  5. Requirements
  6. ------------
  7. For compiling under Linux or other Unix variants, the following is
  8. required:
  9. - GCC < 6 or Clang (**warning:** see note below regarding GCC 6).
  10. - Python 2.7+ (3.0 is untested as of now)
  11. - SCons build system
  12. - pkg-config (used to detect the dependencies below)
  13. - X11, Xcursor, Xinerama and XRandR development libraries
  14. - MesaGL development libraries
  15. - ALSA development libraries
  16. - PulseAudio development libraries (for sound support)
  17. - Freetype (for the editor)
  18. - OpenSSL (for HTTPS and TLS)
  19. - libudev-dev (optional, for gamepad support)
  20. Known issues with GCC 6
  21. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  22. There are known optimisation issues when using GCC 6 (both to compile for X11 and to cross-compile for Windows with MinGW). Until those issues are fixed in Godot's source, or the compiler is made more forgiving again, it is advised not to use GCC 6 to compile Godot as release builds will trigger crashes.
  23. If your distribution provides GCC 6 by default (e.g. Arch or Ubuntu 16.10), you may have to install an older version or Clang (both should be provided in the repositories). You can then force the use of another compiler version via the `CC` and `CXX` scons arguments (e.g. `scons p=x11 CC=gcc-5 CXX=g++-5` if your distribution provides those binaries in its PATH). You can also use `llvm=yes` instead to force the usage of Clang over GCC.

  59. Compiling
  60. ---------
  61. Start a terminal, go to the root dir of the engine source code and type:
  62. ::
  63. user@host:~/godot$ scons platform=x11
  64. If all goes well, the resulting binary executable will be placed in the
  65. "bin" subdirectory. This executable file contains the whole engine and
  66. runs without any dependencies. Executing it will bring up the project
  67. manager.
  68. If you wish to compile using Clang rather than GCC, use this command:
  69. ::
  70. user@host:~/godot$ scons platform=x11 use_llvm=yes
  71. Building export templates
  72. -------------------------
  73. To build X11 (Linux, \*BSD) export templates, run the build system with the
  74. following parameters:
  75. - (32 bits)
  76. ::
  77. user@host:~/godot$ scons platform=x11 tools=no target=release bits=32
  78. user@host:~/godot$ scons platform=x11 tools=no target=release_debug bits=32
  79. - (64 bits)
  80. ::
  81. user@host:~/godot$ scons platform=x11 tools=no target=release bits=64
  82. user@host:~/godot$ scons platform=x11 tools=no target=release_debug bits=64
  83. Note that cross compiling for the opposite bits (64/32) as your host
  84. platform is not always straight-forward and might need a chroot environment.
  85. To create standard export templates, the resulting files must be copied to:
  86. ::
  87. /home/youruser/.godot/templates
  88. and named like this (even for \*BSD which is seen as "Linux X11" by Godot):
  89. ::
  90. linux_x11_32_debug
  91. linux_x11_32_release
  92. linux_x11_64_debug
  93. linux_x11_64_release
  94. However, if you are writing your custom modules or custom C++ code, you
  95. might instead want to configure your binaries as custom export templates
  96. here:
  97. .. image:: /img/lintemplates.png
  98. You don't even need to copy them, you can just reference the resulting
  99. files in the bin/ directory of your Godot source folder, so the next
  100. time you build you automatically have the custom templates referenced.
