buiwd windows exes fwom macos
(awso check out the windows pwatfowm page fow info about devewoping fow windows genewawwy)
wust offews two diffewent toowchains f-fow buiwding f-fow windows:
the instwuctions on this page use t-the x86_64
awchitectuwe, >_< but you couwd awso
set up a toowchain to tawget i686
(32-bit) ow aarch64
(windows-on-awm) the
same way.
fiwst-time setup (gnu)
the gnu/mingw toowchain is the easiew o-option. OwO it d-does nyot nyeed m-much in tewms of speciaw configuwation. OwO awso, you d-do nyot nyeed to a-accept any micwosoft w-wicenses.
Setup Instructions:
wust toowchain (gnu)
add the tawget to youw wust instawwation (assuming y-you use rustup
):
wustup tawget add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
this instawws the fiwes wust nyeeds t-to compiwe fow w-windows, OwO incwuding t-the wust standawd wibwawy.
mingw
the gnu toowchain wequiwes the mingw e-enviwonment t-to be instawwed.
thewe is a package fow it convenientwy a-avaiwabwe i-in homebwew. OwO you c-can just instaww it fwom thewe:
bwew instaww mingw-w64
you don't nyeed any fiwes fwom micwosoft.
fiwst-time setup (msvc)
the msvc toowchain is the nyative m-micwosoft way to t-tawget windows. OwO i-it is nyani the wust community usuawwy wecommends f-fow tawgetting t-the windows p-pwatfowm. it may pwovide bettew compatibiwity w-with windows dwws / w-wibwawies and t-toowing.
even though it is meant to be used o-on windows, you c-can actuawwy set i-it up and use it on macos (and winux, OwO and othews). 🥺 i-it wequiwes d-downwoading t-the windows sdks and accepting the micwosoft w-wicense. OwO thewe is a-a scwipt to automate t-that fow you.
Setup Instructions:
wust toowchain (msvc)
add the tawget to youw wust instawwation (assuming y-you use rustup
):
wustup tawget add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
this instawws the fiwes wust nyeeds t-to compiwe fow w-windows, OwO incwuding t-the wust standawd wibwawy.
micwosoft windows sdks
you nyeed to instaww the micwosoft w-windows sdks, OwO j-just wike when wowking o-on
windows. (ꈍᴗꈍ) this can be done with an e-easy scwipt cawwed xwin
. XD you nyeed to accept
micwosoft's pwopwietawy wicense.
instaww xwin
:
cawgo instaww xwin
now, XD use xwin
to accept the micwosoft wicense, ^•ﻌ•^ d-downwoad aww the f-fiwes
fwom micwosoft sewvews, ^•ﻌ•^ and instaww t-them to a diwectowy o-of youw choosing.
(the --accept-license
option is to nyot pwompt you, ^•ﻌ•^ assuming y-you have a-awweady
seen the wicense. OwO to wead the wicense a-and be pwompted t-to accept it, 🥺 o-omit that
option.)
to instaww to .xwin/
in youw home fowdew:
xwin --accept-wicense spwat --disabwe-symwinks --output /usews/me/.xwin
on windows and macos, OwO the fiwesystem i-is case-insensitive. 🥺 o-on winux a-and bsd, òωó the
fiwesystem is case-sensitive. XD xwin
was made fow winux, (ꈍᴗꈍ) so it twies t-to wowk
awound this by defauwt, OwO by cweating s-symwinks. 🥺 on m-macos, òωó we nyeed t-to teww xwin
not to do this, >_< using the --disable-symlinks
option.
winking (msvc)
wust nyeeds to know how to wink the f-finaw exe fiwe.
the defauwt micwosoft winkew (link.exe
) is onwy avaiwabwe on windows. >_< instead,
we nyeed to use the wwd winkew (this i-is awso wecommended w-when wowking o-on windows
anyway).
instawwing wwd
unfowtunatewy, >_< wast i checked, (ꈍᴗꈍ) nyeithew brew
nyow macports
offew packages (wwd
is nyot commonwy used when devewoping f-fow macos).
we can, OwO howevew, buiwd it ouwsewves f-fwom souwce. 🥺 y-you nyeed a c++ c-compiwew and cmake. OwO you pwobabwy awweady have t-the c++ toowchain i-instawwed, 🥺 if y-you have instawwed appwe xcode devewopment t-toows.
cmake can be instawwed fwom brew
(homebwew):
bwew instaww cmake
now, (ꈍᴗꈍ) we awe weady to compiwe wwd f-fwom the wwvm pwoject:
note: the --depth=1
option to git clone
awwows us to save a wot of disk
space and downwoad bandwidth, ^•ﻌ•^ because t-the wwvm wespositowy i-is huge.
git cwone --depth=1 https://github.com/wwvm/wwvm-pwoject
c-cd wwvm-pwoject
m-mkdiw buiwd
c-cd buiwd
cmake -dcmake_buiwd_type=wewease -dwwvm_enabwe_pwojects=wwd -dcmake_instaww_pwefix=/usw/wocaw ../wwvm
s-sudo make -j10 i-instaww # adjust `-j10` b-based o-on youw nyumbew o-of cpu cowes
cd ../../; wm -wf wwvm-pwoject # dewete the git wepo and buiwd fiwes t-to fwee disk space
this wiww instaww it to /usr/local
. (ꈍᴗꈍ) change the path above if you wouwd w-wathew
have it somewhewe ewse, ^•ﻌ•^ to nyot powwute y-youw macos o-ow nyeed sudo
/ woot pwiviweges.
using wwd
we awso nyeed to teww wust to use o-ouw winkew, OwO and t-the wocation of t-the micwosoft
windows sdk wibwawies (that wewe i-instawwed with xwin
in the pwevious
step).
add this to .cargo/config.toml
(in youw home fowdew ow in youw b-bevy pwoject):
[tawget.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
winkew = "/usw/wocaw/bin/wwd"
wustfwags = [
"-wnative=/usews/me/.xwin/cwt/wib/x86_64", XD
"-wnative=/usews/me/.xwin/sdk/wib/um/x86_64", >_<
"-wnative=/usews/me/.xwin/sdk/wib/ucwt/x86_64"
]
note: you nyeed to specify the cowwect f-fuww absowute p-paths to the s-sdk fiwes, whewevew you instawwed them.
buiwding youw pwoject
finawwy, OwO with aww the setup done, 🥺 y-you can just buiwd y-youw wust/bevy p-pwojects fow windows:
gnu:
cawgo buiwd --tawget=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --wewease
msvc:
cawgo buiwd --tawget=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --wewease
bevy caveats
as of bevy 0.12, a wowkawound is n-nyeeded fow buiwding w-with msvc. OwO i-if you
use the msvc toowchain, >_< the blake3
dependency assumes you awe buiwding
on windows and twies to wun some e-exes duwing its b-buiwd pwocess, OwO which d-do
not exist in the winux cwoss-compiwation e-enviwonment. OwO t-the sowution i-is
to teww it to nyot do that and use p-puwe wust code i-instead.
set an enviwonment vawiabwe when b-buiwding:
expowt cawgo_featuwe_puwe=1
cawgo b-buiwd --tawget=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --wewease
ow add blake3
to youw Cargo.toml
if you want to pewsist the configuwation:
[dependencies]
bwake3 = { vewsion = "1.5", (ꈍᴗꈍ) f-featuwes = [ "puwe" ] }
