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/) and
|
|
[SDL2_mixer](https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/). All other dependencies
|
|
are statically linked into the engine. The libs for Windows can be downloaded
|
|
from their respective websites, Linux and macOS developers should compile from
|
|
source.
|
|
|
|
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 generate the projects on Windows:
|
|
```
|
|
# Put the SDL2/SDL2_mixer VC development libraries next to the VVVVVV folder!
|
|
mkdir flibitBuild
|
|
cd flibitBuild
|
|
cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 2010" .. -DSDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS="../../SDL2-2.0.10/include;../../SDL2_mixer-2.0.4/include" -DSDL2_LIBRARIES="../../SDL2-2.0.10/lib/x86/SDL2;../../SDL2-2.0.10/lib/x86/SDL2main;../../SDL2_mixer-2.0.4/lib/x86/SDL2_mixer"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.

A Word About Compiler Quirks
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This engine is _super_ fussy about optimization levels and runtime checks. In
|
|
particular, the Windows version _absolutely positively must_ be compiled in
|
|
Debug mode, with /RTC enabled. If you build in Release mode, or have /RTC
|
|
disabled, the game behaves dramatically different in ways that were never fully
|
|
documented (bizarre softlocks, out-of-bounds issues that don't show up in tools
|
|
like Valgrind, stuff like that). There are lots of things about this old code
|
|
that could be cleaned up, polished, rewritten, and so on, but this is the one
|
|
that will probably bite you the hardest when setting up your own build,
|
|
regardless of platform.
|
|
|
|
We hope you'll enjoy messing with the source anyway!
