2 Building AnKi

Build Status, Linux and Windows

To checkout the source including the submodules type:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/godlikepanos/anki-3d-engine.git anki

AnKi's build system is using CMake. A great effort was made to ease the building process that's why the number of external dependencies are almost none.

2.1 On Linux

Prerequisites:

• Cmake 3.0 and up
• GCC 5.0 and up or Clang 6.0 and up
• libx11-dev installed
• libxrandr-dev installed
• libx11-xcb-dev installed
• [Optional] libxinerama-dev if you want proper multi-monitor support

To build the release version:

$cd path/to/anki
$mkdir build
$cd ./build
$cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$make

To view and configure the build options you can use ccmake tool or other similar tool:

$cd path/to/anki/build
$ccmake .

This will open an interface with all the available options.

2.2 On Windows

Prerequisites:

• Cmake 3.0 and up
• VulkanSDK version 1.1.x and up
  • Add an environment variable named VULKAN_SDK that points to the installation path of VulkanSDK
• Python 3.0 and up
  • Make sure that the python executable's location is in PATH environment variable
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and up
  • Make sure that Windows 10 SDK (xxx) for Desktop C++ [x86 and x64] component is installed

To build the release version open PowerShell and type:

$cd path/to/anki
$mkdir build
$cd build
$cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$cmake --build . --config Release

Alternatively, recent Visual Studio versions support building CMake projects from inside the IDE:

• Open Visual Studio
• Choose the "open a local folder" option and open AnKi's root directory (where this README.md is located)
• Visual Studio will automatically understand that AnKi is a CMake project and it will populate the CMake cache
• Press "build all"

3 Next steps

This code repository contains 4 sample projects that are built by default (ANKI_BUILD_SAMPLES CMake option):

• sponza: The Crytek's Sponza scene
• simple_scene: A simple scene
• physics_playground: A scene with programmer's art and some physics interactions
• skeletal_animation: A simple scene with an animated skin

You can try running them and interacting with them. To run sponza, for example, execute the binary from any working directory.

On Linux:

$./path/to/build/bin/sponza

On Windows just find the sponza.exe and execute it. It's preferable to run the samples from a terminal because that prints some information, including possible errors.
