VR-Window-Sample

Using VR Window Sample code from

https://developer.x-plane.com/code-sample/vr-window-sample/

Create a CMake project with GitHub Actions

Building VR-Window-Sample from source

On windows

1. Install required software using Chocolatey using admin command prompt:

   pascalCopy

   choco install git cmake
   choco install mingw --version 8.1.0

   You can also install the same programs manually if you prefer.

2. Checkout and configure the project:

   pascalCopy

   git clone https://github.com/sparker256/X-Plane-12-VR-Window-Sample.git
   cd X-Plane-12-VR-Window-Sample
   cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -S .\src -B .\build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

3. Build the project and copy the plugin DLL into the appropriate directory:

   pascalCopy

   cmake --build .\build
   cp .\build\win.xpl .\VR-Window-Sample\64\

On Ubuntu:

1. Install required software:
   pascalCopy

   sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential cmake git freeglut3-dev libudev-dev libopenal-dev

2. Checkout and configure the project:
   pascalCopy

   git clone https://github.com/sparker256/X-Plane-12-VR-Window-Sample.git
   cd X-Plane-12-VR-Window-Sample
   cmake -S ./src -B ./build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

3. Build the project and copy the plugin DLL into the appropriate directory:
   pascalCopy

   cmake --build ./build
   cp ./build/lin.xpl ./VR_Window_Sample/64/

On OS X:

1. Install XCode, Git, CMake (Homebrew can be convenient for this).
2. Checkout and configure the project:
   pascalCopy

   git clone https://github.com/sparker256/X-Plane-12-VR-Window-Sample.git
   cd X-Plane-12-VR-Window-Sample
   cmake -S ./src -B ./build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

3. Build the project and copy the plugin DLL into the appropriate directory:
   pascalCopy

   cmake --build ./build
   cp ./build/mac.xpl ./VR_Window_Sample/64/
