Compiling

Requirements

1. CMake 2.8+
2. Allegro 5.0.11

• Windows: Extract into lib/allegro-5.0 (should have lib, include, etc. in that directory)

3. flex
4. bison
5. gcc

Windows users should install flex and bison through Cygwin or MSYS. Visual C++ Express or Visual Studio will be required to compile on Windows.

Compile Process

Windows

1. Open CMake GUI, you lucky bastard, you.
2. Set the following:

• Source: C:/Wherever/You/Put/OpenBYOND
• Build Folder: C:/Wherever/You/Put/OpenBYOND/build

3. Mash Configure and select your desired Visual Studio/Visual C++ Express version
4. Push Generate.
5. Open OpenBYOND.sln in the build directory.
6. F6 to build.

Linux

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -build build .
make

WHERE IS EVERYTHING

Here's the organization we're currently using:

• cmake/ - CMake macros and packages.
• lib/ - External libraries (allegro, etc)
• doc/ - Documentation
• openbyond-core - Core library, DM parser syntax, networking. Common things everything else uses.
• openbyond-client - Client.
• openbyond-server - Server.
• openbyond-ide - Replacement for DreamMaker.

Every openbyond-* directory should have an include/ folder for C++ headers, a src/ for C++ sourcecode, and a CMakeLists.txt file specifying which files are built and any additional actions to take.
