Example for Debian/Ubuntu compatible systems:
sudo apt install clang cmake python3 ninja-build libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libqscintilla2-qt5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev libswresample-dev libswscale-dev libunwind-dev qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libexpat1-dev libfreetype-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev zlib1g-dev libicu-dev libharfbuzz-dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins
Get Source
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/friction2d/friction
Keep the source updated with:
git pull && git submodule update -i --recursive
Build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang \
..
Note that on some configurations you will need to specify qscintilla paths:
-DQSCINTILLA_INCLUDE_DIRS=<PATH_TO_QSCINTILLA_INCLUDE_DIR> \
-DQSCINTILLA_LIBRARIES_DIRS=<PATH_TO_LIBS> \
-DQSCINTILLA_LIBRARIES=<QSCINTILLA_LIBRARY_NAME> \
Now build:
cmake --build . --config Release
Executable is available in src/app/friction.
