Compiling on WSL Debian

Canary

Supported OS

• Windows 10
• Windows 11

1. Install the required software

The following command will install Git, CMake, a compiler and the libraries used by Canary.

Git will be used to download the source code, and CMake will be used to generate the build files.

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install git cmake build-essential autoconf libtool ca-certificates curl zip unzip tar pkg-config ninja-build ccache linux-headers-generic

Install vcpkg

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
cd ..

2. Download the source code

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/opentibiabr/canary.git
cd canary

3. Checkout nightly branch (optional)

git checkout main

4. Folder structure

.
├── canary
└── vcpkg

5. Configure and build

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake .. --preset linux-release
cmake --build linux-release

-- Running vcpkg install

This step will take a long time on the first run, as it needs to download and install all the dependencies, so be patient!
