Requirements
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTK is designed to be used in an IDE with auto-completion and documentation tooltips:
|
||||
- Visual Studio 2005 or higher
|
||||
- Xamarin Studio 2.x or higher
|
||||
- MonoDevelop 2.x or higher
|
||||
- SharpDevelop 3.x or higher
|
||||
|
||||
You can develop on your favorite operating system. Compiled binaries can be deployed without recompilation on:
|
||||
- Windows
|
||||
- Linux
|
||||
- Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
For:
|
||||
- Android
|
||||
- iOS
|
||||
you will need to recompile your code with Xamarin (http://xamarin.com/download)
|
||||
- Windows (XP/Vista/7/8), Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, SteamOS, Android or iOS
|
||||
- For graphics, OpenGL drivers or a suitable emulator, such as [ANGLE](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/Dependencies/Readme.txt)
|
||||
- For audio, OpenAL drivers or [OpenAL Soft](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/Dependencies/Readme.txt)
|
||||
- To develop desktop applications: Visual Studio, Xamarin Studio, MonoDevelop or SharpDevelop
|
||||
- To develop Android applications: Xamarin Studio or the Xamarin Extensions for Visual Studio
|
||||
- To develop iOS applications: Xamarin Studio and XCode
|
||||

Documentation
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
The Documentation/ folder contains extensive documentation on OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenAL. Start with these:
|
||||
Your favorite IDE will display inline documentation for all OpenTK APIs. Additional information can be found in the [OpenTK Manual](http://www.opentk.com/doc) and in the [opentk/Documentation/](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/develop/Documentation) folder.
