# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libfreetype6-dev libsdl2-dev libpnglite-dev libwavpack-dev python3
# Fedora
sudo dnf install @development-tools cmake gcc-c++ git freetype-devel mesa-libGLU-devel pnglite-devel python3 SDL2-devel wavpack-devel
# Arch Linux (doesn't have pnglite in its repositories)
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel cmake freetype2 git glu python sdl2 wavpack
# macOS
brew install cmake freetype sdl2
git clone https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds --recurse-submodules
cd teeworlds
# If you already cloned the repository before, use:
# git submodule update --init
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make
On subsequent builds, you only have to repeat the make
step.
You can then run the client with ./teeworlds
and the server with ./teeworlds_srv
.
The following options can be passed to the cmake ..
command line (between the
cmake
and ..
) in the "Building" step above.
-GNinja
: Use the Ninja build system instead of Make. This automatically
parallizes the build and is generally faster. (Needs sudo apt install ninja-build
on Debian, sudo dnf install ninja-build
on Fedora, and sudo pacman -S --needed ninja
on Arch Linux.)
-DDEV=ON
: Enable debug mode and disable some release mechanics. This leads to
faster builds.
-DCLIENT=OFF
: Disable generation of the client target. Can be useful on
headless servers which don't have graphics libraries like SDL2 installed.
Download and install some version of Microsoft Visual Studio (as of writing, MSVS Community 2017) with the following components:
Run Visual Studio. Open the Team Explorer (View → Team Explorer, Ctrl+^,
Ctrl+M). Click Clone (in the Team Explorer, Connect → Local Git Repositories).
Enter https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds
into the first input box. Wait
for the download to complete (terminals might pop up).
Wait until the CMake configuration is done (watch the Output windows at the bottom).
Select teeworlds.exe
in the Select Startup Item… combobox next to the green
arrow. Wait for the compilation to finish.
For subsequent builds you only have to click the button with the green arrow again.
Download and install MinGW with at least the following components:
Also install Git (for downloading the source code), Python and CMake.
Open CMake ("CMake (cmake-gui)" in the start menu). Click "Browse Source" (first line) and select the directory with the Teeworlds source code. Next, click "Browse Build" and create a subdirectory for the build (e.g. called "build"). Then click "Configure". Select "MinGW Makefiles" as the generator and click "Finish". Wait a bit (until the progress bar is full). Then click "Generate".
You can now build Teeworlds by executing mingw32-make
in the build directory.
You can also compile Teeworlds with bam, a custom build system. Instructions for that can be found at https://www.teeworlds.com/?page=docs&wiki=hacking.
