#Disclaimer
WARNING: CMake build is NOT official and should be used for dev purposes ONLY.
For official way to build CataclysmDDA See:
- The latest instructions on how to compile can be found on our wiki.

#1. Prerequisites
You'll need to have these libraries and their development headers installed in order to build CataclysmDDA:
- General
cmake
>= 2.6.11gcc-libs
glibc
zlib
bzip2
- Optional
lua51
gettext
- Curses
ncurses
- Tiles
SDL
>= 2.0.0SDL_image
>= 2.0.0 (with PNG and JPEG support)SDL_mixer
>= 2.0.0 (with Ogg Vorbis support)SDL_ttf
>= 2.0.0freetype
- Sound
vorbis
libbz2
libz
libintl
iconv
#2. Build Environment
You can obtain the source code tarball for the latest version from git.
The following build systems are fully supported for compiling CataclysmDDA on Linux, BSD, and other Unix-like platforms:
CMake
>= 2.6.11
- Follow steps from here: https://msys2.github.io/
- Install CataclysmDDA build deps:
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain msys/git \
mingw-w64-i686-cmake \
mingw-w64-i686-SDL2_{image,mixer,ttf} \
mingw-w64-i686-lua51 \
ncurses-devel \
gettext-devel
This should get your environment set up to build console and tiles version of windows.
NOTE: This is only for 32bit builds. 64bit requires the x86_64 instead of the i686 packages listed above:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain msys/git \
mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_{image,mixer,ttf} \
mingw-w64-x86_64-lua51 \
ncurses-devel \
gettext-devel
NOTE: If you're trying to test with Jetbrains CLion, point to the cmake version in the msys32/mingw32 path instead of using the built in. This will let cmake detect the installed packages.
CMake has separate configuration and build steps. Configuration
is done using CMake itself, and the actual build is done using make
.
There are two ways to build CataclysmDDA with CMake: inside the source tree or outside of it. Out-of-source builds have the advantage that you can have multiple builds with different options from one source directory.
WARNING: Inside the source tree build is NOT supported.
To build CataclysmDDA out of source:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ make
To install CataclysmDDA after building (as root using su or sudo if necessary):
# make install
To change build options, you can either pass the options on the command line:
$ cmake .. -DOPTION_NAME=option_value
Or use either the ccmake
or cmake-gui
front-ends, which display all options
and their cached values on a console and graphical UI, respectively.
$ ccmake ..
$ cmake-gui ..
NOTE: For development purposes it is preferred to use MinGW Win64 Shell
or MinGW Win32 Shell
instead of MSYS2 Shell
. In other case, you will need to set PATH
variable manually.
For Mingw,MSYS,MSYS2 you should set Makefiles generator
Valid choices for MINGW/MSYS are:
- MSYS Makefiles
- MinGW Makefiles
Example:
# cd <Path-to-CataclysmDDA-Sources>
# mkdir build
# cd build
For MinGW32:
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" \
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make\
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc\
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=i686-w64-mingw32-g++\
-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH=/c/msys32/mingw32\
..
$ mingw32-make
For MinGW64:
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" \
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make\
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc\
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++\
-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH=/c/msys64/mingw64\
..
$ mingw32-make
Shared libraries:
If you got libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll not found
error you need to copy shared libraries
to directory with CataclysmDDA executables.
NOTE: For -DRELEASE=OFF
development builds, You can automate copy process with:
$ mingw32-make install
However, it likely will fail b/c you have different build environment setup :)
Currently known depends (Maybe outdated use ldd.exe to correct it for Your system)

A full list of options supported by CMake, you may either run the ccmake
or cmake-gui
front-ends, or run cmake
and open the generated CMakeCache.txt
from the build directory in a text editor.
$ cmake -DOPTION_NAME1=option_value1 [-DOPTION_NAME2=option_value2 [...]]
- CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=
<build type>
Selects a specific build configuration when compiling. release
produces
the default, optimized (-Os) build for regular use. debug
produces a
slower and larger unoptimized (-O0) build with full debug symbols, which is
often needed for obtaining detailed backtraces when reporting bugs.
NOTE: By default, CMake will produce debug
builds unless a different
configuration option is passed in the command line.
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=
<full path>
Installation prefix for binaries, resources, and documentation files.
- CURSES=
<boolean>
Build curses version.
- TILES=
<boolean>
Build graphical tileset version.
- SOUND=
<boolean>
Support for in-game sounds & music.
- LUA=
<boolean>
This enables Lua support. Needed only for full-fledged mods.
- USE_HOME_DIR=
<boolean>
Use user's home directory for save files.
- LOCALIZE=
<boolean>
Support for language localizations. Also enable UTF support.
- DYNAMIC_LINKING=
<boolean>
Use dynamic linking. Or use static to remove MinGW dependency instead.
- LANGUAGES=
<str>
Compile localization files for specified languages. Example:
-DLANGUAGES="cs;de;el;es_AR;es_ES"
- LUA_BINARY=
<str>
Override default Lua binary name or path. You can try to use luajit
for extra speed.
- GIT_BINARY=
<str>
Override default Git binary name or path.
