#Disclaimer

WARNING: CMake build is NOT official and should be used for dev purposes ONLY.

For official way to build CataclysmDDA See:

#Contents

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Build Environment * UNIX Environment * Windows Environment
  3. CMake Build * MinGW,MSYS,MSYS2
  4. Build Options * CMake specific options * CataclysmDDA specific options

#1. Prerequisites

You'll need to have these libraries and their development headers installed in order to build CataclysmDDA:

  • General
    • cmake >= 3.0.0
    • gcc-libs
    • glibc
    • zlib
    • bzip2
  • Optional
    • gettext
  • Curses
    • ncurses
  • Tiles
    • SDL >= 2.0.0
    • SDL_image >= 2.0.0 (with PNG and JPEG support)
    • SDL_mixer >= 2.0.0 (with Ogg Vorbis support)
    • SDL_ttf >= 2.0.0
    • freetype
  • Sound
    • vorbis
    • libbz2
    • libz
    • libintl
    • iconv

#2. Build Environment

You can obtain the source code tarball for the latest version from git.

UNIX Environment

Obtain packages specified above with your system package manager.

Windows Environment (MSYS2)

  1. Follow steps from here: https://msys2.github.io/
  2. Install CataclysmDDA build deps:
   pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain msys/git \
   	  mingw-w64-i686-cmake \
   	  mingw-w64-i686-SDL2_{image,mixer,ttf} \
   	  ncurses-devel \
   	  gettext-devel

This should get your environment set up to build console and tiles version of windows.

NOTE: This is only for 32bit builds. 64bit requires the x86_64 instead of the i686 packages listed above:

   pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain msys/git \
   	  mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
   	  mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_{image,mixer,ttf} \
   	  ncurses-devel \
   	  gettext-devel

NOTE: If you're trying to test with Jetbrains CLion, point to the cmake version in the msys32/mingw32 path instead of using the built in. This will let cmake detect the installed packages.

CMake Build

CMake has separate configuration and build steps. Configuration is done using CMake itself, and the actual build is done using either make (for Makefiles generator) or build-system agnostic cmake --build . .

There are two ways to build CataclysmDDA with CMake: inside the source tree or outside of it. Out-of-source builds have the advantage that you can have multiple builds with different options from one source directory.

WARNING: Inside the source tree build is NOT supported.

To build CataclysmDDA out of source:

   $ mkdir build && cd build
   $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   $ make

The above example creates a build directory inside the source directory, but that's not required - you can just as easily create it in a completely different location.

To install CataclysmDDA after building (as root using su or sudo if necessary):

   # make install

To change build options, you can either pass the options on the command line:

   $ cmake .. -DOPTION_NAME=option_value

Or use either the ccmake or cmake-gui front-ends, which display all options and their cached values on a console and graphical UI, respectively.

   $ ccmake ..
   $ cmake-gui ..

CMake Build for MSYS2 (MinGW)

NOTE: For development purposes it is preferred to use MinGW Win64 Shell or MinGW Win32 Shell instead of MSYS2 Shell. In other case, you will need to set PATH variable manually.

For Mingw,MSYS,MSYS2 you should set Makefiles generator to "MSYS Makefiles". Setting it to "MinGW Makefiles" might work as well, but might also require additional hackery.

Example:

   $ cd <Path-to-CataclysmDDA-Sources>
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
   $ cmake .. -G "MSYS Makefiles"
   $ make  # or $ cmake --build .

The resulting binary will be placed inside the source code directory.

Shared libraries:

If you got libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll not found error you need to copy shared libraries to directory with CataclysmDDA executables.

NOTE: For -DRELEASE=OFF development builds, You can automate copy process with:

   $ make install

However, it likely will fail b/c you have different build environment setup :)

CMake Build for Visual Studio / MSBuild

CMake can generate .sln and .vcxproj files used either by Visual Studio itself or by MSBuild command line compiler (if you don't want a full fledged IDE) and have more "native" binaries than what MSYS/Cygwin can provide.

At the moment only a limited combination of options is supported (tiles only, no localizations, no backtrace).

Get the tools:

Get the required libraries:

Unpack the archives with the libraries.

Open windows command line (or powershell), set the environment variables to point to the libs above as follows (adjusting the paths as appropriate):

  > set SDL2DIR=C:\path\to\SDL2-devel-2.0.9-VC
  > set SDL2TTFDIR=C:\path\to\SDL2_ttf-devel-2.0.15-VC
  > set SDL2IMAGEDIR=C:\path\to\SDL2_image-devel-2.0.4-VC
  > set SDL2MIXERDIR=C:\path\to\SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.4-VC

(for powershell the syntax is $env:SDL2DIR="C:\path\to\SDL2-devel-2.0.9-VC").

Make a build directory and run cmake configuration step

  > cd <path to cdda sources>
  > mkdir build
  > cd build
  > cmake .. -DTILES=ON -DLOCALIZE=OFF -DBACKTRACE=OFF -DSOUND=ON

Build!

  > cmake --build . -j 2 -- /p:Configuration=Release

The -j 2 flag controls build parallelism - you can omit it if you wish. The /p:Configuration=Release flag is passed directly to MSBuild and controls optimizations. If you omit it, the Debug configuration would be built instead. For powershell you'll need to have an extra -- after the first one.

The resulting files will be put into a Release directory inside your source Cataclysm-DDA folder. To make them run you'd need to first move them to the source Cataclysm-DDA directory itself (so that the binary has access to the game data), and second put the required .dlls into the same folder - you can find those inside the directories for dev libraries under lib/x86/ or lib/x64/ (you likely need the x86 ones even if you're on 64-bit machine).

The copying of dlls is a one-time task, but you'd need to move the binary out of Release/ each time it's built. To automate it a bit, you can configure cmake and set the desired binaries destination directory with -DCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELEASE= option (and similar for CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG).

Run the game. Should work.

Build Options

A full list of options supported by CMake, you may either run the ccmake or cmake-gui front-ends, or run cmake and open the generated CMakeCache.txt from the build directory in a text editor.

   $ cmake -DOPTION_NAME1=option_value1 [-DOPTION_NAME2=option_value2 [...]]

CMake specific options

  • CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<build type>

Selects a specific build configuration when compiling. release produces the default, optimized (-Os) build for regular use. debug produces a slower and larger unoptimized (-O0) build with full debug symbols, which is often needed for obtaining detailed backtraces when reporting bugs.

NOTE: By default, CMake will produce debug builds unless a different configuration option is passed in the command line.

  • CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<full path>

Installation prefix for binaries, resources, and documentation files.

CataclysmDDA specific options

  • CURSES=<boolean>

Build curses version.

  • TILES=<boolean>

Build graphical tileset version.

  • SOUND=<boolean>

Support for in-game sounds & music.

  • USE_HOME_DIR=<boolean>

Use user's home directory for save files.

  • LOCALIZE=<boolean>

Support for language localizations. Also enable UTF support.

  • DYNAMIC_LINKING=<boolean>

Use dynamic linking. Or use static to remove MinGW dependency instead.

  • LANGUAGES=<str>

Compile localization files for specified languages. Example:

-DLANGUAGES="cs;de;el;es_AR;es_ES"
  • GIT_BINARY=<str>

Override default Git binary name or path.

So a CMake command for building Cataclysm-DDA in release mode with tiles and sound support will look as follows, provided it is run in build directory located in the project.

cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTILES=ON -DSOUND=ON
