Thanks for checking out the Moai source code. Here's the scoop.
Linux CI: 
Moai SDK is an open source game framework for quickly developing great mobile games.
You can work in Lua or C++, and Moai SDK runs on multiple platforms including iOS, Android, Chrome, Windows, Mac and Linux.
Please clone the source in the following way.
git clone https://github.com/moai/moai-dev.git
cd moai-dev
git submodule init
git submodule update
Tools needed to build the MOAI SDK.
- Android SDK
- Android NDK (32bit Only, r8e or earlier)
- Java SE 6
- Ant 1.9
- CMake 2.8.11
- Ruby 1.9
- Visual Studio 2010 (Windows only)
- XCode 4 or 5 (Mac only)
- MinGW64 TCC (Windows only, needed for android luajit support or can build mingw version of moai)
- Emscripten
The following tools are required to build the API documentation.
On Mac OSX some tools need to be installed with homebrew:
$ brew install xctool ios-sim cmake
cmake needs to be 3.3 on osx
On Mac OSX, Linux and Windows, Android studio version should be 1.4+ and Android ndk can be r10e+
Please set the following environment variables.
export MOAI_BIN=<install_path>/moai-dev/release/osx/host-sdl/bin
export MOAI_CONFIG=<install_path>/moai-dev/samples/config
export MOAI_BIN=<install_path>/moai-dev/release/linux/host-sdl/x64/bin
export MOAI_CONFIG=<install_path>/moai-dev/samples/config
set MOAI_BIN=<install_path>\moai-dev\release\win32\host-sdl\bin
set MOAI_CONFIG=<install_path>\moai-dev\samples\config
Please build according to the following procedure.
cd moai-dev
.\bin\build-win.bat
# Build
cd moai-dev
./bin/build-osx.sh
# Run
cd <sample_directory>
$MOAI_BIN/moai main.lua
cd moai-dev
./bin/build-ios.sh <lua_dir>
# Build
cd moai-dev
./bin/build-linux-sdl.sh
# Run
$MOAI_BIN/moai main.lua
# Build
export ANDROID_NDK=<path_to_android_ndk>
cd moai-dev
./bin/build-android.sh
# Edit Setting
cd release/android/host
vi settings-global.sh
vi settings-local.sh
# Run
./run-host.sh
#build
export EMSCRIPTEN_HOME=<path_to_emscripten_1.7.1>
cd moai-dev
./bin/build-html.sh
#run
<http-serve> cmake/build/host-template/www
#see src\host-html\readme.md for more info
Execute create-projects-win.bat in moai-dev\bin.
By default, this creates a Visual Studio 2012 solution in moai-dev\cmake\projects\vs2012. To generate project files for a different version of Visual Studio, specify your desired version (vs2008, vs2010, vs2012, or vs2013) as a command-line argument.
./bin/create-projects-ios.sh
open cmake/projects/moai-ios/moai.xcproj
./bin/create-projects-osx.sh
open cmake/projects/moai-osx/moai.xcproj
Go to the samples folder, which contains dozens of samples that can be run using one the hosts located in ant (Android), xcode (OSX and iOS), or Visual Studio (Windows).
One of our priorities is to build richer samples for Moai developers, so if you'd like to see a particular code sample, let us know by posting in the Moai forums.
