Assistance with ZenGL
« on: March 30, 2017, 07:35:20 pm »
Good day everyone reading this.

Apologies, I have read the wiki on getting started with ZenGL and with the searches I performed I read everything I am suppose to do... However I have no idea why nothing will work...

Here is what I know I have done right:
I have downloaded the files and store all files in a seperate directory for ZenGL
I have added the libraries that is required to be added in project options if Lazarus.

Here is what wont work:
I am trying to add a template project for ZenGL, and according to what I have read I did what was needed but still the template does not appear... I do not know if I should add a new project.ini file or amend one sorry noob mistake probably.
I have secondly tried to run some of the demo projects however they wont compile stating that

"executing command before: cannot find executable "", errors 1

Please I would like to start using ZenGL but I cannot get it to work, please assist me

Thanks

First you should run the demos. I haven't tried ZenGL myself but it sounds like your project settings are wrong. You can compile and run it from file explorer?

I heard from ZenGL's forum, the development of ZenGL has been stopped. I think you should try the others, perhaps Allegro. I never seriously use Allegro, but it worked on my first attempt. The documentation is good, learning it won't be hard.

Allegro wrapper for Pascal:
http://allegro-pas.sourceforge.net/

Allegro main website:

In Project Options window: Compiler Options -> Paths ->
Set "Other unit files" so that the path to libSDL (and everything else of ZenGL source folders) are included.
