Set up?

[tmcw]

@ansis have you been able to get this set up? Is it going to be practical to develop this project on your linux-box?

[springmeyer]

See the last todos on the gyp pull. I'm working to ensure it is easy to build the core libllmr on Linux.

[ansis]

thanks! I'll try to write a wrapper once that gets merged

@ansis @tmcw it should be practical to do so. They only OS X specific parts that are in main.mm are the http request loading from platform.hpp. The GL context is provided by GLFW, which should work on Linux.

As for implementing platform.hpp: The way this is handled on Mac OS is the following: The request happens asynchronously and the request function gets a C++11 callback function which is executed back in the main thread(!) once the request is completed (either successfully or failed).

Cool: if we can't get this running in Linux, we will need to send Ansis a MacBook and force him to love the .

and force him to love the 

or as its more commonly known on linux: the ▯

@tmcw gave me a bit more context on this. @ansis def. free to ping @springmeyer and I as you get this going on Linux, as the whole goal of a build system is of course cross-platform ease.

[springmeyer]

tracking linux support at #26 and #27

[ansis]

@springmeyer, huge thanks for getting it to build! the instructions were flawless

[springmeyer]

@ansis - oh, excellent, thanks for testing! There are certainly still gaps (like #40) so don't hesitate to create tickets for any minor build issues you run into.
