Building

  • This project aims to be cross-platform.
  • Supported desktop operating systems : windows, linux
  • Supported mobile operating systems: android, winrt
  • mac os and ios will be coming soon.

Building on Windows

  • We'll only be describing how to build on windows because it's the easiest.
  • We currently use visual studio 2015 with Qt 5.6.

Requirements

  • Make sure you the following already installed.
    • SourceTree from Atlassian (a nice windows gui for git)
    • Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition or Commercial Edition (make to install the Universal Windows Platform Tools)
    • CMake
    • Ninja
    • Eclipse Neon (optional, but if you install it you'll want to update CDT (c++ indexer) to a nightly build, there is a bug in the neon package)

Create the Dev Directory

  • Create a directory that you will use for all your development.
  • Add an environment variable called DEV_ROOT that points to this directory.
  • Note on windows, variables are referenced as %DEV_ROOT% with the % character.

Fork The Repos

  • Fork the nodegraphexternal and nodegraphsoftware repos in BitBucket.
  • Now clone them locally to your machine, into the %DEV_ROOT% directory.

Setup Your Enivronment

  • There is a premade env.bat file in nodegraphsoftware/scripts/windows, which will setup your development environment.
  • It uses the %DEV_ROOT% enviroment variable you setup earlier.
  • Create a desktop short which opens a windows shell (cmd) and runs this script.
  • In the shortcut gui, the "target" should be set to the following:
  • %comspec% /k ""%DEV_ROOT%\nodegraphsoftware\scripts\windows\env.bat""

Create Your IDE Project

  • Double click the desktop shortcut to start a shell with our enviroment.
  • Start "cmake-gui" from it.
  • The source directory should point to the "nodegraphsoftware" directory.
  • Name the build dir, "nodegraphsoftware-build" and then press "configure".
  • It should ask which IDE/builder to generate files for. Choose one of:
    • Eclipse CDT4 - Ninja
    • Visual Studo 12 2013 Win64
  • Next it will show some errors.
  • Just change the "ARCH" variable to "DESKTOP_WINDOWS".
  • Hit the "configure" button again. It should succeed.
  • Now use visual studio or eclipse to open the generated project files in the "nodegraphsoftware-build" directory.
