Building 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.

On Linux

Prerequisites:

• Cmake 2.8 and up
• GCC 4.8 and up or Clang 3.7 and up
• libx11-dev installed
• [Optional] libxinerama-dev if you want proper multi-monitor support

To build the release version:

$cd path/to/anki
$cd mkdir build
$cd ./build
$cmake ..
$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.

On Windows

Prerequisites:

• CMake 2.8 and up
• Mingw-w64 4.8 and up
  • Install to a path without spaces
  • Append the path where mingw's binaries are located (eg C:/mingw-w64/x86_64-4.9.3-win32-seh-rt_v4-rev1/mingw64/bin) to the PATH environment variable

To build the release version:

• Open CMake GUI tool
  • Point the source directory to where AnKi's CMakeLists.txt is located
  • Select a build directory (eg path/to/anki/build)
  • Configure by selecting mingw makefiles
  • Generate the makefiles
• Open a PowerShell
  • Navigate to where the build directory is located
  • Invoke the mingw's make: mingw32-make

NOTE: If you have a better way to build on Windows please let us know.

NOTE 2: The Windows build tends to break often since Windows is not the primary development platform. Please report any bugs.

Next steps

Try to build with samples enabled (see the relevant option in your CMake GUI, ANKI_BUILD_SAMPLES) and try running the simple_scene executable. All samples must run from within the samples directory.

$cd path/to/anki/samples
$./path/to/build/samples/simple_scene/simple_scene

More samples will follow.
