Antkeeper Superbuild

This repository contains the build system and all dependencies required to build Antkeeper, a 3D ant colony simulation game.

Download

Download the Antkeeper superbuild repository and its Git submodules (excluding antkeeper-data):

git -c submodule."modules/antkeeper-data".update=none clone --recursive https://github.com/antkeeper/antkeeper-superbuild.git .

[!NOTE] The antkeeper-data submodule contains proprietary game data and is not publicly available. The game executable can be built without this submodule, but its data package is required to play Antkeeper. You can get a copy of the data package by purchasing Antkeeper at https://antkeeper.com/.

Configuration & Building

Windows

Building for Windows requires CMake and Visual Studio Build Tools.

Run the following commands in the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt to configure and build a 64-bit Windows release:

cmake -B build\win64 -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build\win64 --config Release

Linux

Building for Linux requires CMake, GCC, G++, and GNU Make.

Run the following commands to configure and build a 64-bit Linux release:

cmake -B build/linux64 -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build/linux64 --config Release

Running

After building, a standalone version of the application will be located somewhere in the bin directory according to the build type, build platform, and version string.

Distribution

The built application can be packaged into a distributable format with the following commands:

cmake --build build\win64 --target dist

or

cmake --build build/linux64 --target dist

The resulting package will be located in the dist directory.

Contributing

If any changes have been made to the submodules, commit those first. Each submodule can then be updated to their latest commits with the following command:

git -c submodule."modules/antkeeper-data".update=none submodule update --recursive --remote
