Dear_Bindings_Build

This project aims to simply and easily build ImGui examples with C language and Zig language using Dear_Bindings as first step.

ImGui version 1.90.8 (2024/06)

Prerequisites

---

• Windows10 OS
• GCC (or Clang or 'Zig cc' compiler)
• Use Zig: 0.12.0 (zig cc: clang version 17.0.6)
• Zig 0.13.0 ? (Compiling is ok so far)
• Pyhton3
• MSys/MinGW basic commands (make, rm, cp ...)

Build and run

---

1. Download this project.

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/dinau/dear_bindings_build

2. Go to one of the examples folder,

   cd dear_bindings_build/examples/glfw_opengl3

3. Build and Run

   make run                

Examples screen shots

---

Language	GLFW	SDL2	SDL3
C lang.	glfw_opengl3	sdl2_opengl3	sdl3_opengl3
Zig lang.	zig_glfw_opengl3	zig_sdl2_opengl3	zig_sdl3_opengl3

---

Language	GLFW
C lang.	glfw_opengl3_jp

---

Language	GLFW
C lang.	glfw_opengl3_image_load
Zig lang.	zig_glfw_opengl3_image_load

---

Language	GLFW
C lang.	glfw_opengl3_image_save
Zig lang.	zig_glfw_opengl3_image_load

Image file captured would be saved in current folder.
Image can be saved as JPEG / PNG / BMP / TGA file.

Hiding console window

---

• Zig lang. examples
  Open build.zig in each example folder and enable option line as follows,

  ... snip ...
  exe.subsystem = .Windows;  // Hide console window
  ... snip ...

  and execute make.

• C lang. examples
  Open Makefile in each example folder and change option as follows,

  ... snip ...
  HIDE_CONSOLE_WINDOW = true
  ... snip ...

  and execute make.

Regenarate ImGui bindings

---

For instance,

pwd 
glfw_opengl3
make cleanall
make gen
make run

Note: Except Zig lang. examples.

Artifacts are generated into ../libs/cimgui folder.

Build with Clang, Zig cc

---

For instance,

pwd 
glfw_opengl3
make cleanobjs   
make TC=clang    # or TC=zigcc

Compiling with TC=zigcc may link dynamic library at this time.

Note: Except Zig lang. examples.
