brucelevis/sokol_cmake

some cmake stuff for using sokol and sokol's shader compiler

game

A game written in C99 with minimal dependencies for Windows, macOS, Linux and WASM.

Clone, Build and Run (Linux, macOS, Windows)

On the command line:

git clone https://github.com/usr/repo
cd repo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

NOTE: on Linux you'll need to install the OpenGL and X11 development packages (e.g. mesa-common-dev and libx11-dev).

On Mac and Linux this will create an executable called 'game' in the build directory:

./game

On Windows, the executable is in a subdirectory:

Debug/game.exe

Build and Run WASM/HTML version via Emscripten

NOTE: You'll run into various problems running the Emscripten SDK tools on Windows, might be better to run this stuff in WSL.

Setup the emscripten SDK as described here:

https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html#installation-instructions

Don't forget to run source ./emsdk_env.sh after activating the SDK.

And then in the game.c directory:

mkdir build
cd build
emcmake cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel ..
cmake --build .

To run the compilation result in the system web browser:

> emrun game.html

IDE Support

On Windows, cmake will automatically create a Visual Studio solution file which can be opened with the start command:

cd build
cmake ..
start game.sln

On macOS, the cmake Xcode generator can be used to create an Xcode project which can be opened with the open command:

cd build
cmake -GXcode ..
open game.xcodeproj

On all platforms with Visual Studio Code and the Microsoft C/C++ and CMake Tools extensions, simply open VSCode in the root directory of the project. The CMake Tools extension will detect the CMakeLists.txt file and take over from there:

cd game.c
code .
