2 Building AnKi

OS	Master Branch Build Status
Linux
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 2.8 and up
• GCC 5.0 and up or Clang 3.7 and up
• libx11-dev installed
• libxrandr-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 2.8 and up
  • Make sure you add cmake.exe to your PATH environment variable (The installer asks, press yes)
• MinGW-w64 5.0 and up
  • MinGW has many variants. You need the POSIX version plus SEH (eg x86_64-posix-seh)
  • Install to a path without spaces (eg C:/mingw-w64)
  • Append the path where mingw's binaries are located (eg C:/mingw-w64/bin) to the PATH environment variable

To build the release version open PowerShell and type:

$cd path/to/anki
$mkdir build
$cd build
$cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$mingw32-make

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

3 Next steps

Try to build with samples enabled (search for the ANKI_BUILD_SAMPLES=ON option in your CMake GUI) and try running the sponza executable. Then you will be able to see sponza running in AnKi. All samples must run from within their directory.

$cd path/to/anki/samples/sponza
$./path/to/build/bin/sponza

More samples will follow.
