This is a special manual where will be written about building process for each operating system.

Common Preparing

  • Download sources (clone dev repo)
  • Download any config pack

First of all, you will need to download all sources:

Try to clone the repository by this command: 

#make directory for your repos if you haven't it
mk ~/myrepos
cd ~/myrepos/
#clone repo into your new directory
git clone https://github.com/Wohlhabend-Networks/PGE-Project.git

But if you was failed to clone repo, you can download sources as ZIP:

https://github.com/Wohlhabend-Networks/PGE-Project

(use the link "Download Zip" for getting the sources from GitHub)


And after download any configuration package (which contains graphics, music and sounds) which need to be able work with PGE:

Note: Don't forget place configs, languages (after built *.qm files) directories with compiled executable file!

Building for Linux

Dependences

  • Qt >= 5.4 (You can download it here: http://qt-project.org/downloads (You need the community version)
  • gcc >=4.7
  • g++ >=4.7
  • freeglut:
    • freeglut3-dev (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)
    • freeglut-devel (RedHat / CentOS / Fedora)
  • SDL2 >= 2.0
  • SDL2_mixer >= 2.0

Installing of development tools

GCC

Install gcc on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint 

sudo apt-get gcc g++ freeglut3-dev make git wget

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install "^libxcb.*" libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev

on Redhat / CentOS 

sudo yum install gcc g++ freeglut-devel make git wget

on openSUSE 

sudo zypper install gcc g++ freeglut-devel make git wget

SDL

At first, download the SDL library:

On Linux Mint you just can execute to install all dependencies: 

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0.0 libsdl2-dev libmodplug1 libmodplug-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libmad0 libmad0-dev libflac-dev

Install official SDL2_mixer build: 

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-2.0.0 libsdl2-mixer-dev

(But instead of you can build a modified SDL2_mixer library which includes with PGE Sources in the _Libs/SDL2_mixer_modified)

Differences: between official and modded builds:

  • Added resample source from 'madplay' player to implement better audio resampling
  • Ability to build via qmake from Qt
  • Enabled true loops for ModPlug and MikMod libraries
  • Attempt to add .SPC playback


But, if your distro hasn't SDL2 builds, you will need to get a source package:
http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

And download the SDL2_mixer's source too:
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

Here you will need for these libs: libogg, libvorbis and libflac
http://xiph.org/downloads/


Here you need to download the mikmod library:
http://mikmod.sourceforge.net/#files


And here you need to download the LibMAD library to allow MP3 playback via SDL2_mixer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mad/files/


You also can get all libraries from our folder:
http://wohlsoft.ru/docs/Software/LibSDL/

Don't forget to download fix for configure script of the libmad:
http://wohlsoft.ru/docs/Software/LibSDL/libmad-0.15.1b-mingw-w64.patch


Note You can found sources of SDL in the _Libs/_sources/ folder. You can try to build them with running of "build_linux_usr.sh" as root which will build SDL with /usr/ prefix or build_linux.sh which will build dependencies into _Libs/_builds/linux folder

Qt 5

To get Qt installation you have two ways: you can install Qt5 packages from your repositories but also you can download it here:

http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/

Note: You can see more download links if you will open "View all downloads" page.

If you download necessary package from official site, you should open Terminal and set "executable" permission to get able start installation.

  • download package to your PC
wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/online_installers/qt-opensource-linux-x64-online.run
  • Set executable:
chmod u+x qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.6.0-4-online.run
  • Run install:
./qt-opensource-linux-x64-1.6.0-4-online.run

and follow install instructions.

and, after install don't forgot check installed Qt (If you set install folder is "/opt/Qt/"): 

/opt/Qt/5.4.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake -v

If you get message like this: 

QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.4.0 in /opt/Qt/5.3.1/gcc_64/lib

All is okay ;-)

for convenience, you can add symlink to qmake in /usr/bin and use qmake simply: 

<pre>sudo ln -s /opt/Qt/5.4.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake /usr/bin/qmake

Warning! :warning: If you have installed other versions of Qt, you can create symlink, for example, as "qmake-qt5"

After the install, unpack all sources from ZIP to any folder (for example, /home/vasya/projects/pge/) 

cd ~/projects/pge/PGE-Project-master/

Preparing for build

  • Extract the source code to a folder where you can find it easily
  • Extract the downloaded config pack into /path/to/your/source/Content/configs

You must have this tree:

  • run the generate_paths.sh file and when notepad will open, type the paths to qmake and to lrelease (in the bin directory of your Qt,

for example /opt/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/bin/qmake, /opt/Qt/5.4/gcc_64/bin/lrelease)

  • run the build_deps.sh to build included dependent libraries.

Building code

You simply use the special build script in the "build.sh" file for build project

And you can build sources simply: 

chmod u+x build.sh
./build.sh


If everything is successfully built, you will see the file "pge_editor" in the ./bin folder. Exec this file for starting the editor.


Also you can build manually: 

qmake
cd Editor
lrelease pge_editor.pro
cd ..
make
make install

And after you will can run application from a bin directory
