Building Abuse

Prerequists

All Platforms

Windows

  • Visual Studio 2013 (maybe earlier versions, haven't tried)
  • CMake 2.8.11 or later for the WIX installer (tested with 3.0)

Mac OS X

Mac OS X should have most of the stuff you need already. The easiest method for getting CMake and SDL/SDL_mixer is probably using Homebrew.

brew install cmake
brew install sdl
brew install sdl_mixer

Compiling

  1. Clone this repository.

    git clone https://github.com/Xenoveritas/abuse.git

  2. Create a new directory for the build. CMake likes to build into directories outside the source directory and its best not to fight it on this.

    Within that directory, run CMake.

    In order to get a build that includes all the data, you'll want to specify an install directory. All told, you might setup doing something like:

    mkdir abuse
cd abuse
git clone https://github.com/Xenoveritas/abuse.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=../final-binary ../abuse

    Under Windows, this will probably fail because it can't find the SDL2 or SDL2_mixer libraries. Two solutions to this:

    1. Run cmake-gui and provide the paths that way
    2. Set SDL2DIR and SDL2MIXERDIR to point to where you extracted the Windows VC devel binaries for each library

  3. Build the files

    Under Linux and Mac OS X, this is the familiar make.

    Under Windows, you'll want to use MSBuild abuse.sln. (Alternatively, open the solution in Visual Studio and build it that way.)

  4. Install the files

    Note that you can skip this step if you're planning on building an installer. This is simply make install or building INSTALL.vcxproj under Windows. (Again, either MSBuild INSTALL.vcxproj or just build it directly within Visual Studio.)

Installers (Packages)

The CMake package includes some CPack stuff to enable building installers. Under Windows, this will attempt to create a WIX installer and a ZIP file. Under Mac OS X, it attempts to create a DMG and TGZ.

To build them under Linux and Mac OS X, it's just make package.

Under Windows, build PROJECT.vcxproj.
