Building Luna yourself (Linux and macOS)

Building Luna

• You can install libsfml-dev in some distributions like Debian/Ubuntu in order not to build SFML yourself

• Debug build: make d

• Release build: make r

• Standalone build: make s

  • Standalone is the same as release but the resources folder must be in the same directory as the executable itself, this is useful for portable installations

Building Lua

1. Make sure you have curl and libreadline-dev installed in your system
2. Open a terminal in the scripts folder
3. chmod +x the script called lua_setup.sh
4. Execute the script ./lua_setup.sh

Building SFML

• Refer to SFML and Linux
