### Quick Start
2020-11-19 14:34:08 +08:00
#### Common Requirement [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2023-02-13 17:52:05 +08:00
- Python-3.7+
2020-08-05 18:31:24 +08:00
2020-10-22 16:58:56 +08:00
#### Prerequisites
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
1. Enter `axmol` root directory
2. Run `python setup.py` , restart the console after it has finished for environment variables to take effect
#### Creating A New Project
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2023-03-10 22:11:17 +08:00
Using a console window, an example of a command to generate a new project is as follows:
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
2023-03-10 22:11:17 +08:00
```axmol new -p YOUR.UNIQUE.ID -d PROJECT_PATH -l [cpp|lua] [--portrait] PROJECT_NAME```
Type `axmol new --help` at the command line for more options you can pass to `axmol new`
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
Examples:
- Cpp: `axmol new -p org.axmol.hellocpp -d D:\dev\projects\ -l cpp --portrait HelloCpp`
- Lua: `axmol new -p org.axmol.hellolua -d D:\dev\projects\ -l lua --portrait HelloLua`
2020-10-22 16:58:56 +08:00
2021-11-23 20:16:36 +08:00
#### Windows (64/32 bit Visual Studio 2019/2022)
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-10-11 10:40:39 +08:00
1. Install [CMake ](https://cmake.org/ ) 3.22.1+
2022-02-10 03:15:53 +08:00
2. Install Visual Studio 2019/2022 (it's recommended that you only use these versions)
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
3. Create a new project as shown [here ](#creating-a-new-project )
4. In a console window, navigate into the root directory of the project you created in the previous step
5. Generate the relevant Visual Studio project using the cmake command:
```cmake -S SOURCE_DIR -B BUILD_DIR -G VISUAL_STUDIO_VERSION_STRING -A [Win32|x64]```
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
For example, say `SOURCE_DIR` is the current path `"."` , and `BUILD_DIR` (out-of-source build directory) is named `"build"` :
a) C++ 20:
- for 32 bit Visual Studio 2019:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32```
- for 64 bit Visual Studio 2019:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64```
- for 32 bit Visual Studio 2022:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32```
- for 64 bit Visual Studio 2022:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64```
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
b) C++17
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
- add `-DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17` for C++17 on your command line like:
cmake -S . -B build `-DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17` -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
6. Use Visual Studio to open the newly created solution file. For example, `./build/ProjectName.sln`
2021-11-23 20:16:36 +08:00
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
##### Creating the Visual Studio solution for all axmol test projects
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
1. Open a console window (Command Prompt, Window Terminal or Powershell)
2. Navigate into the folder where axmol is installed. For example:
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
```cd axmol```
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
3. Run one of the following commands to create the Visual Studio solution for all axmol test projects in a folder named `build` :
2022-10-05 14:32:06 +08:00
2022-10-06 08:50:39 +08:00
a) C++ 20:
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
- for 32 bit Visual Studio 2019:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32```
- for 64 bit Visual Studio 2019:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64```
- for 32 bit Visual Studio 2022:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32```
- for 64 bit Visual Studio 2022:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64```
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-10-06 08:50:39 +08:00
b) C++17
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
- add `-DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17` for C++17 on your command line like:
cmake -S . -B build `-DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17` -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64
2021-11-23 20:16:36 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
4. You may either open the solution (".\build\axmol.sln") in Visual Studio and build any of the test projects via the IDE, or alternatively, build a project on the command line as follows (e.g. cpp-tests):
`msbuild .\build\axmol.sln -target:cpp_tests -maxCpuCount`
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-07-06 23:27:15 +08:00

2020-02-07 17:17:50 +08:00
2022-09-05 14:13:52 +08:00
#### iOS, tvOS and macOS
2022-12-20 11:31:52 +08:00
2022-06-17 22:16:55 +08:00
1. Ensure xcode12+ & [cmake3.21+ ](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases ) are installed, install cmake command line support: ```sudo "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui" --install```
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
2. Create a new project as shown [here ](#creating-a-new-project )
3. In a console window, navigate into the root directory of the project you created in the previous step

5. Generate the relevant xcode project using one of the following commands:
2022-08-18 09:13:09 +08:00
- for ios arm64:
2022-09-05 14:13:52 +08:00
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=OS64```
- for ios armv7,arm64 combined:
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=OS```
2022-08-18 09:13:09 +08:00

2020-08-24 16:26:12 +08:00
2022-11-27 22:57:06 +08:00
6. After cmake finishes generating, you can open the xcode project at ```build``` folder and run cpp-tests or other test targets.
7. Notes
2022-09-05 14:13:52 +08:00
