Building

Linux

1. Install the following dependencies and tools:

   • git
   • cmake
   • g++
   • xorg-dev (needed to build GLFW)
   • zenity

2. cd into the directory above where you want Ripped Apart to live e.g. cd ~/programs.

3. Download the source code and additional dependencies using Git:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/chaoticgd/ripped_apart

4. cd into the newly created directory:

   cd ripped_apart

5. Build it with cmake:

   cmake . -B build/ && cmake --build build/ -j 8

   (in the above example 8 threads are used)

Windows

1. Install the following tools:

   • git
   • Visual Studio (with desktop C++/cmake support)

2. Open a Visual Studio developer command prompt.

3. cd into the directory above where you want Ripped Apart to live e.g. cd c:\programs.

4. Download the source code and dependencies using Git:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/chaoticgd/ripped_apart

5. cd into the newly created directory:

   cd ripped_apart

6. Generate cmake files:

   cmake . -B build/

   This should generate ripped_apart.sln along with a few .vcxproj files. In case no such files are generated, you can explicitly specify usage of the Visual Studio generator by running the following command:

   cmake . -G "Visual Studio X YYYY"

   where X is the Visual Studio version and YYYY is the Visual Studio year (example: Visual Studio 16 2019) A complete list can be obtained by running cmake --help.

7. (Option A) Build the project from the command line:

   cmake --build build/ --config BUILD_TYPE

   where BUILD_TYPE is one of Debug (very slow - not recommended), Release (no symbols - not recommended), RelWithDebInfo (recommended) or MinSizeRel.

   (Option B) Build the project from Visual Studio:

   Open the newly generated ripped_apart.sln in Visual Studio. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on ripped_apart and click Set as Startup Project. You should now be able to build and debug Ripped Apart using the toolbar controls and all Visual Studio features.

Executable files will be written out into the bin directory.
