Appendix F: Linux Installation and Setup

Environment Requirements

• Ubuntu 12.10+
• Cocos2d-x v3.0 (HERE)
• CMake 2.6+

Prerequisite

• Download cocos2d-x and unzip it. (maybe: ~/)

• Install dependencies. The dependencies are:

    libx11-dev
    libxmu-dev
    libglu1-mesa-dev
    libgl2ps-dev
    libxi-dev
    g++
    libzip-dev
    libpng12-dev
    libcurl4-gnutls-dev
    libfontconfig1-dev
    libsqlite3-dev
    libglew*-dev
    libssl-dev
  

If you are using Ubuntu/Debian, there is a shell script build/install-deps-linux.sh for you to install the dependences easily. Run commands below in terminal:

	$ cd $cocos2dx_root/build
	$ ./install-deps-linux.sh

Otherwise, you should install the dependencies manually.

Generate Makefile

Run cmake to generate makefile:

	$ mkdir linux-build
	$ cd linux-build
	$ cmake ../..

When cmake returns correctly, many files & folders will be generated in coocs2dx_root/build/linux-build

Compile

Run `make` to compile:

	$ make

Application will be generated in `cocos2dx_root/build/linux-build/bin/cpp-tests/` if compiled successfully.

Run

	$ cd bin/cpp-tests/
	$ ./cpp-tests
