Hi all,
I’m just getting started with openFrameworks and would appreciate any advice on the best ways to develop/package projects. I’m currently developing on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2017. I’ve installed openFrameworks, played with many of the examples, worked through some of the oF book and created a couple of my own toy projects. All that has been wonderful.
My ultimate target platform is a single board computer running Linux. The specific board is yet to be determined, but current contenders include ARM-based processors. My question is… If I develop my project on Windows, what will I be faced with when I ultimately want to move that project to my target platform?
I understand there will be performance considerations based the differing capabilities of my development machine vs. the the target machine. But what other “porting” issues am I likely to face? And what would the porting process look like?
Would it be a matter of installing openFrameworks on the target machine, setting up a new project there, and moving my source into that project? Or…?
Is it better to develop on the target platform to avoid the porting process altogether? But what if one needs to deploy to multiple platforms?
All insights welcomed!
Thanks,
James
