## Build instructions
We are using Waf build system. If you have some Waf-related questions, I recommend you to read https://waf.io/book/
2019-02-23 23:47:57 +01:00
If you're stuck somewhere and you need a clear example, read `.travis.yml` and `scripts/build*.sh`.
2018-12-13 07:17:11 +01:00
NOTE: NEVER USE GitHub's ZIP ARCHIVES. They are broken and don't contain external dependencies sources we're using.

#### GNU/Linux
NOTE FOR USERS WITH X86 COMPATIBLE CPUs:
We have forced build system to throw an error, if you're trying to build 64-bit engine. This done for keeping compatibility with Steam releases of Half-Life and based on it's engine games.
2019-02-23 11:46:03 +01:00
Even if Xash3D FWGS does support targetting 64-bit, you can't load games without recompiling them from source code!
2018-12-13 07:17:11 +01:00
##### Debian/Ubuntu
* Enable i386 on your system, if you're compiling 32-bit engine on amd64. If not, skip this
2019-06-17 08:09:15 +02:00
`$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`
* Install development tools
2020-02-24 23:43:45 +01:00
* For 32-bit engine on amd64: \
`$ sudo apt install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib python libsdl2-dev:i386 libfontconfig-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386`
2020-02-24 23:43:45 +01:00
* For everything else: \
`$ sudo apt install build-essential python libsdl2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev`
* Clone this repostory:
2019-06-17 08:09:15 +02:00
`$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`

### Building
#### Windows(Visual Studio)
0) Open command line
1) Navigate to `xash3d-fwgs` directory.
2) Carefully examine which build options are available: `waf --help`
3) Configure build: `waf configure -T release --sdl2=c:/path/to/SDL2 --prefix=c:/path/to/any/output/directory`
2018-11-05 00:06:08 +01:00
4) Compile: `waf build`
2018-12-13 07:17:11 +01:00
5) Install: `waf install`
#### Linux
0) Examine which build options are available: `./waf --help`
1) Configure build: `./waf configure -T release --prefix=/path/to/any/output/directory`
2019-07-07 01:46:16 +02:00
(To compile 64-bit engine on 64-bit x86 processor, you need to pass `-8` also)
2018-12-13 07:17:11 +01:00
2) Compile: `./waf build`
3) Install(optional): `./waf install`
2018-11-05 00:06:08 +01:00
## Running
2018-12-13 07:23:21 +01:00
0) Copy libraries and main executable somewhere, if you're skipped installation stage.
1) Copy game files to same directory
2) Run `xash3d.exe`/`xash3d.sh`/`xash3d` depending on which platform you're using.
2018-11-05 00:06:08 +01:00
For additional info, run Xash3D with `-help` command line key.
