Building on Linux

Instructions

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/xmoto/xmoto
cd xmoto

# Build it
#
# Note: If you wish to install to a custom path (e.g. for development), use:
# -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path
# And when running the game, set the `XDG_DATA_DIRS` env variable (note the trailing `/`):
# XDG_DATA_DIRS=/some/path/share/ src/xmoto

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j"$(nproc)" # or -jN where N is the number of threads to use

# Install
make install
