# 설치 가이드

1. 코드 내려받기

git clone https://github.com/adriengivry/orhi

깃허브에서 프로젝트 코드 전체를 내 컴퓨터로 내려받습니다.

cd orhi

방금 내려받은 프로젝트 폴더 안으로 이동합니다.

2. CMake

보통 추천

사전 준비물

Git GitHub에서 프로젝트 코드를 내려받으려면 필요합니다.
CMake 빌드 설정을 생성하는 도구입니다.
C/C++ 컴파일러 Windows는 Visual Studio(Community 무료), macOS는 Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux는 gcc/g++ 패키지가 필요합니다.

mkdir build && cd build

빌드 결과물을 담을 폴더를 만들고 그 안으로 이동합니다.

cmake ..

소스코드를 분석해 빌드 설정 파일을 생성합니다 (build 폴더 안에서 실행해야 함).

make

생성된 빌드 설정을 바탕으로 실제 컴파일을 진행해 실행 파일을 만듭니다.

✅ build 폴더 안에 실행 파일이 생성됐는지 확인하고, 직접 실행해보세요 (예: ./build/앱이름).

# OpenRHI

**OpenRHI** — *orhi* — is a lightweight, permissive, and cross-platform **Render Hardware Interface** for modern graphics APIs, built with C++20.

Write hardware-agnostic graphics code once, and run it seamlessly across multiple platforms and graphics APIs.

> [!important]
> _OpenRHI_ is a collaborative, open-source project, and we’re **actively looking for contributors**! The Vulkan backend is partially implemented, and the DirectX 12 backend is in progress (see this [pull request](https://github.com/adriengivry/orhi/pull/24) for more info). Whether you’re experienced in graphics programming or just eager to learn, your contributions can help _OpenRHI_ become a modern open-source reference for rendering. Join us and make an impact!

**OpenRHI** is...
- 🧩 **Simple:** Easy to understand and extend
- ⚡ **Fast:** Minimal runtime overhead with template-based design
- ⛓️‍💥 **Standalone:** Zero external dependencies
- 📃 **Documented:** Comprehensive source code documentation
- 🌈 **Cross-platform:** Native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- ⚙️ **Build-ready:** Quick setup with [CMake](https://cmake.org/)

**Goals:**
- Provide a thin, explicit abstraction over modern graphics APIs
- Offer low-level access to each backend through a unified interface
- Maintain explicitness: no hidden logic or implicit behavior
- Ensure minimal runtime overhead with zero-cost abstractions
- Remain cross-platform and hardware-agnostic
- Maintain minimal external dependencies

**Non-Goals:**
- Hiding platform or API-specific implementation details
- Acting as a high-level rendering engine or framework
- Abstracting away or simplifying modern graphics concepts
- Automatically managing resources, pipelines, or synchronization

## Supported Graphics APIs

**OpenRHI** primarily targets **desktop platforms**, with an [API](include/orhi/api/) architecture designed for maximum flexibility to support any backend your application needs.

**Target platforms:** Windows (🪟), Linux (🐧), and macOS (🍎)

### Implementation Status
| Graphics API | Platforms | Status |
|-|-|-|
| Vulkan | 🪟🐧 | 🌓 Partial |
| DirectX 12 | 🪟 | ⌛ In Progress |
| Metal | 🍎 | ❓ TBD — Should we rely on [MoltenVK](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK) instead? |
| Mock (Headless) | 🪟🐧🍎 | 📅 Planned |
| OpenGL | 🪟🐧 | ☠️ Deprecated — Moved to [BareGL](https://github.com/adriengivry/baregl) |

> [!WARNING]
> **OpenRHI** is actively evolving as support for additional graphics backends is added. The [API](include/orhi/api/) may change to accommodate the unique requirements and design philosophies of each backend. Implementation details are also subject to refinement as the project works toward production-quality standards.

## CMake Configuration
| Option | Allowed Values | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `ORHI_COMPILE_VULKAN` | - | Compile Vulkan backend |
| `ORHI_COMPILE_MOCK` | - | Compile Mock backend |
| `ORHI_DEFAULT_GFX_API` |  `vulkan`, `mock` | Select the default graphics API to use when including backend-agnostic headers |
| `ORHI_WINDOW_SYSTEM` | `xlib`&nbsp;(linux)<br>`xcb`&nbsp;(linux)<br>`wayland`&nbsp;(linux)<br>`none`&nbsp;(headless) | Select the window system to use when compiling for linux or to use the headless mode |
| `ORHI_GENERATE_EXAMPLES` |  - | Generate example projects (require [glfw](https://github.com/glfw/glfw), [glm](https://github.com/g-truc/glm), and [stb](https://github.com/nothings/stb) submodules to be initialized) |

> [!NOTE]
> **OpenRHI** currently builds only as a static library.

## Multi-Backend Architecture
**OpenRHI** supports compiling with multiple graphics APIs simultaneously.

You can also choose which graphics API serves as the default backend for API-agnostic objects, while still having access to backend-specific implementations when needed.

### Using the Default Graphics API
```cpp
#include <orhi/Buffer.h>

orhi::Buffer buffer{};
```

### Using Specific Graphics APIs
```cpp
#include <orhi/impl/vk/Buffer.h>
#include <orhi/impl/mock/Buffer.h>

orhi::impl::vk::Buffer vulkanBuffer{};
orhi::impl::mock::Buffer mockBuffer{};
```

## Examples
**OpenRHI** comes with a set of [examples](examples/) for you to try.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Example projects depend on [glfw](https://github.com/glfw/glfw), [glm](https://github.com/g-truc/glm), and [stb](https://github.com/nothings/stb), which are included as Git submodules. Make sure to initialize submodules before generating projects.

**Windows:**
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/adriengivry/orhi --recurse-submodules
cd .\orhi
.\gen_proj_win32.bat
.\build\orhi.sln # (optional) open solution in Visual Studio
```

**Linux:**
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/adriengivry/orhi --recurse-submodules
cd ./orhi
./gen_proj_linux.sh
```
