Requirements

You must obtain a copy of Noesis GUI and place it into the libs/ folder.
Make sure to rename the root Noesis folder
to NoesisGUI
Currently, the NoesisApp dependency will also need to be compiled. You can do so by navigating
to libs/NoesisGUI/Build/ and compiling for your target platform.
You will also need to set the NS_LICENSE_NAME and NS_LICENSE_KEY CMake variables before compling for Panda3D (with
your license
name and key).
