Preparing to build

Needless to say, this requires basic familiarity with Visual Studio, Command Prompt/PowerShell, and Windows in general.

Note: Both GmxGen and GmlCppExtFuncs are already set up in the VS solution so these steps are enough - you do not have to follow build-setup instructions from the repositories' READMEs.

Setting up GmxGen

  1. Install Haxe (make sure to install Neko VM!)
  2. Download the source code (or check out the git repository)
  3. Compile the program: haxe build-neko.hxml
  4. Create an executable: nekotools boot bin/GmxGen.n
  5. Copy bin/GmxGen.exe to a folder in your PATH (e.g. to the Haxe directory )

Setting up GmlCppExtFuncs

  1. (you should still have Haxe and Neko VM installed)
  2. Download the source code (or check out the git repository)
  3. Compile the program: haxe build.hxml
  4. Create an executable: nekotools boot bin/GmlCppExtFuncs.n
  5. Copy bin/GmlCppExtFuncs.exe to a folder in your PATH (e.g. to the Haxe directory )

Building the Windows .dll

Open the .sln in Visual Studio (VS2019 was used as of writing this), compile for x86 - Release and then x64 - Release.

If you have correctly set up GmxGen and GmlCppExtFuncs, the project will generate the autogen.gml files for GML<->C++ interop during pre-build and will copy and [re-]link files during post-build.

Building the Linux .so

Run build_linux.sh in native_cursor directory. This will place the updated .so in the GM project folder.

Building the HTML5 .js

Do haxe build.hxml in the project directory.

Updated .js will be placed in the GM project folder.
