## 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](https://python.org) **OR** run `cinst python.install` if you have Chocolatey.
|
|
* Install latest [Git](https://git-scm.com/download/win) **OR** run `cinst git.install` if you have Chocolatey.
|
|
* Download [SDL2](https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) development package for Visual Studio.
|
|
* Clone this repository: `git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
|
|
Even if Xash3D FWGS does support targetting 64-bit, you can't load games without recompiling them from source code!
|
|
|
|
##### Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
* Enable i386 on your system, if you're compiling 32-bit engine on amd64. If not, skip this
|
|
|
|
`$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`
|
|
* Install development tools
|
|
* 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`
|
|
* For everything else:
|
|
|
|
`$ sudo apt install build-essential python libsdl2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev`
|
|
* Clone this repostory:
|
|
`$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`
|
|
|
|
#### ArchLinux
|
|
* ArchLinux users are lucky enough and there is a `xash3d-git` AUR package for them.
|
|
|

### 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`
|
|
4) Compile: `waf build`
|
|
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`
|
|
(To compile 64-bit engine on 64-bit x86 processor, you need to pass `-8` also)
|
|
2) Compile: `./waf build`
|
|
3) Install(optional): `./waf install`
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For additional info, run Xash3D with `-help` command line key.
