Manual build instructions

Install CMake

Project can be build for Windows platform. For Linux and macOS it’s NOT well-developed yet and some features and systems may not be stable.
Project uses CMake to generate solution file for Visual Studio environment. You can also use CLion IDE environment for generating and building this project. You have to make sure that you have a working cmake-installation on your system. You can download it here https://cmake.org/

Get the source

Make sure you have a working git-installation. Open a command prompt and clone the WizardEngine project via:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CheerWizard/WizardEngine

IMPORTANT: Make sure you are cloning repo recursively with “–recursive” keyword. Otherwise, it won’t fetch all dependencies and as a result - build process will fail!

Build from source:

cd WizardEngine
cmake CMakeLists.txt 
cmake --build .

Build instructions for Windows with Visual Studio

First you have to install Visual Studio on your Windows system. You can get the Community Version for free here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/downloads/

To generate the build environment for your IDE open a command prompt, navigate to your repo and type:

cmake CMakeLists.txt

This will generate the project files for the visual studio. All dependencies used to build WizardEngine shall be part of the repo.

Build instructions for Windows with CLion IDEA
