VisibleSim

Getting Started

A User Manual and a Technical Reference are available in the doc directory, to get users and contributors started with VisibleSim.

Installation

Dependencies:

• GLUT
• GLEW
• SBCL - to compile Meld programs
• MUPARSER - to use CSG

Compilation

VisibleSim is written in C++17 and therefore requires a compatible compiler such as gcc9 or a recent version of clang.

Installing Submodules

There are a number of other repositories included as git submodules in VisibleSim and used as utilities (e.g. a configuration generator). They need to be fetched from their respective repositories before they can be used. This can be done with the following commands, from the project's root:

git submodule init
git submodule update
