### Prerequisites
If your CPU is x86 compatible and you're on Windows or Linux, we are building 32-bit code by default. This was done to maintain compatibility with Steam releases of Half-Life and based on it's engine games.
Even if Xash3D FWGS does support targetting 64-bit, you can't load games without recompiling them from source code!

#### GNU/Linux
##### Debian/Ubuntu
* Enable i386 on your system, if you're compiling 32-bit engine on amd64. If not, skip this
* For 32-bit engine on 64-bit x86 operating system:
* Enable i386 on your system: `$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`.
* Install development tools: `$ sudo apt install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib python libsdl2-dev:i386 libfontconfig-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 libopus-dev:i386 libbz2-dev:i386`.
* Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point at 32-bit libraries: `$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig`.
`$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`
* Install development tools
* For 32-bit engine on amd64: \
`$ sudo apt install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib python libsdl2-dev:i386 libfontconfig-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 libopus-dev:i386 libbz2-dev:i386`
* For everything else: \
`$ sudo apt install build-essential python libsdl2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev libopus-dev libbz2-dev`
* Clone this repostory:
`$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`
* For non-x86 systems:
* Install development tools: `$ sudo apt install build-essential python libsdl2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev libopus-dev libbz2-dev`.
* Clone this repostory: `$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs`.
##### RedHat/Fedora
* For 32-bit engine on 64-bit x86 operating system:
* Install development tools: `$ sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel.i686 SDL2-devel.i686 opus-devel.i686 fontconfig-devel.i686 freetype-devel.i686 bzip2-devel.i686`.
* Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point at 32-bit libraries: `$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig`.
* For non-x86 systems:
* Install development tools: `$ sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ SDL2-devel opus-devel fontconfig-devel freetype-devel bzip2-devel`.

### Building
#### Windows (Visual Studio)
0) Open command line
0) Open command line.
1) Navigate to `xash3d-fwgs` directory.
2) Carefully examine which build options are available: `waf --help`
3) Configure build: `waf configure -T release --sdl2=c:/path/to/SDL2`
4) Compile: `waf build`
5) Install: `waf install --destdir=c:/path/to/any/output/directory`
2) (optional) Examine which build options are available: `waf --help`.
3) Configure build: `waf configure --sdl2=c:/path/to/SDL2`.
4) Compile: `waf build`.
5) Install: `waf install --destdir=c:/path/to/any/output/directory`.
#### Linux
If compiling 32-bit on amd64, you may need to supply `export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig` prior to running configure.
If compiling 32-bit on amd64, make sure `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` from the previous step is set correctly, prior to running configure.
0) Examine which build options are available: `./waf --help`
1) Configure build: `./waf configure -T release`
(You need to pass `-8` to compile 64-bit engine on 64-bit x86 processor)
2) Compile: `./waf build`
3) Install(optional): `./waf install --destdir=/path/to/any/output/directory`
