26 NetRadiant is known to build and run properly on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows using MSYS2, and build on macOS with Homebrew (some bugs are known though). Windows build is known to work well on wine, which can be used as a fallback on some system.
28 At this time library bundling is supported on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows/MSYS2, and macOS/Homebrew. Since bundling copies things from the host, a clean build environment has to be used in order to get a clean bundle. Linux and FreeBSD bundles do not ship GTK: users are expected to have a working GTK environment with GtkGLExt installed, usually installing GtkGLExt is enough to pull everything that is required.
31 ## Getting the sources
33 Source browser, issues and more can be found on the gitlab project: [gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant](https://gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant)
35 The latest source is available from the git repository: `https://gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant.git`
37 The `git` client can be obtained from your distribution repository or from the Git website: [git-scm.org](http://git-scm.org)
39 A copy of the source tree can be obtained by using the `git` command line client this way:
42 git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant.git
49 * OpenGL, LibXml2, GTK2, GtkGLExt, LibJpeg, LibPng, LibWebp, Minizip, ZLib.
51 To fetch default game packages you'll need Git, Subversion, Wget and `unzip`.
53 It's possible to build against GTK3 using the `-DGTK_TARGET=3` cmake option, but some problems may be encountered, see [GUI/GTK](https://gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant/-/issues?label_name[]=GUI%2FGTK3) issues. GTK2 remains recommended for now.
59 apt-get install --reinstall build-essential cmake \
60 lib{x11,gtk2.0,gtkglext1,xml2,jpeg,webp,minizip}-dev \
61 git subversion unzip wget
64 If you plan to build a bundle, you also need to install `uuid-runtime patchelf`
66 This is enough to build NetRadiant but you may also install those extra packages to get proper GTK2 graphical and sound themes: `gnome-themes-extra gtk2-engines-murrine libcanberra-gtk-module`
71 Under MSYS2, the mingw shell must be used.
73 If you use MSYS2 over SSH, add `mingw64` to the path this way (given you compile for 64 bit Windows, replace with `mingw32` if you target 32 bit Windows instead):
76 export PATH="/mingw64/bin:${PATH}"
79 Install the dependencies this way:
82 pacman -S --needed base-devel git subversion unzip \
83 mingw-w64-$(uname -m)-{ntldd-git,toolchain,cmake,make,gtk2,gtkglext,libwebp,minizip-git}
86 Explicitely use `mingw-w64-x86_64-` or `mingw-w64-i686-` prefix instead of `mingw-w64-$(uname -m)` if you need to target a non-default architecture.
92 pkg install cmake gtkglext pkgconf minizip webp coreutils gsed git subversion wget unzip
95 If you plan to build a bundle, you also need to install `patchelf`
100 Note: some dependencies of gtk+ seems to only be pulled with gtk+3, gtkglext seems to require libffi.
103 brew install cmake glib libffi gtk+ gtk+3 pkgconfig minizip webp coreutils gnu-sed wget sassc
104 brew link --force gettext
110 * Crunch (optional, not built if submodule is not present)
112 If you have not used `--recursive` option at `git clone` time, you can fetch Crunch this way (run this within the `netradiant` repository):
115 git submodule update --init --recursive
119 ## Simple compilation
121 It is required to first download the sources using `git` (do not use tarballs) and to have dependencies installed, see [Getting the sources](#getting-the-sources) and [Dependencies](#dependencies) above.
124 ### Easy builder assistant
126 If you have standard needs and use well-known platform and operating system, you may try the provided `easy-builder` script which may be enough for you, you can run it this way:
132 If everything went right, you'll find your netradiant build in `install/` subdirectory.
134 If you need to build a debug build (to get help from a developer, for example), you can do it this way:
137 ./easy-builder --debug
140 By default, build tools and compilers are using the `build/` directory as workspace.
142 For supported system, bundling dependencies can be done this way:
145 ./easy-builder -DBUNDLE_LIBRARIES=ON
148 Note: always do bundling on a clean system without unrelated software installed.
151 ## Advanced compilation
155 This project uses the usual CMake workflow:
161 cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
162 cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc)
169 cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
170 cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc)
173 Note: macOS users need to build built-in GtkGLExt before building NetRadiant:
176 cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
177 cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc) builtins
178 cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild
179 cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc)
183 ### Subsequent builds
185 The initial build will download the gamepacks and build NetRadiant and tools. If you frequently recompile you can skip downloading the gamepacks:
188 cmake --build build --target binaries -- -j$(nproc)
191 You should still periodically update gamepacks:
194 cmake --build build --target gamepacks
198 ### Build and installation details
200 #### Compilation details
204 * `BUILD_RADIANT=OFF`
205 Do not build NetRadiant (default: `ON`, build netradiant graphical editor);
207 Do not build q3map2 and other tools (default: `ON`, build command line tools);
208 * `BUILD_DAEMONMAP=OFF`
209 Do not build daemonmap tool (default: `ON` if submodule is there, buils daemonmap navigation mesh generator);
211 Disable crunch support (default: `ON` if submodule is there, enable crunch support);
212 * `RADIANT_ABOUTMSG="Custom build by $(whoami)"`
213 A message shown in the about dialog (default: `Custom build`).
217 * `binaries` Compile all binaries;
218 - `netradiant` Compile the netradiant editor;
219 - `modules` Compile all modules (each module has its own target as well);
220 - `plugins` Compile all plugins (each plugin has its own target as well);
221 - `tools` Compile all tools (each tool has its own target as well);
222 * `quake2` Compile all the Quake 2 tools: `q2map`, `qdata3`;
223 * `heretic2` Compile all the Heretic2 tools: `q2map`, `h2data`;
224 * `quake3` Compile all the Quake 3 tools:
225 - `q3map2` Compile the Quake 3 map compiler;
226 - `q3data` Compile the q3data tool;
227 * `unvanquished` Compile all the Unvanquished tools: `daemonmap`, `q3map3`, `q4data`;
228 - `daemonmap` Compile the daemonmap navigation mesh generator.
230 Type `make help` to get an exhaustive list of targets.
233 #### Download details
237 * `DOWNLOAD_GAMEPACKS=OFF`
238 Do not automatically download the gamepack data on each compilation and do not install already downloaded game packs (default: `ON`);
239 * `GAMEPACKS_LICENSE_LIST=all`
240 Download all gamepacks whatever their license (default: `free`, download free gamepacks, can be set to `none` to only filter by name);
241 * `GAMEPACKS_NAME_LIST="Xonotic Unvanquished"`
242 Download gamepacks for the given games (default: `none`, do not select more gamepacks to download).
246 * `gamepacks` Downloads the game pack data.
248 Run `./gamepacks-manager -h` to know about available licenses and other available games. Both lists are merged, for example setting `GAMEPACKS_LICENSE_LIST=GPL` and `GAMEPACKS_NAME_LIST=Q3` will install both GPL gamepacks and the proprietary Quake 3 gamepack.
251 #### Installation details
255 * `BUNDLE_LIBRARIES=ON`
256 Bundle libraries, only Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and MSYS2 are supported at this time (default: `OFF`);
257 * `FHS_INSTALL=ON` (available on POSIX systems)
258 Install files following the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (`bin`, `lib`, `share`, etc.)
259 Also setup XDG mime and application support on Linux-like systems (default: `OFF`, install like in 1999);
260 * `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr`
261 Install system-wide on Posix systems, always set `FHS_INSTALL` to `ON` when doing this (default: `install/` directory within source tree).
265 * `install` Install files.
268 ## Additonnal information
272 The crnlib used to decode `.crn` files is the one from [Dæmon](http://github.com/DaemonEngine/Daemon) which is the one by [Unity](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/crunch/tree/unity) made cross-platform and slightly improved. Since Unity brokes compatibility with [BinomialLLC's legacy tree](https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch) it's required to use either the `crunch` tool from Dæmon or the one from Unity to compress textures that have to be read by radiant or q3map2.
