Compiling Teeworlds on Mac

IMPORTANT NOTE: SDL and Freetype libs are not shipped with Teeworlds 0.7.x. You must download them separately.

Q: What is BAM?

Bam is the build system made by matricks used in Teeworlds.

Setup

1. Install Xcode from the Appstore or install Xcode Command Line Tools xcode-select --install.
2. Install libsdl using brew brew install sdl2
3. Install Freetype using brew brew install freetype
4. Download and unzip Teeworlds-source or Teeworlds-latest-source
5. Download and unzip bam to \teeworldsSource\bam
6. Compiling bam
   • $ cd bam
   • $ ./make_unix.sh
   • $ cd ..

Compiling

2. cd /teeworldsSource

   • Changes to the teeworlds source directory

3. ./bam/bam config

   • Runs bam configuration

4. ./bam/bam conf=release -f

   • Compiles teeworlds (Client and Server)
   • Flag -f will force a recompile
   • Available targets:
     • release (for all in release mode)
     • debug (for all in debug mode)
     • server_release
     • server_debug
     • client_release
     • client_debug
   • To build the tools and master server in release mode use the following arguments:
     • conf=release tools masterserver

5. The compiled game is located at /teeworldsSource/build/..

For Teeworlds v0.6.x and earlier

Available targets are:

• release (for all in release mode)
• debug (for all in debug mode)
• server_release
• server_debug
• client_release
• client_debug

E.g. to build server debug use the following arguments:

../bam/bam server_debug

Also: Teeworlds 0.5.2 and earlier requires python 2.x to compile. Python 3.x will not work. Python 3.x support is introduced with Teeworlds 0.6.0.

Also: If you are using bam 0.2.0 (needed for Teeworlds 0.5.2 and earlier) the bam binary will not be in the bam directory, but in bam/src. You will need to change the paths accordingly to that or copy/move the bam executable to the bam directory.
