Modern OpenGL App (Core Profile) with wxWidgets as the UI Framework for displaying a simple 3D cube.

This app searches for the wxWidgets library using FindPackage. If not found, it downloads the library source from GitHub, compiles it, and links it with the main project.

The super build pattern with ExternalProject_Add is used to achieve this.

This works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You’ll need cmake and a C++ compiler (tested on clang, gcc, and MSVC).

Linux builds require the GTK3 library and headers installed in the system. You can install them on Ubuntu using:

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev

OpenGL tutorials require OpenGL development package on Linux (Windows and Mac should work out of the box):

sudo apt install libglu1-mesa-dev

To build the project, use:

cmake -S. -Bbuild
cmake --build build

This will create a directory named build and create all build artifacts there. The main executable can be found in the build/subprojects/Build/wx_gl_cube_tutorial_core folder.
