Build from repository

This project uses the CMake build system. Use the following commands to build (it is recommended to build in a separate directory as shown here):

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

or select platform dependent generator for your favorite IDE.

This has been tested on Visual Studio 2019 - your experiences with other IDE's may vary.

Dependencies

  • SDL2 - crossplatform media framework
  • FFmpeg - video support
  • OpenAL - audio support
  • zlib - compression

These are now auto-resolved during CMake build.

Instructions

You will require the following installed on your computer: Git, CMake and Visual Studio 2019.

  • Clone, fork or download the repo "https://github.com/gp-alex/world-of-might-and-magic.git"
  • Move to folder and create a seperate build directory
  • Open CMake GUI and select the source directory and the build directory
  • Configure -> Select "Visual Studio 16 2019" for the generator and "Win32" as the optional platform
  • Generate
  • Open Project (Can now close CMake)
  • In Visual Studio 2019 Build the project
  • Once that completes set "World_of_Might_and_Magic" as the startup project and run

NB - Always use a new empty folder for the build directory if you need to re-run CMake
