Building

Prerequisites

Premake 4.4 beta4
http://industriousone.com/premake/download

GNU make
Windows users download GNU make utility from:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm

Getting source

git clone git://github.com/bkaradzic/bx.git
git clone git://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx.git
cd bgfx
make

After calling make, .build/projects/* directory will be generated. All intermediate files generated by compiler will be inside .build directory structure. Deleting .build directory at any time is safe.

Building for Windows

When building on Windows, you have to set DXSDK_DIR environment variable to point to DirectX SDK directory.

setx DXSDK_DIR <path to DirectX SDK directory>

If you're building with MinGW/TDM compiler on Windows make DirectX SDK directory link to directory without spaces in the path.

mklink /D <path to DirectX SDK directory> c:\dxsdk
setx DXSDK_DIR c:\dxsdk

Building for Native Client (Pepper 22) on Windows

Download Native Client SDK from https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download

setx NACL <path to Native Client SDK directory>\toolchain\win_x86_newlib

Building

Visual Studio 2008:

start .build/projects/vs2008/bgfx.sln

Linux 64-bit:

make -R linux-release64

Other platforms:

make -R <configuration>

Configuration is -<debug/release><32/64>. For example:

linux-release32, nacl-debug64, android-release32, etc.

Examples

00-helloworld
