scenic_app

ScenicApp

Scenic is a GUI framework for Elixir. This is the default new project application with modifications to support Bakeware.

Building and running

Building requires a number of libraries and their development header files. See the Scenic installation guide.

You'll also need to install glfw and glew libraries to be able to run:

MacOS

brew install glfw3 glew pkg-config

Ubuntu

apt-get install pkgconf libglfw3 libglfw3-dev libglew2.1 libglew-dev

After you've worked through that, change to this directory and run the following:

export MIX_ENV=prod
mix deps.get
mix release

The executable is in the _build/prod/rel/bakeware directory. Here's what it should look like when you run it:

$ _build/prod/rel/bakeware/scenic_app
Many debug prints and a GUI window should pop up...

Importantly, you'll be able to copy scenic_app to other systems without them needing Erlang or the development libraries installed. You'll still need the glfw and glew shared libraries, but if you wanted to bundle those inside the scenic_app binary, you could. This would require a custom Mix release step to copy those shared libraries to the release directory, and some work would be needed to make sure that they're in the shared library search path.
