Compiling

Preparation

Start with master as the primary branch.

Verify you're seeing tags:

>>> git tag
spring_bar_{BAR105}105.0-430-g2727993
spring_bar_{BAR105}105.1.1-1005-ga7ea1cc
spring_bar_{BAR105}105.1.1-1011-g325620e
spring_bar_{BAR105}105.1.1-1032-gf4d6126
spring_bar_{BAR105}105.1.1-1039-g895d540
spring_bar_{BAR105}105.1.1-1050-g5075cc0
...

If you aren't seeing these (often, when you've cloned your fork of the repository and not the upstream version), try the following:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/RecoilEngine
git fetch --all --tags

Make sure master is pointing to upstream master:

git checkout master
git branch -u upstream/master

Triggering a build

If you are just starting out and want to get an engine binary, we recommend using our Docker scripts documented in docker-build-v2/.

If you want to compile the engine without Docker to use a different compiler, to have a better setup with code completion in an IDE, etc., you might want to follow the building without Docker article.
