How to build

Prerequisites

You must have the Boost libraries (v1.49 or higher) installed on your system path such that CMAKE can find them. You can download Boost here or through your distro's package manager.

You must also have CMAKE v2.8.12 or higher installed on your system, available here or through your distro's package manager.

Linux Build Process

1. Checkout the repository using git
2. Open a terminal window in the root of the repository you just checked out
3. Initialize the submodules: git submodule init --recursive
4. Build with CMake: mkdir build && cd build
5. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=[path_to_gesource] ..
6. make install

Windows Build Process

1. Checkout the repository using git and initialize the submodules (recommend TortoiseGit)
2. Create a build directory in the repository's root
3. Open CMAKE GUI and configure the project for the visual studio version you are using (prefer 2015)
4. Open Visual Studio using the generated solution files
5. Build and install as usual

Third-Party Libraries

GES relies on several third-party libraries during compilation. We have an integrated Python 3.4 interpreter to run our Gameplay Scenarios and AI. To drive all this, we use the Boost Python library. To play our music, we utilize FMOD since Valve's internal sound functions do not operate across level transitions.

Contributing

We will accept pull requests and bug reports from anyone. All we ask at this state is to limit your requests to bug fixes and compilation fixes. New capability and major code revisions will not be accepted until further notice.
