Build

first clone repo and submodules:

git clone git@github.com:robinwils/wato.git
cd wato
git submodule update --init --recursive

Then fetch assets with Git LFS (install git lfs first):

git lfs pull

Windows

GLFW

Build VS solution using cmake and then build GLFW inside visual studio

BGFX

Build VS solution:

cd .\deps\bgfx
..\bx\tools\bin\windows\genie --with-examples --with-tools vs2022

Open solution in visual studio and build bgfx, bx and bimg

GLFW

glfw has precompiled binaries, download them from the official website and copy the folder to deps/glfw

Assimp

there is a WIP CMakeLists.txt that will generate assimp files

cmake -B 'Build' .
cmake --build .

VS options

1. Add /Zc:__cplusplus in Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Command Line
2. Use the same config for Runtime Library in Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library
3. Link libraries:

glfw3.lib or glfw3_mt.lib
bgfxDebug.lib
bxDebug.lib
bimgDebug.lib

Linux

Dependencies

• GLFW
• lib X11
• lib vulkan

on debian

sudo apt install libglfw3-dev libx11-dev libvulkan-dev

Build

Build is done using cmake:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1 .

CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS is used for generating the compile json DB for LSP usage (clangd)

Icon fonts

Install PyYAML and generate fonts

$ pip install PyYAML

Shaders

Shaders are compiled using a makefile, they are kept in the same place as bgfx shader files

You need to compile shaderc binary from the bgfx solution (tools > shaderc > shaderc) in release mode

$ make -C shaders linux-shaders
$ make -C shaders windows-shaders
$ make -C shaders osx-shaders
