# HALT

Hardware accelerated terminal implementation written in C++ and OpenGL.

## Installation

### Windows

HALT has a dependency on the OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library. You must

download it from [here](http://glew.sourceforge.net/).

While you can build HALT standalone, it is recommended that you use

[CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) instead as it is much easier.

#### CMake

First, clone the repository:

    >git clone git://github.com/jcmoyer/HALT.git

Then, inside the HALT folder create a new folder called build:

    >cd HALT

    >mkdir build

    >cd build

You can then invoke CMake from the command line or by using the CMake GUI. Here

is how you do it from the command line:

    >cmake ..

CMake will then generate files to compile HALT in the build directory.

#### Visual Studio (Standalone)

Clone the repository into a folder:

    >git clone git://github.com/jcmoyer/HALT.git

Then, in Visual Studio, create a new project from source. Select the HALT

directory. You need to configure your build settings so that Visual Studio

builds either a static library or DLL (consult your documentation). Then, link

in `OpenGL32.lib` and `glew32.lib`. Build normally.

The examples have an additional dependency on SDL 1.2. They can be built by

linking `SDL.lib` and `Halt.lib` (default).

### Linux

#### Debian/Ubuntu

First, download the required dependencies. These are required to build HALT in

one way or another:

    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libglew-dev libgl1-mesa-dev

Then, clone the repository:

    $ git clone git://github.com/jcmoyer/HALT.git

##### CMake

Go into the HALT directory and create a new directory called build:

    $ cd HALT/

    $ mkdir build && cd build

Then, you can use CMake to generate makefiles for HALT:

    $ cmake ..

Or, if you prefer a GUI that lists all of the compile settings:

    $ ccmake ..

Then you can build it and install it if you wish:

    $ make && make install

## Usage

You can view the documentation [here](http://jcmoyer.github.io/HALT/). You can

also find working examples in the examples directory. The examples depend on SDL

1.2 and HALT.
