Windows

MSYS2 / MinGW-w64

Set up MSYS2 and install the following in a MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell:

pacman -Syu --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc \
mingw-w64-x86_64-freetype mingw-w64-x86_64-libvorbis mingw-w64-x86_64-libwebp \
mingw-w64-x86_64-dlfcn mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake make mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb \
mingw-w64-x86_64-libtheora mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2

Visual Studio 2017 or newer

cmake -Bbuild -DFETCHCONTENT_QUIET=0

and then open build/jngl.sln.

Mac

Use Homebrew to install the build dependencies:

brew install sdl2 freetype libvorbis webp pkg-config cmake

Android

Install the Android SDK and let ANDROID_HOME point to it. In the Android SDK Manager install the NDK build tools. Type the following to run the test app via ADB:

make -C android run

You can also open the android/test folder in Android Studio and build from there.

iOS

Generate a Xcode project using CMake:

cmake -Bbuild-ios -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/iOS.toolchain.cmake -DIOS_PLATFORM=SIMULATOR

Open and build build-ios/jngl.xcodeproj in Xcode.

Xbox

cmake -Bbuild-uwp -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore "-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0"

and then open build-uwp/jngl.sln.
