Building the Orx library on Linux with Code::Blocks
You can use Code::Blocks on Linux in order to build the Orx library. I will assume that you have covered the step at [coming soon!] to set up a development environment on Linux.
Downloading Code::Blocks for Linux
If you don't have Code::Blocks yet, you can download from here: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries#linux
Building Orx
Launch Code::Blocks. If this is the first time you have launched it, you will be asked what compiler to use:
Use Code::Blocks to open the workspace at orx/code/build/linux/codeblocks:
Build the default config of Debug and 64-bit by selecting the Build workspace menu from the Build menu.
Confirm the output of the build to ensure everything built correctly:
Now to change from the Debug|x64 build to the Profile|x64 build on the Workspace tab:
Then build again:
Finally, switch to the Release|x64 configuration and build again.
Finding the Orx libraries
These are saved to the orx/code/lib/dynamic folder.
Open a terminal window and cd to the above folder, or use a file manager.
You can see the liborx.so, liborxd.so and the liborxp.so versions.
Well done. You have compiled the Orx library which can now be used in your own game projects.
Now we are ready to make a game project of our own.
