Building from source

Linux

Make sure you have gcc and g++ installed, then do:

make

If you get errors, you may also need to install additional dev packages, such as as libgl1-mesa-dev (for OpenGL headers) or libasound2-dev (for audio support in SDL).

OSX

Install the command line developer tools (clang, clang++), then do:

make

Windows

You will need to install MinGW and MSYS as well as a Microsoft Visual C compiler.

You will need to create your own version of msys.bat with something like the following at the top:

call "%VS120COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat" >NUL:

(VS120COMNTOOLS may be different depending on which version of Visual Studio you're using.)

This sets up the Visual Studio command line environment.

Then, from the msys shell, do:

make

Cross compiling

It's also possible to cross-compile to various platforms (e.g. HTML5, iOS, MinGW). See the files .travis.yml, scripts/appveyor.bat and scripts/travis.sh for examples of how to do this.
