TO DO: debugging help: cmake cant find boost, bison, flex, etc - BoogieHasFun/engine-sim GitHub Wiki
TO-DO: making website to download files from, see https://github.com/BoogieHasFun/github-boogiehasfun/tree/master for progress
Hello, welcome!
Before we start make sure before building engine-sim you have these installed:
- CMake: https://cmake.org/download/
- Boost: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.79.0/
- Win_Flex_Bison: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/files/win_flex_bison3-latest.zip/download
- SDL2: https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.22-VC.zip
- SDL2_Image: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/releases/download/release-2.6.1/SDL2_image-devel-2.6.1-VC.zip
Make sure all of these go in a folder of their own in the C:/ drive, this includes Flex and Bison
If CMake can't find boost then that probably means 1 of these 2 reasons: Either you downloaded the wrong Boost or Boost isn't added to your PATH
To get the correct boost, you download boost from here, i've only tested this on Visual Studio Community 2022 so im not sure if this works on older visual studio versions.
