Compiling on Linux

Installing dependencies

Install openssl and sdl2 (with headers) via your distro's package manager. (Packages with headers generally end with -dev)

Compiling

Compile and run:

cargo run --release

Just compile:

cargo build --release

Compiling on OS X

Installing dependencies

Compiling Steven requires a working rust installation(currently only nightly), openssl and sdl2, installing this is easiest with homebrew.

Installing multirust

The easiest way to install a nightly version of rust is probably by using multirust, to install multirust issue the command:

brew install multirust

Set the default rust version:

multirust default nightly

Installing dependencies with homebrew

To install openssl and sdl2 issue these commands:

brew install sdl2
brew install openssl

Older versions of OS X comes with a older version of openssl while El Capitan and newer does not come with openssl at all, compiling steven with older OS X versions would most likely work without installing the openssl library(and using the OPENSSL_ environment variables) but I would recommend installing it anyway.

TODO: Instructions without homebrew

Compiling

To compile steven you can either use this simple bash script to set the environment variables so the compiler can find the required libraries and run ./scriptname.sh build --release to compile or ./scriptname.sh run --release to run:

#!/bin/bash
export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib
cargo "$@"

or add the variables directly to the command:

LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib" OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib cargo build --release

Note: If you're not using homebrew you probably don't need to set the environment variables.

Compiling on Windows (Mingw + MSYS2)

Installing dependencies

Follow the instructions at https://msys2.github.io to install msys and mingw, when thats done you want to install the dependencies for steven and multirust:

pacman -S git tar mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

Clone the git repo:

git clone git@github.com:Thinkofname/steven-rust.git

When thats done follow the instructions to install multirust from here.
Then change into the directory and then set multirust to use nightly for the project.

multirust override nightly

Compiling

Compile and run:

cargo run --release

Just compile:

cargo build --release
