This package includes the complete AntTweakBar library source code for Linux, MacOSX and Windows, as well as 32 and 64-bit binaries for Windows. It also includes some examples that show how the library can be integrated in several graphic frameworks.

The project and source code repository is here. Note that the project is not maintained anymore.

Installation and use

Install

Unzip the archive in a directory of your choice.

Build the library (Linux and OSX)

Under Windows, it is not necessary to rebuild AntTweakBar since a precompiled version is provided in the directory lib. But if you want to recompile it, you can use the provided Visual Studio solution. You’d also need the DirectX SDK, and the path to the DirectX shader compiler fxc.exe (included in the DirectX SDK) must be listed in the VC++ directories.

To build the library on Linux, open a terminal, go in the directory src and type make

To build the library on MacOSX, open a terminal, go in the directory src and type make -f Makefile.osx

Build the examples (optional)

Compiled versions of the examples for 32 and 64-bit systems can be found in the directories examples/bin32 and examples/bin64. A Visual Studio solution is also provided in the directory examples if you want to rebuild them.

Under Linux and OSX, you may need to rebuild the examples. To do so, under Linux, open a terminal, go in the directory examples and type make. Under OSX, open a terminal, go in the directory examples and type make -f Makefile.osx.

To recompile the examples you also need the following external libraries: GLFW, GLUT, SDL, SFML.

Use it in your program

To use the AntTweakBar library in your program, modify your project or makefile as follow:
- add the AntTweakBar include directory to your project include paths,
- add the AntTweakBar lib directory to your project library paths,
- and link with AntTweakBar.lib if you are using 32-bit Windows, AntTweakBar64.lib if you are using 64-bit Windows, or AntTweakBar if you are using Linux or OSX.

Note for Windows:
Your program will be dynamically linked to AntTweakBar.dll or AntTweakBar64.dll . To run your program, the file AntTweakBar.dll or AntTweakBar64.dll must have been copied in the same directory as your executable.
Notes for Linux and OSX:
Your program will be dynamically linked to libAntTweakBar.so on Linux or libAntTweakBar.dylib on OSX. To run your program, these files must have been copied to your shared libraries directory (usually /usr/local/lib/), or their path must have been added to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on OSX.
