Build instructions
We are using Waf build system. If you have some Waf-related questions, I recommend you to read https://waf.io/book/
If you're stuck somewhere and you need a clear example, read .travis.yml and scripts/build*.sh.
Prerequisites
Windows(Visual Studio)
- Install Visual Studio.
- Install latest Python OR run
cinst python.installif you have Chocolatey. - Install latest Git OR run
cinst git.installif you have Chocolatey. - Download SDL2 development package for Visual Studio.
- Clone this repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs. - Clone
vgui-devrepository:git clone https://github.com/FWGS/vgui-dev. - Make sure you have at least 12GB of free space to store all build-time dependencies: ~10GB for Visual Studio, 300 MB for Git, 100 MB for Python and other.
Linux
NOTE: Make sure you're OK with targetting 32-bit.
Even if Xash3D FWGS does support targetting 64-bit, you can't load games without recompiling them from source code!
- Gentoo: TODO
- Debian: TODO
- ArchLinux:
<AUR Helper> -S xash3d-git
Building
Windows(Visual Studio)
- Open command line
- Navigate to
xash3d-fwgsdirectory. - Carefully examine which build options are available:
waf --help - Configure build:
waf configure --build-type=release --sdl2=c:/path/to/SDL2 --vgui=c:/path/to/vgui-dev --prefix=c:/path/to/any/output/directory - Compile:
waf build - Install:
waf install
Linux
- Examine which build options are available:
./waf --help - Configure build:
./waf configure --build-type=release --vgui=vgui-dev - Compile:
./waf build - Install(optional):
./waf install
Running
- Copy libraries and main executable somewhere, if you're skipped installation stage.
- Copy game files to same directory
- Run
xash3d.exe/xash3d.sh/xash3ddepending on which platform you're using.
For additional info, run Xash3D with -help command line key.
