A blank project example showing how to use libigl and cmake. Feel free and encouraged to copy or fork this project as a way of starting a new personal project using libigl.

Then build, run and understand the libigl tutorial.

The only dependencies are stl, eigen, libigl and the dependencies of the igl::opengl::glfw::Viewer.

The cmake build system will attempt to find libigl according to environment variables (e.g., LIBIGL) and searching in common desitinations (e.g., /usr/local/libigl/). If you haven't installed libigl before, we recommend you to clone a copy of libigl right here:

cd libigl-example-project/
git clone https://github.com/libigl/libigl.git

Compile this project using the standard cmake routine:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

This should find and build the dependencies and create a example_bin binary.

From within the build directory just issue:

./example_bin

A glfw app should launch displaying a 3D cube.
