Some common cases include the CI_MIN_LOG_LEVEL, as described in this guide, and compile time macros that adjust the way that CI_ASSERT() works. This is particularly useful when using Cinder in a project via a git submodule. In some instances, it can be useful to modify libcinder's preprocessor flags without requiring direct modification of its project.

This can be useful for supporting machines where OpenGL drivers can't be guaranteed or are of poorer quality than DirectX. ANGLE, which stands for Almost Native Graphics Library, is an implementation of OpenGL ES in terms of DirectX. In addition to the normal Debug and Release build configurations, Cinder also ships with Debug_ANGLE and Release_ANGLE variants. If you do so, you'll want to make sure you've built Cinder with the same. Furthermore, the v141 toolset is fully supported, meaning you can optionally upgrade to the native 2017 toolset. As of this writing Cinder ships with only VC 2015 projects, but these can be used with 2017 without modification. Development RequirementsĬinder supports Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017, including the free Community editions of both.

To target a different version of Windows, you'll need to modify this variable in both your application and Cinder itself, and rebuild Cinder. This is dictated by the _WIN32_WINNT macro, which is typically defined in your project's Preprocessor Definitions build setting. Targetingīy default Cinder targets Windows 7 and later. These are some general notes on Cinder's implementation on the Microsoft Windows platform.
