Compiling Newton

Windows

Cmake generate varius Visual Studio solutions for: build sdk, demos, wrappers and ulities

• Newton Core and packages: sdk/projects/
• demo sandbox: applications/demosSandbox/projects/

OSX

Cmake XCode for SDK,

• Newton Core and packages: sdk/projects/

note: at this time since demos are build for opengl, there is not backend graphics for apple metal.

Linux

There are Unix makefiles in the project folders mentioned above, but it is highly recommended to use CMake instead.

Newton Core does not have any third party dependencies.

To build the demo sandbox the following packages need to be installed:

• OpenGL
• glfw3
• glatter

All of these should be available on any major Linux distribution (with associated -dev or -devel packages).

Alternatively they can be found in the folder sdk/thirdParty/ and built from source.
