-NetRadiant is known to build and run properly on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows using MSYS2. NetRadiant is known to build on macOS using Homebrew, but can't display things properly without a modified GtkGLExt which is yet to be upstreamed, and issues are known. Windows build is known to work well on wine, which can be used as a fallback on macOS.

Linux bundle does not ship GTK (users are expected to have a working GTK environment with GtkGlExt installed).

+It's possible to build against GTK3 using the `-DGTK_TARGET=3` cmake option, but some problems may be encountered, see [GUI/GTK](https://gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant/-/issues?label_name[]=GUI%2FGTK3) issues. GTK2 remains recommended for now.
### Ubuntu:
If you use MSYS2 over SSH, add `mingw64` to the path this way (given you compile for 64 bit Windows, replace with `mingw32` if you target 32 bit Windows instead):
```sh
-export PATH="/mingw64/bin:${PATH}"`
+export PATH="/mingw64/bin:${PATH}"
```
Install the dependencies this way:
```sh
-pacman -S --needed base-devel git \
- mingw-w64-$(uname -m)-{ntldd-git,subversion,unzip,toolchain,cmake,make,gtk2,gtkglext,libwebp,minizip-git}
+pacman -S --needed base-devel git subversion unzip \
+ mingw-w64-$(uname -m)-{ntldd-git,toolchain,cmake,make,gtk2,gtkglext,libwebp,minizip-git}
```
Explicitely use `mingw-w64-x86_64-` or `mingw-w64-i686-` prefix instead of `mingw-w64-$(uname -m)` if you need to target a non-default architecture.
+### FreeBSD:
+
+```sh
+pkg install cmake gtkglext pkgconf minizip webp coreutils gsed git subversion wget unzip
+```
+
+If you plan to build a bundle, you also need to install `patchelf`
+
+
### macOS:
+Note: some dependencies of gtk+ seems to only be pulled with gtk+3, gtkglext seems to require libffi.
+
```sh
-brew install cmake gtkglext pkgconfig minizip webp coreutils gnu-sed
+brew install cmake glib gobject-introspection libffi gtk+ gtk+3 gtk-doc pkgconfig minizip webp coreutils gnu-sed wget sassc
brew link --force gettext
```
## Simple compilation
+It is required to first download the sources using `git` (do not use tarballs) and to have dependencies installed, see [Getting the sources](#getting-the-sources) and [Dependencies](#dependencies) above.

### Easy builder assistant

```sh

If everything went right, you'll find your netradiant build in `install/` subdirectory.

+If you need to build a debug build (to get help from a developer, for example), you can do it this way:
```sh
./easy-builder --debug
By default, build tools and compilers are using the `build/` directory as workspace.
+For supported system, bundling dependencies can be done this way:
+
+```sh
+./easy-builder -DBUNDLE_LIBRARIES=ON
+```
+
+Note: Always do bundling on a clean and fresh system without unrelated software installed.
+
## Advanced compilation
```sh
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc)
+cmake --install build
```
```sh
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc)
+cmake --install build
+```
+
+Note: macOS users need to build built-in GtkGLExt before building NetRadiant:
+
+```sh
+cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc) builtins
+cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S. -Bbuild
+cmake --build build -- -j$(nproc)
+cmake --install build
```
+
### Subsequent builds
The initial build will download the gamepacks and build NetRadiant and tools. If you frequently recompile you can skip downloading the gamepacks:
```sh
cmake --build build --target binaries -- -j$(nproc)
+cmake --install build
```
You should still periodically update gamepacks:
```sh
cmake --build build --target gamepacks
+cmake --install build
```
Do not build NetRadiant (default: `ON`, build netradiant graphical editor);
* `BUILD_TOOLS=OFF`
Do not build q3map2 and other tools (default: `ON`, build command line tools);
-* `BUILD_DAEMONMAP=OFF`
- Do not build daemonmap tool (default: `ON` if submodule is there, buils daemonmap navigation mesh generator);
* `BUILD_CRUNCH=OFF`
Disable crunch support (default: `ON` if submodule is there, enable crunch support);
* `RADIANT_ABOUTMSG="Custom build by $(whoami)"`
* `quake3` Compile all the Quake 3 tools:
- `q3map2` Compile the Quake 3 map compiler;
- `q3data` Compile the q3data tool;
- * `unvanquished` Compile all the Unvanquished tool: `daemonmap`, `q3map3`, `q4data`;
- - `daemonmap` Compile the daemonmap navigation mesh generator.
Type `make help` to get an exhaustive list of targets.
Options:
* `DOWNLOAD_GAMEPACKS=OFF`
- Do not automatically download the gamepack data on each compilation and do not install game packs already downloaded (default: `ON`);
+ Do not automatically download the gamepack data on each compilation and do not install already downloaded game packs (default: `ON`);
* `GAMEPACKS_LICENSE_LIST=all`

+ Download all gamepacks whatever their license (default: `free`, download free gamepacks, can be set to `none` to only filter by name);

Options:
* `BUNDLE_LIBRARIES=ON`
- Bundle libraries, only MSYS2 is supported at this time (default: `OFF`);
+ Bundle libraries, only Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and MSYS2 are supported at this time (default: `OFF`);
* `FHS_INSTALL=ON` (available on POSIX systems)

Also setup XDG mime and application support on Linux-like systems (default: `OFF`, install like in 1999);
* `install` Install files.

+cmake --install build
