mglw-strip (Making OpenGL Work -- Stripped)

Original Repository (mglw) was for Ray-tracing
Was originally used in WSL exclusively, but due to Platform Limitations & Performance concerns I decided to port it to Windows [MinGW]
- Windows Only Repository
- Requires mingw64 ( llvm version recommended )

Requirements & General Workflow

Requires GLFW at mingw_install_folder/../lib/GLFW/ (feel free to change in .vscode/clangd/makefile.mf):

[Folder] GLFW
└───[Folder] include (already at src/include/GLFW/* [not important])  
└───[Folder] lib
│   │   glfw3.dll
│   │   libglfw3.a
│   │   libglfw3dll.a

Build Workflow:

Call ' make debug // release// clean[dbg][rel] // rec[dbg][rel] '
Makefile in src/* is executed, outsourcing variables for internal makefile
Makefile calls gen_commands.sh (Located at .vscode/clangd_cc)
gen_commands.sh executes makefile.mf (Also at .vscode/clangd_cc) with all variables set
makefile.mf compiles the project source

[NOTICE] WHEN MODIFYING INCLUDE PATHS IN makefile.mf, ALSO UPDATE IN settings.json [NOTICE]

First Time Running & Executable DLL's

Easiest way of making sure your executable won't crash is by first using ldd
Make sure the Compiler can find the appropriate lib's/dll's, by for instance adding them to PATH (Order Matters!) :

[PATH] Edit Environment Variables [My Machine]
  --> C:\CTools\mingw64-msvcrt\bin
  --> C:\CTools\mingw64-msvcrt\lib
  --> C:\CTools\mingw64-msvcrt\x86_64-w64-mingw32
  --> C:\CTools\lib\GLFW\lib
  --> ...

Here's the output I got after a lot of trial and error with the dll's:

$ ldd ./build/debug/bin/mglw.exe
       ntdll.dll      => /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7fff94710000)

Contributing

I'm not planning on making this repository public anytime soon.
If I were to actually make this public, I don't think anyone would be this interested in making Pull-Requests anyway.
Just open an issue and we'll discuss.

License & Last Notice!

Don't really mind, would prefer if not used commercially and instead for personal projects only

If I forgot anything or the project just doesn't work, feel free to throw stones at me when you get the chance : )

I have NO clue why I spent so much time on this README when no one will read it besides me. Maybe now I have to make this public lol
