- Requires Visual Studio 2013.
- Use included Engine.sln solution file.
- Almost all libraries are statical linked.
- Not compatible with Windows XP (would need to switch 32-Bit builds to use v120_xp toolset and linker system 5.01.
- Engine can also be built in 64-Bit.
- Release-builds have high optimizations, SSE2 enabled and no debuginfo. Debug-builds the opposite.
- This package works with CLR (C++/CLI) enabled applications (see TEST app).
- All componentents are built using /MD (required for C++ CLI)
- You have to set your debugging WorkFolder to $(OutDir) (in project properties) to run the TEST app from VS directly (by pressing the Play button).
- The sources-structure (buildfiles, content) has been heavily adjusted from its original packages/downloads/checkouts. All dependencies have been ripped of any documentations and additional, unnecessary files.
- The TEST application is an mini executable to test whether everything links in OK. It's the only executable project in the solution.
- All solution projects can be built independently from each other (due to the fully statical linking), except for the TEST application, which depends on every single other one.
- Make sure to have a look at the /src/README/ subfolder
