Get the Ryzom Core Repository

Browse to a directory where you want to build your project. Clone the Ryzom Core repository from GitHub into a ryzomcore subdirectory.

git clone https://github.com/ryzom/ryzomcore.git

Build Project

Generate Build Project with CMake

Create a build directory under the ryzomcore repository folder and navigate to it.

cd ryzomcore
mkdir build
cd build

Run CMake with the project folder, tools, samples, Assimp, and static drivers set to ON, and MFC, Qt, Ryzom, NeLNS, and Snowballs set to OFF. Use Ninja as the generator.

cmake -G "Ninja" -DWITH_NEL_TOOLS=ON -DWITH_NEL_SAMPLES=ON -DWITH_ASSIMP=ON -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_MFC=OFF -DWITH_QT=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM=OFF -DWITH_NELNS=OFF -DWITH_SNOWBALLS=OFF -DWITH_EXTERNAL=OFF -DWITH_STATIC_LIBXML2=OFF -DWITH_STATIC_CURL=OFF -DWITH_STATIC_DRIVERS=ON -DWITH_LUA51=OFF -DWITH_LUA52=ON ..

Build the Project

To build the project, simply run the Ninja command from the build folder.

ninja
