Getting started

This short document will guide you through the compilation of the Lol engine.

Getting source code

Getting source code from the SVN server:

svn co svn://svn.lolengine.net/lol/trunk

Username is anonymous; use an empty password.

You may wish to use Git instead of Subversion, using the git-svn script:

git svn clone --stdlayout svn://svn.lolengine.net/lol/

Build on Windows

There is a Visual Studio solution in the build/vs2012 directory.

The only required dependency is the ​Microsoft DirectX SDK.

If you wish to build Visual Studio extensions, you also need the ​Visual Studio 2010 SP1 SDK, ​2012 SDK or ​2013 SDK.

Build on Linux

You will need the following software before trying to build the engine:

g++
automake
autoconf
libtool
pkg-config
libglew-dev
libsdl2-dev
libsdl2-image-dev
libsdl2-mixer-dev

To build the engine:

./bootstrap
./configure
make
