2.3 KiB
Note: all of the following assumes you're on Linux. If you're on Windows, have fun figuring things out...
You'll need python (for the compilation script), a C++14 compiler and boost-1.60 compiled with c++14 support. Most likely you'll have a C++98 ABI version, which means it'll probably compile but crash randomly when run. Refer to the next section how to obtain a correct boost version. If you have them, you can just run:
./waf configure
./waf
You can specify compile flags on configure:
CXX=g++-5.3.0 CXXFLAGS="-O3 -DNDEBUG" LINKFLAGS="-whatever" ./waf configure
If everything goes well, you'll get an executable in build/stcm-editor.
Boost with C++14
Download the latest release, and look at
getting started guide, specially the 5.2. section. If
you have boost installed globally, that can cause problems. In this case edit
tools/build/src/engine/jambase.c and remove/comment out the line:
"BOOST_BUILD_PATH = /usr/share/boost-build ;\n",
before running bootstrap.sh.
Continue until 5.2.4. You'll need to add cxxflags=-std=c++14 to the b2
command line. Adding link=static is also a good idea to avoid dynamic loader
path problems. We currently only use the filesystem library, so you can add
--with-filesystem to reduce build time. I used the following command line:
b2 --with-filesystem toolset=gcc-5.3.0 variant=release link=static threading=single runtime-link=shared cxxflags=-std=c++14 stage
To actually use it, if you unpacked boost into $boost_dir:
./waf configure --boost-includes $boost_dir --boost-libs $boost_dir/stage/lib
Cross compiling to Windows
Get a cross compiler. Refer to your distro's documentation or google. For boost, look here. You'll have to specify your cross compiler when configuring:
CXX=i686-w64-mingw32-g++-5.3.0 LINKFLAGS="-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc" ./waf configure ...
Specifying the -static-* options are not required, but in that case you'll
manually have to copy the required dlls next to the executable.
