This hasn't been relevant for years now. Even in 2.3, this wasn't relevant, but we added a disclaimer saying that it only applies to 2.2. But now issue #1052 has been opened specifically pointing to this section as something that should be removed. Therefore, I'm removing it.

How to Build
|
|
------------
|
|
VVVVVV's official desktop versions are built with the following environments:
|
|
|
|
- Windows: Visual Studio 2010
|
|
- macOS: Xcode CLT, currently targeting 10.9 SDK
|
|
- GNU/Linux: CentOS 7
|
|
|
|
The engine depends solely on [SDL2](https://libsdl.org/) 2.24.0+. All other dependencies
|
|
are statically linked into the engine. The development libraries for Windows can
|
|
be downloaded from SDL's website, Linux developers can find the dev libraries from their
|
|
respective repositories, and macOS developers should compile and install from source.
|
|
(If you're on Ubuntu and your Ubuntu is too old to have this SDL version, then
|
|
[see here](https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/issues/618#issuecomment-968338212)
|
|
for workarounds.)
|
|
|
|
Since VVVVVV 2.4, git submodules are used for the
|
|
[third party libraries](https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/tree/master/third_party).
|
|
After cloning, run `git submodule update --init` to set all of these up.
|
|
You can also use this command whenever the submodules need to be updated.
|
|
|
|
Steamworks support is included and the DLL is loaded dynamically, you do not
|
|
need the SDK headers and there is no special Steam or non-Steam version. The
|
|
current implementation has been tested with Steamworks SDK v1.46.
|
|
|
|
To build the Make and Play edition of the game, uncomment `#define MAKEANDPLAY`
|
|
in `MakeAndPlay.h`.
|
|
|
|
To generate the projects on Windows:
|
|
```
|
|
# Put your SDL2 folders somewhere nice!
|
|
mkdir flibitBuild
|
|
cd flibitBuild
|
|
cmake -A Win32 -G "Visual Studio 10 2010" .. -DSDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS="C:\SDL2-2.24.0\include" -DSDL2_LIBRARIES="C:\SDL2-2.24.0\lib\x86\SDL2;C:\SDL2-2.24.0\lib\x86\SDL2main"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that on some systems, the `SDL2_LIBRARIES` list on Windows may need
|
|
SDL2/SDL2main to have `.lib` at the end of them. The reason for this
|
|
inconsistency is unknown.
|
|
|
|
Also note that if you're using a Visual Studio later than 2010, you will need to
|
|
change the `-G` string accordingly; otherwise you will get a weird cryptic
|
|
error. Refer to the list below:
|
|
|
|
- VS 2012: `"Visual Studio 11 2012"`
|
|
- VS 2013: `"Visual Studio 12 2013"`
|
|
- VS 2015: `"Visual Studio 14 2015"`
|
|
- VS 2017: `"Visual Studio 15 2017"`
|
|
- VS 2019: `"Visual Studio 16 2019"`
|
|
- VS 2022: `"Visual Studio 17 2022"`
|
|
|
|
To generate everywhere else:
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir flibitBuild
|
|
cd flibitBuild
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
macOS may be fussy about the SDK version. How to fix this is up to the whims of
|
|
however Apple wants to make CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT annoying to configure and retain
|
|
each time Xcode updates.
|
|
|
|
Including data.zip
|
|
------------
|
|
You'll need the data.zip file from VVVVVV to actually run the game! You can grab
|
|
it from your copy of the game, or you can download it for free from the [Make
|
|
and Play](https://thelettervsixtim.es/makeandplay/) page. Put this file next to
|
|
your executable and the game should run.
|
|
|
|
This is intended for personal use only - our license doesn't allow you to
|
|
actually distribute this data.zip file with your own forks without getting
|
|
permission from us first. See [LICENSE.md](../LICENSE.md) for more details. (If
|
|
you've got a project in mind that requires distributing this
|
|
file, [get in touch](http://distractionware.com/email/)!)
