The most common question I see on the internet is usually “how do I set my environment up”, This question usually is asked from someone using a Windows OS. It is a fair question to ask, and before VSCode, there was not a very obvious answer (IMO). Thankfully its 2022 now, and there’s plenty of options – these are how my Build environments are setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My windows setup is simple to manage, as 90-95% of it is handled for me with MSYS2<\/a> . It might be “cheating” but I found in the past having to manage all your libraries and header files across a bunch of folders on windows is a “bad time”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to get going are:
Install MSYS2
Install Compiler
install Libraries (SDL2, Vulkan, etc)
Setup Environment Variables<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have MSYS2 install, use pacman to install the remaining items you want\/need, I use the following packages for my SDL\/OPENGL projects:
# Compiler
mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb
# Libraries
mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL
mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2
mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_image
mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_mixer
mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_ttf
mingw-w64-x86_64-freetype
mingw-w64-x86_64-vulkan-headers<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Setup your Environment Variables search for “Edit Environment Variables for your Account” in the start menu and set the following variables (as your user or SYSTEM level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With those all set you should be able to start using gcc either manually in a terminal, or though VSCode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Mac build environment is simpler due to OS X providing us a compiler already (we have to install it, but it’s there). The high level view looks like this:
Install XCode + CLI tools (git)
Install Frameworks (SDL2, SDL2_Mixer)
Install Brew
Install Freetype Library<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To install XCode you can go to AppStore and install “development tools”. After going to the SDL2 website and grabbing the OSX files, I copy them to \/Library\/Frameworks\/ rather than my home Library folder. I wont go over how to install Brew <\/a>here, but once you have it you can brew install freetype2<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Linux, I use the local package manager to install gcc, gdb, and all the -devel packages for SDL2 , etc. Search the package manager if you cannot find the names for your Distro. It is the easiest and quickest to setup and get building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
