I am trying to add GLM to a project in Xcode 4, but I cannot get it to compile. I have added the glm files to my project through the add files dialog.
I get a lexical/preprocessor issue and Xcode cannot find the file <cmath>
.
I am not sure what I need to tweak to get this to build.
I have seen How do I add OpenGL Mathematics (GLM) to Xcode 4? already.
All you need to do is add the files to the project and #import "glm.hpp"
(for Objective-C++; for simple C++ it should just be #include "glm.hpp"
).
A couple things to be careful of:
The OpenGL Mathematics library, when you download it, comes with a bunch of stuff you don't need (test code, extraneous utilities). Adding these to your project will result in compile errors which I could not get rid of. The only directory you need is the glm/
directory; you can delete the test/
, util/
, doc/
, and bench/
directories. If you were trying to follow "How do I add OpenGL Mathematics (GLM) to Xcode 4?" and were still having problems, this may be the thing which was tripping you up.
The OpenGL Mathematics documentation tells you to include the or files. In Xcode 4, you should include them like "glm.hpp" or "*.hpp". Xcode will find the files no matter where in the project they are. Supposedly you can add a user-defined build setting "USE_HEADERMAP" and set it to "NO" to disable this, but I didn't have any luck with that.
And, just in case, note that your code files using the OpenGL Mathematics library must be Objective C++ files (ending in ".mm"), not the default/plain Objective C files (ending in ".m"). It is very much a C++ library after all... :-)
I hope that help. I was just working through this myself, and I haven't had the chance to really push this (e.g. I've basically just added a mat4
object or two and made sure things still compiled), but it seems to be working.
