This project uses tinyobjloader for loading .obj files. The header file is already inside the tinyobjloader/ folder.

You'll also need to create a models/ folder and put .obj files there. Here are my files.

Your .env file should have the path for GLSLC and tinyobjloader:

GLSLC_PATH = /usr/bin/glslc
TINYOBJLOADER_PATH = external/tinyobjloader

To compile the shaders to obtain the .spv files and make and run the app use the following command:

make test
