So I’m taking CS 607 (AI for Games).
I setup Ubuntu and the Qt environment.
I needed to:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libSM-dev libxrender-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxext-dev
to get the projects to compile. Soon I hope to have a prebuilt VirtualBox machine image that folks could download and use to compile their openGL apps in Linux.
