Type MAKE.bat (Win) or sh MAKE.bat (Linux/OSX) to build everything. Alternatively,
cl demo.c fwk.c && echo Windows (vc+tcc)
gcc demo.c fwk.c -o demo -w -lws2_32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -ldbghelp -std=c99 && echo Windows (mingw64)
cc demo.c fwk.c -o demo -w -lm -ldl -lpthread && echo Linux (gcc+clang+tcc)
cc demo.c -ObjC fwk.c -o demo -w -framework cocoa -framework iokit && echo OSX (gcc+clang)- Note: TCC is partially supported on Windows+Linux. Beware, no threading.
- Split
fwk.hinto separate files by runningart/tools/split.bat(orsh art/tools/split.batin Linux/OSX). - Merge those files back into
fwk.hby runningart/tools/join.bat(orsh art/tools/join.batin Linux/OSX). - Optionally, generate a single-header distribution by executing following script:
type fwk.h > fwk-single-header.h
echo #ifdef FWK_C >> fwk-single-header.h
echo #pragma once >> fwk-single-header.h
type fwk.c >> fwk-single-header.h
echo #endif // FWK_C >> fwk-single-header.h
- Dropped files into game window will be saved in
art/importfolder. - Linux/OSX users can optionally install wine to use the Windows pipeline as an alternate asset pipeline.
