Building
--------
### Prerequsites
Premake 4.4 beta4
[http://industriousone.com/premake/download](http://industriousone.com/premake/download)
GNU make. Windows users download GNU make utility from:
[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm](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](https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download)
setx NACL_DIR <path to Native Client SDK directory>
### Building
Visual Studio 2008:
start .build/projects/vs2008/bgfx.sln
Linux 64-bit:
make -R linux-release64
Other platforms:
make -R <configuration>
Configuration is <platform>-<debug/release><32/64>. For example:
linux-release32, nacl-debug64, android-release32, etc.
Examples
--------
### 00-helloworld
Initialization and debug text.
### 01-cubes
Rendering simple static mesh.
### 02-metaballs
