Build the solution/make files

• Initially, and whenever you change the branch, or the premake5.lua file, (re)run premake

• make sure you have the repository - see gettingTheSource

  • make sure you are in the master branch, or have checked out the branch you want - see checking out an example branch

  • make sure your branch is up to date - run git pull

• from the root of the repository

Create the project files

Windows

./premake5.bat %ACTION% # (1) (2) (3)

Linux, OS X

./premake5 $ACTION # (1) (2) (3)

1. replace ACTION with the tool you wish to use - e.g. vs2015 or gmake

2. uses the project specification given in the premake5.lua file. Have a look at it if you’re interested.

3. try premake5 --help for the options

Build your project

Visual Studio

1. Load the .sln file

2. Build and run the project you wish to explore - kbd:[F5]

   • if there are multiple projects, btn:[right-click] and select make active project to make that project build/run by default

   • you can set the project to debug or release mode in the UI

Make

make $EXAMPLE # (1) (2) (3) (4)
./src/$EXAMPLE/$EXAMPLE-debug # (5)

1. replace EXAMPLE with the example you wish to run

2. compile and link project EXAMPLE.

3. running just make will build all projects

4. use make $EXAMPLE config=release to build for release mode

5. run EXAMPLE. Strip off -debug for release builds
