The Desktop target

The desktop target (formerly the Glfw target) allows you to create apps for Windows, MacOS and Linux desktop environments.

Desktop apps use the OpenGL API for graphics rendering and the OpenAL API for audio.

Windows Requirements

• MinGW 4.9.2 or Visual Studio Community 2019 for Windows Desktop.
• OpenAL Windows Drivers.

MacOS Requirements

• XCode developer tools. XCode is also available via the Mac 'App Store' app.

Notes

On Windows, either MinGW or MSVC may be used to build desktop apps. If you are using MinGW, the MINGW_PATH var in your Trans config file must be set correctly. If you are using MSVC, the MSBUILD_PATH var in your Trans config file must be set correctly.
