This is a short and easy tutorial for building Marble Marcher: Community Edition on Windows. This tutorial (the command line parts) can be followed with Git Bash, though you'll need a developer CMD in administrator mode for at least one process.

  1. Make sure you have CMake x64, OpenAL, and Visual Studio 2022 installed.

  2. Download the CE edition to a folder of your choice and unzip it: https://github.com/WAUthethird/Marble-Marcher-Community-Edition or git clone https://github.com/WAUthethird/Marble-Marcher-Community-Edition.git.

  3. Create a folder in your C: drive root called Libraries. Alternatively, feel free to configure the paths in CMakeLists.txt, in the MMCE root.

  4. Download and unzip Eigen to the Libraries folder. I used the .zip version of the 3.4.0 release: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/

  • Rename the unzipped folder to eigen3.
  1. Download and unzip SFML to the Libraries folder. I used the 2.5.1 Visual C++ 15 (2017) - 64-bit version: https://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php
  • Inside the resulting unzipped folder should be just a folder called SFML-2.5.1. Move this folder outside its parent folder, into Libraries. Delete the now empty parent folder. Rename SFML-2.5.1 to SFML-2.5.1_64.
  1. Download and unzip AntTweakBar to the Libraries folder: http://anttweakbar.sourceforge.net
  • Inside the resulting unzipped folder should be just a folder called AntTweakBar. Move this folder outside its parent folder, into Libraries. Delete the now empty parent folder.
  1. Download and unzip GLM to the Libraries folder. I used the .zip version of the 0.9.9.8 release: https://github.com/g-truc/glm/releases/tag/0.9.9.8
  • Inside the resulting unzipped folder should be just a folder called glm. Move this folder outside its parent folder, into Libraries. Delete the now empty parent folder.
  1. Download and unzip GLEW to the Libraries folder. I used the 2.1.0 Windows binaries: http://glew.sourceforge.net/
  • Inside the resulting unzipped folder should be just a folder called glew-2.1.0. Move this folder outside its parent folder, into Libraries. Delete the now empty parent folder. Rename glew-2.1.0 to GLEW.

  1. Now that you have all libraries in the proper places, open a developer command prompt with administrator privileges and cd into the MMCE root. Run cmake .

  2. Open the resulting .sln file in Visual Studio and build the solution as a x64 release.
