bindbc-imgui 0.7.0

BindBC Imgui

D binding to CImgui with additional OpenGL and SDL backends

Adding to your project

To add bindbc-imgui to your project run

dub add bindbc-imgui

bindbc-imgui will currently build it's own dependencies. We've found that distributing deps for all possible targets too onerous, and so instead now depend on an existing toolchain and tools. That said, we're open to contributions for doing this in a more traditional way across platforms, but we're experiementing with this to make development of inochi-creator (and it's related projects) easier.

Availible Configs

These configs have been developed to ease the use of this project in inochi-creator. Happy to accept PRs for additional configs with alternate goals. But we'd like to avoid (if this works how we're hoping) attempting to distribute binaries within our git source going forward.

Platform Dependencies

Windows

Dependencies

• Visual Studio 2022 (With "Desktop development with C++" workflow installed)
• In theory, "Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022" should also work, but is untested.
• CMake (Currently 3.16 or higher is needed.)
• Dlang, either dmd or ldc

Linux

Dependencies

• The equivalent of build-essential on Ubuntu, on centos 7, this was sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools', this should get you a working C++ toolchain.
• Dlang, either dmd or ldc
• CMake (Currently 3.16 or higher is needed.)
• SDL2 (developer package)
• Freetype (developer package)
• appimagetool (for building an AppImage)

Mac

Unfortunately for now, Mac is still in flux. We're having issues setting up the D side of our toolchain to run consistently, and once it does, our C++ side likely needs some help as well. Check back soon, or contact us via Issues here or the inochi2D project discord if you'd like to help. We'd like Mac to be easy to build, but we're not there yet.

Using backends

To select backends use the versions directive in your dub package file Current backends are: USE_GL, USE_SDL2 (depends on bindbc-sdl) and USE_GLFW (depends on bindbc-glfw).

Running examples

To run the examples go in to the examples directory and compile the example in question.
