Building from Source WIP

Dependencies

• https://github.com/glfw/glfw
• https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie

---

Linux

Pull down git submodules

• git init submodules
• git submodule update

Build soloud using GENie and gmake

• cd soloud/build
• genie gmake
• cd gmake; make

Build locally

• cd ../../../
• make build

(Optional) Install

• sudo make install

Which can be undone with

• sudo make remove

• I assume you have installed the following packages from apt or equivalent from other package managers libglfw3-dev libglfw3

---

Windows

Building on Windows requires Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 for MSVC. The build process is nearly identical.

Acquire glfw3 ( install in this repository )

• nuget install glfw ( or equivalent )

Open a `Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt and build using the windows makefile

• sudo make --makefile=Makefile.windows

• if you don't have gmake I recommend installing it with chocolately

• choco install gmake2

Note, you need to add this to your path
