Compiling bob's game

⚠️ The latest commit is currently broken since Bob is working on wrapping everything in shared_ptr, if you want a buildable commit, please change the project to the last working commit by running git reset --hard bd12292e037de0babb79b4106125df95d4d5436f in the project root directory.

This guide is for compiling straight from the bob's game repo. All of the modified files are in this repo.

Installing VS 2017

Bob claimed Visual Studio 2022 works with compiling bob's game, you may want to try that if you cannot find the download for Visual Studio 2017 Community.

  1. Download Visual Studio 2017 from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ (You may need a Microsoft account)
  2. Download "Visual Studio Community 2017 (version 15.9)."
  3. In the Visual Studio Installer make sure to install these:

Workloads:

  • Desktop development with C++

Individual components:

  • VC++ 2017 version 15.9 v14.16 latest v141 tools
  • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.15063.0) for Desktop C++ (x86 and x64)

Building bob's game for Windows

  1. Create a folder called workspace in C:\Users\Administrator.
  2. Clone bob's game using git clone https://github.com/bobsgamed/ok.git and rename it to bobsgame.
  3. Launch Visual Studio 2017 and login to your Microsoft account.
  4. Open the project with File > Open > Project/Solution.
  5. Open bobsgame.sln in C:\Users\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame.
  6. Set the release type from Debug to Release.
  7. Download boost from https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.64.0/source/boost_1_64_0.zip.
  8. Extract the boost_1_64_0 folder to C:\Users\Administrator\workspace.
  9. Head to Project > Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories.
  10. Replace F:\boost_1_64_0 with ..\boost_1_64_0. It should look like this:
.;.\lib;.\lib\glew-2.0.0\include;.\lib\SDL2-devel-2.0.5-VC\SDL2-2.0.5\include;.\lib\SDL2_ttf-devel-2.0.14-VC\SDL2_ttf-2.0.14\include;.\lib\SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.1-VC\SDL2_mixer-2.0.1\include;.\lib\SDL2_image-devel-2.0.1-VC\SDL2_image-2.0.1\include;.\lib\SDL2_net-devel-2.0.1-VC\SDL2_net-2.0.1\include;.\lib\SDL2_gfx-1.0.3;.\lib\soloud_20160109\include;.\lib\hyperic-sigar-1.6.4\sigar-bin\include;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\Foundation\include;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\JSON\include;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\Net\include;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\Util\include;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\XML\include;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\Zip\include;.\lib\enet-1.3.13\include;.\lib\zlib-1.2.8\include;.\lib\libzip-1.1.3\lib;.\lib\libzip-1.1.3\src;.\lib\zlib-1.2.8\contrib\minizip;.\lib\minilzo-2.09;.\lib\miniz-master;.\lib\cereal-master\include;..\boost_1_64_0;..\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib;.\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
  1. Click Apply then go to Linker.
  2. Go to Additional Library Directories and Replace F:\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib with ..\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib. It should look like this:
.\lib\glew-2.0.0\lib;.\lib\SDL2-devel-2.0.5-VC\SDL2-2.0.5\lib\x86;.\lib\SDL2_ttf-devel-2.0.14-VC\SDL2_ttf-2.0.14\lib\x86;.\lib\SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.1-VC\SDL2_mixer-2.0.1\lib\x86;.\lib\SDL2_image-devel-2.0.1-VC\SDL2_image-2.0.1\lib\x86;.\lib\SDL2_net-devel-2.0.1-VC\SDL2_net-2.0.1\lib\x86;.\lib\soloud_20160109\lib;.\lib\hyperic-sigar-1.6.4\sigar-bin\lib;.\lib\poco-1.7.8p3-all\_lib;.\lib\zlib-1.2.8\lib;.\lib\libzip-1.1.3\Release;..\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib;.\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\lib\windows\vs2010;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)
  1. Click Apply then OK.
  2. You need to compile GWEN and boost, follow the instructions below to compile them.
  3. Right click bobsgame in the Solution Explorer and click Build.
  4. Copy the _copy.bat in this repo to the bobsgame folder. It will make a bob's game folder on your desktop with all the files required.

Compiling GWEN

GWEN-Static

Skip over this section if you copied from this repository, but follow steps 4, 6, 7, 11 and 12.

  1. Head over to C:\Users\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\Projects and open a terminal there.
  2. Edit the Build.bat file and remove rem on the line where it says rem premake4 vs2010.
  3. A Visual Studio 2010 project should be created in C:\Users\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\Projects\windows\vs2010.
  4. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2017, it will ask you to retarget projects, make sure your Windows SDK version is 10.0.19041.0 and the Platform Toolset is Upgrade to v141. Click OK.
  5. Edit C:\Users\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\src\Platforms\gwen_platform_base.cpp and add #include <chrono>.
  6. Right click the GWEN-Static project and click "Properties".
  7. Go to General (or Advanced) > Character Set and select "Not Set". Apply and click OK.

TODO: Some way to do this without modifying file names and source.

  1. Rename src/Bootil/Base.cpp to src/Bootil/BBase.cpp and src/Bootil/Threads/Utility.cpp to src/Bootil/Threads/TUtility.cpp.
  2. Rename all references to these functions to these:
IsKeyDown -> LIsKeyDown
IsLeftMouseDown -> LIsLeftMouseDown
IsRightMouseDown -> LIsRightMouseDown
OnMouseMoved -> LOnMouseMoved
OnMouseClicked -> LOnMouseClicked
OnKeyEvent -> LOnKeyEvent
OnCanvasThink -> LOnCanvasThink
  1. Create a version.txt file and add a version number, it could be something like 3389. However, this is not required to run the game.
  2. Go to the release type and change it from Debug to Release.
  3. Right click the GWEN-Static project and click Build.
  4. The build should succeed and you should have a gwen_static.lib file in C:\Users\User\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\lib\windows\vs2010.

GWEN-Renderer-OPENGL_TruetypeFont

Skip this step if you copied from this repository, but build it still.

  1. Delete your GWEN.sln file in C:\Users\User\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\lib\windows\vs2010 and replace it with the one in the gwen folder with this guide.
  2. Copy the files Renderer-OpenGL_TruetypeFont.vcxproj, Renderer-OpenGL_TruetypeFont.vcxproj.filters, and Renderer-OpenGL_TruetypeFont.vcxproj.user from the gwen folder with this guide to C:\Users\User\Administrator\workspace\bobsgame\lib\GWEN-master\gwen\lib\windows\vs2010.
  3. Reload Visual Studio and build Renderer-OPENGL_TruetypeFont.

Compiling Boost

  1. Head to C:\Users\User\Administrator\workspace\boost_1_64_0.
  2. Open a terminal and run .\bootstrap.bat.
  3. Run .\b2 runtime-link=static until bootstrapping finishes. This may take a while, like it says, ...patience...
