[proposal] remove config.make

[themancalledjakob]

hey patricio,

I think you want to remove & ignore config.make as it sets your OF_ROOT to /home/patricio/Desktop/openFrameworks.

https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/lygia_of_examples/blob/main/config.make#L11

This directory obviously exists for you, so everything works when you run it. But everyone else will see an error:

Makefile:13: /home/patricio/Desktop/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/makefileCommon/compile.project.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/home/patricio/Desktop/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project/makefileCommon/compile.project.mk'.  Stop.

I saw that you mention in the README to use the projectGenerator, which I guess also fixes this, but if you just leave that file away it works without the need to generate a new project :)

so then you simply do:

cd openFrameworks/apps/myApps/
git clone --recursive https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/lygia_of_examples.git
cd lygia_of_examples
make
make run

Hi @themancalledjakob ! thanks for that suggestion. you are right. Do you mind making a PR?

hey @patriciogonzalezvivo,

yep, here it is: #9

actually, it could make sense to turn this into an openFrameworks addon.

Then, the addon could automatically copy the shader library in a project when the addon is included. addon could look like this:

ofxLygia
├── addon_config.mk
├── data
│   └── @lygia
├── example
│   ├── addons.make
│   ├── bin
│   │   └── data
│   │       ├── *.frag
│   │       └── imgs
│   │            └── *.png
│   └── src
│       ├── main.cpp
│       ├── ofApp.cpp
│       └── ofApp.h
└── README.md

I didn't yet check out the code properly, but it is also possible to copy different flavors depending on the build (e.g. OpenGL ES for emscripten builds).

There is an addon_config.mk, which could hold something like this:

meta:
    ADDON_NAME = ofxLygia
    ADDON_DESCRIPTION = LYGIA, it's a granular and multi-language (GLSL, HLSL, WGSL, MSL and CUDA) shader library designed for performance and flexibility
    ADDON_AUTHOR = Patricio Gonzalez Vivo 
    ADDON_TAGS = "webgl library shaders computer-graphics glsl shader hlsl glsl-shader wgpu hlsl-shader metal-shader wgsl shader-library wgsl-shader"
    ADDON_URL = https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/ofxLygia

common:
        # [edit: removed comments]

    # some addons need resources to be copied to the bin/data folder of the project
    # specify here any files that need to be copied, you can use wildcards like * and ?
    # ADDON_DATA =
    ADDON_DATA = data/lygia

emscripten:
        # this is obviously not a real directory, just to show how it could be possible
    ADDON_DATA = data/lygia/egl

linux64:
    ADDON_DATA = data/lygia/gl3
