Building on Linux

For pre-requisite packages, check deps.txt

If your distribution does not provide ReactPhysics3D, you will have to build (and install) it yourself prior to this step

Use the following to generate the build files:

cmake -Bbuild .

Then build the project using:

cmake --build build

Building on Windows

The project will be built using VCPKG and MSVC

You will have to build and install ReactPhysics3D yourself. Check the build instructions on ReactPhysics3D for help

To start, clone the repository:

git clone https://git.maelstrom.dev/maelstrom/openblocks

Then, launch the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022, and cd into the directory that you cloned the project into

Once in the directory, add Qt to the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable (for instance, if you install Qt to C:\Qt\6.8.3):

set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\Qt\6.8.3\msvc2022_64

Now, generate the build files with cmake via the vcpkg preset:

cmake -Bbuild . --preset vcpkg

Then, finally, build in release mode:

cmake --build build --config Release

The compiled binaries should then be placed in ./build/bin/ and should be ready for redistribution without any further work.

If any of the compilation steps fail, or the binaries fail to execute, please create an issue so that this can be corrected.
