Xcode + LibOVR integration instructions

NOTE THIS IS ALREADY DONE. you don’t have to do any of this, these are notes for how I built this project from scratch- in case you want to do it yourself.

---

from a blank OSX Cocoa project

Drag LibOVR into Xcode Project, uncheck all “Add to Target”

Link libovr.a (drag it from LibOVR/Lib/MacOS/Debug), and IOKit

Set architecture to 64-bit Intel (x86_64)

C++ settings- set the standard library to libstdc++ (GNU C++ standard library), disable exceptions, disable runtime types

Coordinate your Search Paths to wherever the LibOVR folder resides: Header Search Paths (same for debug and release): LibOVR/Src, LibOVR/Include Library Search Paths:

• Debug : LibOVR/Lib/MacOS/Debug
• Release : LibOVR/Lib/MacOS/Release

Any classes which include OVR.h, and the classes which include THOSE classes, must be named *.mm, or must be marked as Objective-C++ source. Leave the .h files alone.

---

For reference: this is the example’s directory structure

---

Test it

edit main.mm:

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#include "OVR.h”

using namespace OVR;

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    System::Init();
    return NSApplicationMain(argc, argv);
}

If this builds, success!
