First install some necessary tools and download the tosu-gameoverlay based project.
1. Install Python. Version 3.9 to 3.11 is required.
2. Install platform-specific build tools.
- Linux: Currently supported distributions include Debian 10 (Buster), Ubuntu 18 (Bionic Beaver), and related, with minimum GCC version 7.5.0. Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit with GCC 11+ is recommended. Newer versions will likely also work but may not have been tested. Required packages include: build-essential, libgtk-3-dev.
- MacOS: Xcode 12.2 to 15.0 building on MacOS 10.15.4 (Catalina) or newer. The Xcode command-line tools must also be installed.
- Windows: Visual Studio 2022 building on Windows 10 or newer. Windows 10/11 64-bit is recommended.
CMake can be used to generate project files in many different formats.
To build the tosu-gameoverlay example applications using CMake:
1. Install CMake. Version 3.21 or newer is required.
2. Set the PYTHON_EXECUTABLE environment variable if required (watch for errors during the CMake generation step below).
3. Run CMake to download the CEF binary distribution from the Spotify automated builder and generate build files for your platform.
4. Build using platform build tools. For example, using the most recent tool versions on each platform:
cd /path/to/tosu-gameoverlay
# Create and enter the build directory.
mkdir build
cd build
# Run specific commands for:
# X86
# For building main CEF backend (including windows, engine, etc)
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDESKTOP=1 -DA64=0 -B build
# For building main CEF injection dll (includes CEF main back)
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDESKTOP=1 -DA64=0 -B build
# X64
# For building main CEF backend (including windows, engine, etc)
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDESKTOP=1 -DA64=1 -B build
# For building main CEF injection dll (includes CEF main back)
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDESKTOP=1 -DA64=1 -B build
CMake supports different generators on each platform. Run cmake --help to list all supported generators. !!We're using Ninja as our primary generator!!
Ninja is a cross-platform open-source tool for running fast builds using pre-installed platform toolchains (GNU, clang, Xcode or MSVC). See comments in the "third_party/cef/cef_binary_*/CMakeLists.txt" file for Ninja usage instructions.
do whatever you want with this shit...
