# Build Presets Guide This document explains the reorganized CMake preset system for Yaze. ## Design Principles 1. **Short, memorable names** - No more `macos-dev-z3ed-ai`, just `mac-ai` 2. **Warnings off by default** - Add `-v` suffix for verbose (e.g., `mac-dbg-v`) 3. **Clear architecture support** - Explicit ARM64 and x86_64 presets 4. **Platform prefixes** - `mac-`, `win-`, `lin-` for easy identification ## Quick Start ### macOS Development ```bash # Most common: AI-enabled development cmake --preset mac-ai cmake --build --preset mac-ai # Basic debug build (no AI) cmake --preset mac-dbg cmake --build --preset mac-dbg # Verbose warnings for debugging cmake --preset mac-dbg-v cmake --build --preset mac-dbg-v # Release build cmake --preset mac-rel cmake --build --preset mac-rel ``` ### Windows Development ```bash # Debug build (x64) cmake --preset win-dbg cmake --build --preset win-dbg # AI-enabled development cmake --preset win-ai cmake --build --preset win-ai # ARM64 support cmake --preset win-arm cmake --build --preset win-arm ``` ## All Presets ### macOS Presets | Preset | Description | Arch | Warnings | Notes | |--------|-------------|------|----------|-------| | `mac-dbg` | Debug build | Host | Off | Tests enabled | | `mac-dbg-v` | Debug build (verbose) | Host | On | Extra warnings | | `mac-rel` | Release build | Host | Off | LTO enabled | | `mac-dev` | Development build | Host | Off | ROM tests enabled | | `mac-ai` | AI + gRPC dev | Host | Off | Agent UI + automation | | `mac-ai-fast` | AI dev (system gRPC) | Host | Off | `brew install grpc protobuf abseil` | | `mac-uni` | Universal binary | arm64 + x86_64 | Off | Release packaging | | `mac-sdl3` | SDL3 build | Host | Off | Experimental | | `mac-test` | Fast test build | Host | Off | RelWithDebInfo | ### Windows Presets | Preset | Description | Arch | Generator | Notes | |--------|-------------|------|-----------|-------| | `win-dbg` | Debug build | x64 | Ninja | Tests enabled | | `win-dbg-v` | Debug build (verbose) | x64 | Ninja | Extra warnings | | `win-rel` | Release build | x64 | Ninja | LTO enabled | | `win-dev` | Development build | x64 | Ninja | ROM tests enabled | | `win-ai` | AI + gRPC dev | x64 | Ninja | Agent UI + automation | | `win-z3ed` | z3ed CLI | x64 | Ninja | CLI stack only | | `win-arm` | Debug ARM64 | ARM64 | Ninja | | | `win-arm-rel` | Release ARM64 | ARM64 | Ninja | | | `win-vs-dbg` | Debug build | x64 | Visual Studio | | | `win-vs-rel` | Release build | x64 | Visual Studio | | | `win-vs-ai` | AI + gRPC dev | x64 | Visual Studio | | | `win-sdl3` | SDL3 build | x64 | Ninja | Experimental | | `win-test` | Fast test build | x64 | Ninja | RelWithDebInfo | ### Linux Presets | Preset | Description | Compiler | Notes | |--------|-------------|----------|-------| | `lin-dbg` | Debug build | GCC/Clang | Tests enabled | | `lin-dbg-v` | Debug build (verbose) | GCC/Clang | Extra warnings | | `lin-rel` | Release build | GCC/Clang | LTO enabled | | `lin-dev` | Development build | GCC/Clang | ROM tests enabled | | `lin-ai` | AI + gRPC dev | GCC/Clang | Agent UI + automation | | `lin-sdl3` | SDL3 build | GCC/Clang | Experimental | | `lin-test` | Fast test build | GCC/Clang | RelWithDebInfo | ### CI Presets | Preset | Description | |--------|-------------| | `ci-linux` | Linux CI build | | `ci-macos` | macOS CI build | | `ci-windows` | Windows CI build | | `ci-windows-ai` | Windows AI/automation CI build | ### WASM Presets | Preset | Description | |--------|-------------| | `wasm-debug` | WebAssembly debug build | | `wasm-release` | WebAssembly release build | | `wasm-crash-repro` | Minimal repro build | | `wasm-ai` | WebAssembly AI build | ### Test Presets Run with `ctest --preset `. | Preset | Description | |--------|-------------| | `all` | All tests (including ROM-dependent) | | `stable` | Stable tests only | | `unit` | Unit tests only | | `integration` | Integration tests only | | `fast` | macOS fast test preset | | `fast-win` | Windows fast test preset | | `fast-lin` | Linux fast test preset | | `stable-ai` | Stable tests against `ci-windows-ai` | | `unit-ai` | Unit tests against `ci-windows-ai` | | `integration-ai` | Integration tests against `ci-windows-ai` | ## Warning Control By default, all presets suppress compiler warnings with `-w` for a cleaner build experience. ### To Enable Verbose Warnings: 1. Use a preset with `-v` suffix (e.g., `mac-dbg-v`, `win-dbg-v`) 2. Or set `YAZE_SUPPRESS_WARNINGS=OFF` manually: ```bash cmake --preset mac-dbg -DYAZE_SUPPRESS_WARNINGS=OFF ``` ## Architecture Support ### macOS - **Apple Silicon (arm64)**: `mac-dbg`, `mac-rel`, `mac-ai`, `mac-dev`, etc. - **Intel (x86_64)**: Use the same `mac-*` presets (they target the host arch). - **Universal Binary**: `mac-uni` (arm64 + x86_64) ### Windows - **x64**: `win-dbg`, `win-rel`, `win-ai`, etc. - **ARM64**: `win-arm`, `win-arm-rel` ## Build Directories Most presets use `build/`. WASM presets use `build-wasm/`. Keep only these two build directories in the repo to avoid bloat. For isolated agent builds, point `binaryDir` to a path outside the repo via `CMakeUserPresets.json`. ### Shared Dependency Caches To avoid re-downloading dependencies after cleaning build dirs, set shared caches via `CMakeUserPresets.json` (see `CMakeUserPresets.json.example`) or environment variables: ```bash export CPM_SOURCE_CACHE="$HOME/.cpm-cache" export VCPKG_DOWNLOADS="$HOME/.cache/vcpkg/downloads" export VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES="clear;files,$HOME/.cache/vcpkg/bincache,readwrite" ``` For scripts and the agent build tool, you can also set `YAZE_BUILD_DIR` to an external path (e.g., `$HOME/.cache/yaze/build`) to keep the working tree clean. ## Feature Flags Common CMake options you can override: ```bash # Enable/disable components -DYAZE_BUILD_TESTS=ON/OFF -DYAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI=ON/OFF # AI features -DYAZE_ENABLE_AI=ON/OFF -DYAZE_ENABLE_AI_RUNTIME=ON/OFF -DYAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON/OFF -DYAZE_PREFER_SYSTEM_GRPC=ON/OFF -DYAZE_ENABLE_JSON=ON/OFF -DYAZE_ENABLE_REMOTE_AUTOMATION=ON/OFF # Testing -DYAZE_ENABLE_ROM_TESTS=ON/OFF -DYAZE_TEST_ROM_VANILLA_PATH=/path/to/alttp_vanilla.sfc -DYAZE_TEST_ROM_EXPANDED_PATH=/path/to/oos168.sfc -DYAZE_USE_SDL3=ON/OFF -DYAZE_ENABLE_LTO=ON/OFF ``` ## Examples ### Development with AI features and verbose warnings ```bash cmake --preset mac-dbg-v -DYAZE_ENABLE_AI=ON -DYAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=ON -DYAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI=ON cmake --build --preset mac-dbg-v ``` ### Release build for distribution (macOS Universal) ```bash cmake --preset mac-uni cmake --build --preset mac-uni cpack --preset mac-uni ``` ### Quick minimal build for testing ```bash cmake --preset mac-dbg -DYAZE_ENABLE_AI=OFF -DYAZE_ENABLE_GRPC=OFF -DYAZE_BUILD_AGENT_UI=OFF cmake --build --preset mac-dbg -j12 ``` ## Updating compile_commands.json After configuring with a new preset, copy the compile commands for IDE support: ```bash cp build/compile_commands.json . ``` This ensures clangd and other LSP servers can find headers and understand build flags. ## Migration from Old Presets Old preset names have been simplified: | Old Name | New Name | |----------|----------| | `macos-dev-z3ed-ai` | `mac-ai` | | `macos-debug` | `mac-dbg` | | `macos-release` | `mac-rel` | | `macos-debug-universal` | `mac-uni` | | `windows-debug` | `win-dbg` | | `windows-release` | `win-rel` | | `windows-arm64-debug` | `win-arm` | | `linux-debug` | `lin-dbg` | ## Troubleshooting ### Warnings are still showing - Make sure you're using a preset without `-v` suffix - Check `cmake` output for `✓ Warnings suppressed` message - Reconfigure and rebuild: `rm -rf build && cmake --preset mac-dbg` ### clangd can't find nlohmann/json - Run `cmake --preset ` to regenerate compile_commands.json - Copy to root: `cp build/compile_commands.json .` - Restart your IDE or LSP server ### Build fails with missing dependencies - Re-run configure to fetch CPM dependencies: `cmake --preset ` - If offline, set `CPM_SOURCE_CACHE` to a populated cache directory - For AI features, make sure you have OpenSSL: `brew install openssl` (macOS)
