Build instructions with Bash Scripts

In the projectGenerator scripts folder run the scripts in order to setup environment and build

Visual Studio 2022

projectGenerator\scripts\vs\setup_environment.sh (first time)

projectGenerator\scripts\vs\build_cmdline.sh

  • (build projectGenerator commandLine requires openFrameworks in directories above / or run from correct sub-module location)

projectGenerator\scripts\vs\build_frontend.sh (Builds Electron App GUI Project Generator)

  • requires commandLine.exe in folder.
  • If cannot build commandLine.exe download from releases and run just this

projectGenerator\scripts\vs\build_dev_frontend.sh

  • (Builds Electron App GUI Project Generator in DEBUG mode / Verbose and will autorun the test build)

macOS / osx

projectGenerator\scripts\osx\setup_environment.sh (first time)

projectGenerator\scripts\vs\build_cmdline.sh

  • (build projectGenerator commandLine requires openFrameworks in directories above / or run from correct sub-module location)

projectGenerator\scripts\vs\build_frontend.sh (Builds Electron App GUI Project Generator)

  • requires commandLine.exe in folder.
  • If cannot build commandLine.exe download from releases and run just this

Linux

projectGenerator\scripts\linux\setup_environment.sh (first time)

projectGenerator\scripts\linux\buildPG.sh

LEGAGY BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ----- (more detail)


Clone OF ( skip if already cloned )

git clone git@github.com:openframeworks/openFrameworks.git --depth=1

Init / update submodules

cd openFrameworks
git submodule init
git submodule update

Install libs ( replace with platform )

./scripts/osx/download_libs.sh

Build the projectGenerator ( can also use project file )

cd apps/projectGenerator/commandLine/

# for linux do:
make Release
cp bin/projectGenerator ../frontend/app/

# for windows do:
msbuild commandLine.vcxproj /p:configuration=release /p:platform=${{ matrix.platform }} /p:PlatformToolset=v143
cp commandLine.exe ../frontend/app/projectGenerator.exe

# for macos 
xcodebuild -configuration Release -target commandLine CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" -project commandLine.xcodeproj
cp bin/projectGenerator ../frontend/app/

On macOS, if you get this error:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

It's probably because your Command Line Tools were installed via Home Brew or some other mechanism. You need to re-select the whole Xcode install by executing:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Build the frontend electron app

Note: see the more detailed guide include node install in the frontend ReadMe

cd ../frontend
npm install 
npm update

# to run the app without packaging it 
npm start

# to package the pg app as a standalone
npm run build:macos
