Build Instructions

Windows x86.

Prerequisites

Install and run Visual Studio Installer. The installer allows you to choose specific components. Select Desktop development with C++. You can untick everything you don't need in Installation details, but you must keep MSVC ticked. You may also keep C++ CMake tools for Windows ticked as you'll need cmake. Alternatively you can install cmake from the cmake.org and during installation tick Add to the PATH....

Opening command prompt

If cmake was installed with Visual Studio Installer, you'll need to run Developer command prompt for VS via Windows Start menu. If cmake was installed with cmake installer, you can run the regular Windows cmd.

Inside the prompt navigate to the hlsdk directory, using cd command, e.g.

cd C:\Users\username\projects\Client-Mod

Note: if Client-Mod is unpacked on another disk, nagivate there first:

D:
cd projects\Client-Mod

Building

Сonfigure the project:

cmake -A Win32 -B build

Note that you must repeat the configuration step if you modify CMakeLists.txt files or want to reconfigure the project with different parameters.

The next step is to compile the libraries:

cmake --build build --config Release

hl.dll and client.dll will appear in the build/dlls/Release and build/cl_dll/Release directories.

If you have a mod and want to automatically install libraries to the mod directory, set GAMEDIR variable to the directory name and CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to your Half-Life or Xash3D installation path:

cmake -A Win32 -B build -DGAMEDIR=mod -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life"

Then call cmake with --target install parameter:

cmake --build build --config Release --target install

Choosing Visual Studio version

You can explicitly choose a Visual Studio version on the configuration step by specifying cmake generator:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -B build

Editing code in Visual Studio

After the configuration step, CLIENT-MOD.sln should appear in the build directory. You can open this solution in Visual Studio and continue developing there.

Linux x86

Prerequisites

Install C++ compilers, cmake and x86 development libraries for C, C++ and SDL2. On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install cmake build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib libsdl2-dev:i386

Building

cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build

Note that the libraries built this way might be not compatible with Steam Half-Life. If you have such issue you can configure it to build statically with c++ and gcc libraries:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc"

Linux x86. Build in your own chroot

Prerequisites

Use the most suitable way for you to create an old distro 32-bit chroot. E.g. on Ubuntu/Debian you can use debootstrap.

sudo apt install debootstrap schroot
sudo mkdir -p /var/choots
sudo debootstrap --arch=i386 jessie /var/chroots/jessie-i386 # On Ubuntu type trusty instead of jessie
sudo chroot /var/chroots/jessie-i386

# inside chroot
apt install cmake build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib libsdl2-dev
exit

Create and adapt the following config in /etc/schroot/chroot.d/jessie.conf (you can choose a different name):

[jessie]
type=directory
description=Debian jessie i386
directory=/var/chroots/jessie-i386/
users=yourusername
groups=adm
root-groups=root
preserve-environment=true
personality=linux32

Insert your actual user name in place of yourusername.

Building

Prepend any make or cmake call with schroot -c jessie --:

schroot --chroot jessie -- cmake -B build-in-chroot -S .
schroot --chroot jessie -- cmake --build build-in-chroot

Android

TODO

Nintendo Switch

Prerequisites

  1. Set up dkp-pacman.
  2. Install dependency packages:
sudo dkp-pacman -S switch-dev dkp-toolchain-vars switch-mesa switch-libdrm_nouveau switch-sdl2
  1. Make sure the DEVKITPRO environment variable is set to the devkitPro SDK root:
export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
  1. Install libsolder:
source $DEVKITPRO/switchvars.sh
git clone https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/libsolder.git
make -C libsolder install

Building using CMake

mkdir build && cd build
aarch64-none-elf-cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_PROJECT_CLIENT-MOD_INCLUDE="$DEVKITPRO/portlibs/switch/share/SolderShim.cmake" ..
make -j

PlayStation Vita

Prerequisites

  1. Set up VitaSDK.
  2. Install vita-rtld: 
    git clone https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/vita-rtld.git && cd vita-rtld
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j2 install

Building with CMake:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$VITASDK/share/vita.toolchain.cmake" -DCMAKE_PROJECT_CLIENT-MOD_INCLUDE="$VITASDK/share/vrtld_shim.cmake" ..
make -j

Other platforms

Building on other architectures (e.g x86_64 or arm) and POSIX-compliant OSes (e.g. FreeBSD) is supported.

Prerequisites

Install C and C++ compilers (like gcc or clang), cmake and make.

Building

cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build

Build options

Some useful build options that can be set during the cmake step.

  • GOLDSOURCE_SUPPORT - allows to turn off/on the support for GoldSource input. Set to ON by default on Windows and Linux, OFF on other platforms.
  • USE_VGUI - whether to use VGUI library. OFF by default. You need to init vgui_support submodule in order to build with VGUI.

This list is incomplete. Look at CMakeLists.txt to see all available options.

Prepend option names with -D when passing to cmake. Boolean options can take values OFF and ON. Example:

cmake .. -DUSE_VGUI=ON -DGOLDSOURCE_SUPPORT=ON -DCROWBAR_IDLE_ANIM=ON -DCROWBAR_FIX_RAPID_CROWBAR=ON
