Enter ```axis``` root directory 2. Run ```python setup.py```, restart the console after it has finished for environment variables to take effect #### Windows (64/32 bit Visual Studio 2019/2022) 1. Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/) 3.14+ 2. Install Visual Studio 2019/2022 (it's recommended that you only use these versions) 3. Execute the following commands in a command line (Console, Window Terminal or Powershell) ```cd axis ``` - 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``` Build excecutable in a command line (e.g. cpp-tests): ```msbuild .\build\axis.sln -target:cpp_tests -maxCpuCount``` #### Improve 'Visual Studio' workflow, support linking with engine prebuilt libs See [windows workflow guide](https://github.com/axis-project/axis/issues/564) #### Android ##### With Android Studio 1. Install Android Studio 2021.1.1+ 2. When starting Android Studio for the first time, It will guide you to install the SDK and other tools, just install them 3. Start Android and choose [Open an existing Android Studio Project] and select ```axis\tests\cpp-tests\proj.android``` 4. Start Android Studio and Open [Tools][SDKManager], then switch to ```SDK Tools```, check the ```Show Package Details```, choose the following tools and click the button ```Apply``` to install them: * Android SDK Platform 29 r5 * Android SDK Build-Tools 29.0.2 * NDK r23c+ * CMake 3.10+ 5. Wait for ```Gradle sync``` finish. 6. Note: If you use non-sdk provided CMake edition, you will need to download ```ninja``` from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases, and copy ```ninja.exe``` to cmake's bin directory ##### Without Android Studio 1. Download command-tools from https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools 2. Install Android devtools (for example in windows) ```bat # unzip command-tools at D:\dev\adt\ # Install android devtools cd D:\dev\adt\ mkdir sdk .\cmdline-tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat --verbose --sdk_root=D:\dev\adt\sdk "platform-tools" "cmdline-tools;latest" "platforms;android-33" "build-tools;30.0.3" "cmake;3.22.1" "ndk;23.2.8568313" set ANDROID_HOME=D:\dev\adt\sdk # Goto xxx\proj.android .\gradlew.bat assembleRelease -PPROP_BUILD_TYPE=cmake -PPROP_APP_ABI=arm64-v8a --parallel --info ``` #### iOS 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``` 2. Execute the following command ```sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer``` 3. Generate xcode project - for arm64: ```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AXIS_ROOT/cmake/ios.mini.cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64``` - for armv7,arm64 combined: ```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AXIS_ROOT/cmake/ios.mini.cmake "-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=armv7;arm64"``` - for simulator x86_64: ```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AXIS_ROOT/cmake/ios.mini.cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64``` 4. After cmake finishes generating, you can open the xcode project at ```build``` folder and run cpp-tests or other test targets. 5. Notes - **The code signing is required to run the ios app on your device, just change the bundle identifier until the auto manage signing is solved** - **axis only provides armv7, arm64, x86_64 prebuilt libraries for ios** ### New Project - Cpp: `axis new -p org.axis.hellocpp -d D:\dev\projects\ -l cpp --portrait HelloCpp` - Lua: `axis new -p org.axis.hellolua -d D:\dev\projects\ -l lua --portrait HelloLua` ### Some interesting related projects based on axis - https://github.com/solan-solan/HeightMap/tree/smooth_lod_passing - https://github.com/wzhengsen/StarryX - https://github.com/aismann/SimpleSnake - https://github.com/EugenyN/TanksKombat ### Notes * ThreadLocalStorage (TLS) - ios x86 simulator ios>=10 and axis no longer provide x86 libraries - ios x64 or devices (armv7, arm64) ios sdk>=9.0 - the 'OpenAL Soft' maintained by kcat uses TLS ### Reference links * Official Cocos2d-x Repo: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x ### Contributing guide https://github.com/axis-project/axis/discussions/411 ### The axis Active Stats ![Alt](https://repobeats.axiom.co/api/embed/e46f10898672224fde3b102d81a28482164faf2e.svg "Repobeats analytics image")
