Building without Nix

If you prefer not to use Nix, run the start-<platform>.sh scripts under the scripts folder directly. These are the same build entry points the Nix wrappers invoke — the difference is that you are responsible for installing the platform-specific dependencies and for providing a compatible toolchain.

Android

Install the Android SDK and NDK, then set the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT environment variables before running the script.

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=<Android SDK Path>
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=<Android NDK Path>
./scripts/start-android.sh

iOS / iPadOS

Install Xcode (with its command-line tools), then run:

./scripts/start-ios.sh

Linux

Install a C/C++ build toolchain and the required build tools (compilers, Autotools, pkg-config, etc.), then run:

./scripts/start-linux.sh

macOS

Install Xcode (with its command-line tools), then run:

./scripts/start-macos.sh

tvOS

Install Xcode (with its command-line tools), then run:

./scripts/start-tvos.sh

visionOS

Install Xcode (with its command-line tools), then run:

./scripts/start-visionos.sh

Web

Install Emscripten, CMake and the required host build tools, then run:

./scripts/start-web.sh

The start-<platform>.sh scripts accept the same build options as the Nix wrappers (minus the -p/--profile argument). Run any of them with --help to see the available options.
