MetaProject for CMake, clones and builds all (selected) projects
This project uses CMake as a project/build generator. Proceed to your OS section
If you are in Linux, the recommended build is by CMake + Ninja:
apt-get install git cmake ninja
Clone (recursively) the project
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ReverseTale/MetaProject.git
Create a folder inside MetaProject: MetaProject/build
cd MetaProject && mkdir build
Now, from inside build, configure and compile with:
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ..
ninja
Proceed to Workspace management section.
Install CMake and Visual Studio (Community Edition is free, minimum required is 2015).
Clone the project either using git or downloading the zip file from this page.
Using CMake GUI, set:
- Where is the source code: Path to
MetaProject- Where to build the binaries: Path to
MetaProject/Build- Press
[Configure]- Press
[Generate]- Inside
MetaProject/Buildyou will have the MSVC project
Proceed to Workspace management section.
Whenever you build the project, the resulting binaries can be found in the directory MetaProject/install/bin, specifically
MetaProject/install/bin/LoginServer
MetaProject/install/bin/GameServer
The recommended way to work is by using Visual Studio Code, either on Windows or Linux. To do so, once the project is already built (otherwise you will not see it) open the file project.code-workspace with Visual Studio Code. Once inside, you should already see 4 folders, one for each of the compomenents of this project.
To rebuild the project, once/if any modification has been done to any file, head back to your build directory and issue ninja again, ie:
cd MetaProject/build
ninja
Generated binaries will be updated on MetaProject/install/bin/.
Using Visual Studio Community Edition (or Pro versions) on Windows is, at the moment, work in project. There is no ETA and probably will be delayed for a long time.
You did not clone with the --recursive option. Go to the MetaProject directory and run:
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
