Quick Start

Common Requirement Python

  • Python-2.7.17+, Python-3.7+

Prerequisites

  1. Enter axmol 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 3.22.1+

  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 axmol

    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

    b) C++17

    • add -DCXX_STD=17 for C++17 on your command line like:
      cmake -S . -B build -DCXX_STD=17 -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64

  4. Build excecutable in a command line (e.g. cpp-tests):
    msbuild .\build\axmol.sln -target:cpp_tests -maxCpuCount

Improve 'Visual Studio' workflow, support linking with engine prebuilt libs

See windows workflow guide

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 axmol\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:
  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)
# 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, tvOS and macOS

  1. Ensure xcode12+ & cmake3.21+ 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 ios arm64:
      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
    • for ios simulator x86_64:
      cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=SIMULATOR64
    • for tvos arm64:
      cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=TVOS
    • for tvos simulator x86_64:
      cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=SIMULATOR_TVOS
    • for macos x86_64(Intel) cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64
    • for macos arm64(M1) cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64

  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/tvos app on your device, just change the bundle identifier until the auto manage signing is solved
    • axmol only provides armv7, arm64, x86_64 prebuilt libraries for ios/tvos

New Project

  • 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

Notes

  • ThreadLocalStorage (TLS)
    • ios x86 simulator ios>=10 and axmol no longer provide x86 libraries
    • ios x64 or devices (armv7, arm64) ios sdk>=9.0
    • the 'OpenAL Soft' maintained by kcat uses TLS
