Setting up the tools you need to work on F.E.I.S.

Debian-ish Linux

I just want to compile

Install the big general "I'm a real C/C++ dev !" package.

$ sudo apt install build-essential

Install meson (the build system). I recommend doing so via python's pip to get a more up-to-date version than what your distro packages might have

$ pip install meson

Unfortunately this also means meson will not come with ninja so we need to install it ourselves :

$ sudo apt install ninja-build

Install SFML

sudo apt install libsfml-dev

Then checkout this page for instructions on how to compile

I also want to contribute some code

Install clang-format

$ sudo apt install clang-format

Windows

MSYS2

MSYS2 is the only windows compiling thingy I bother looking into nowadays, there has to be a way to adapt everything to other toolchains, but I didn't bother learning anything on this yet. I need help on this, reach out if you feel like you could give me a hand.

Installing MSYS2 is pretty simple. Follow their instructions

Once you're done pacman -Syuing and pacman -Suing your system, open a new MSYS2 MSYS terminal and install the required packages :

$ pacman -S \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-meson \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-sfml \
    mingw-w64-x86_64-boost
