Bounce uses premake for generating project files in a platform agnostic manner. Grab premake from https://premake.github.io/. Put premake into bounce/. Visual Studio 2017 Ensure you have installed the Visual Studio 2015 libraries. Say { premake5 vs2017 } on a command line. Open build/vs2017/bounce.sln. Set testbed as the startup project. In the testbed debugging properties, set the Working Directory to ..\..\examples\testbed. Press F5 to run. Linux On a clean Ubuntu 16.04 install these packages first: mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev x32 Say { premake5 gmake } on a terminal. From build/gmake say { make config="debug_x32" }. Set the testbed directory as the working directory Open testbed from /bin/x32/testbed/. x64 Say { premake5 gmake } on a terminal. From build/gmake say { make config="debug_x64" }. Set the testbed directory as the working directory Open testbed from /bin/x64/testbed/. Mac I don't run Mac currently and therefore can't test the build system in this platform.
