## Abstract

LLGL aims to be a thin abstraction layer for a wide variety of modern and legacy rendering APIs as well as a multitude of platforms targeting both desktop and mobile.

LLGL provides close coupling with the underlying APIs for a rich feature set while also simplifying architectural hurdles.

The library is written mostly in C++11 with the addition of a C99 and C# 6.0 wrapper.

## Build Notes

Build scripts are provided for [**CMake**]((https://cmake.org/)). See [LLGL Build System](https://github.com/LukasBanana/LLGL/tree/master/docu#llgl-build-system) for more details.

### Windows

[**Visual Studio 2015**](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/) or later is required to build LLGL on Windows.

The Windows SDK is also required to build D3D11 and D3D12 backends.

### macOS, iOS

[**Xcode 9**](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) or later is required to build LLGL on macOS and iOS.

### GNU/Linux

LLGL on GNU/Linux requires the development libraries for [X11](https://www.x.org/) and its [Xrandr](https://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR/) extension (see [docs](docu#gnulinux) for details).

### Android

The [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk) with at least API level 21 is required.

The build script to generate project files is currently only supported on **GNU/Linux**

and requires [CMake 3.10](https://cmake.org/) or later and the [Code::Blocks](http://www.codeblocks.org/) IDE.

*This platform support is currently in an experimental state.*

## Installing LuaBridge (vcpkg)

Alternatively, you can build and install LLGL using [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:

```

    git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git

    cd vcpkg

    ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

    ./vcpkg integrate install

    ./vcpkg install llgl

```

The LLGL port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
