Build Instructions

For VSCode users, use the following CMake extensions

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=twxs.cmake
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cmake-tools

For those who want to reduce compile times, consider installing the dependencies on your system.

Windows

Recommended to use msys2 for a Unix-like environment on Windows.

Add to environment variables C:\msys64\mingw64\bin

Install the following packages using pacman -S <package-name>

• mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
• mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-libs
• mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake
• mingw-w64-x86_64-sdl2
• mingw-w64-x86_64-libpng
• mingw-w64-x86_64-abseil-cpp

For yaze_py you will need Boost Python

• mingw-w64-x86_64-boost

macOS

Prefer to use clang provided with XCode command line tools over gcc.

Install the following packages using brew install <package-name>

• cmake
• sdl2
• zlib
• libpng
• abseil
• boost-python3

iOS

Xcode is required to build for iOS. Currently testing with iOS 18 on iPad Pro.

The xcodeproject file is located in the ios directory.

You will need to link SDL2.framework and libpng.a to the project.

GNU/Linux

You can use your package manager to install the same dependencies as macOS.

I trust you know how to use your package manager.
