some paquage are necessary to compile all the stuff : on ubuntu 14.10 : apt-get install libqt4-dev-bin libglfw-dev libqt4-dev this is the c++ api for ivy. It's a wrapper over ivy-c, so ivy-c should be installed prior this. It is api compatible with the native ivy c++ implementation for windows. make all produce : ° libIvy.so a shared lib whith his own mainloop for console app. ° libIvy_Qt.so a shared lib which integrate in the Qt framework. ° libIvy_Xt.so a shared lib which integrate in the X toolkit mainloop ° libIvy_glfw.so a shared lib which integrate with glfw framework, in this case, there is a local ivy mainloop in a thread, and another gl thread which does the drawing, beware that you cannot directly call openGl within callback called by the ivy thread !! ° testIvyQt a test which demonstrate how to use Ivy and Qt ° testIvyXt a test which demonstrate how to use Ivy and Xt
