Compiling Teeworlds on Windows

IMPORTANT NOTE: SDL and Freetype libs are not shipped with Teeworlds 0.7.x. You must download them separately and place them in the other\ folder.

Q: What is bam?

Bam is the build system made by matricks used in Teeworlds.

Setup (Using Microsoft Tools)

  1. Download and install Visual Studio 2017 Community.

Windows x64

Setup

  1. Download and unzip Teeworlds source or Teeworlds latest source
  2. Download and install Python 3.x
  3. Download and unzip bam to teeworlds-version\bam
    • Run make_win64_msvc.bat to compile bam
    • Note: Bam does not recognise Visual Studio 2017. As a workaround, to compile bam, copy line 52 to end from make_win64_msvc.bat and paste it in the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt
  4. Download and unzip SDL 2.0.8
    • Copy include and lib to teeworlds-version\other\sdl
    • Copy SDL2.lib and SDL2main.lib from teeworlds-version\other\sdl\lib\x64 in the root directoryteeworlds-version
  5. Download and unzip Freetype
    • Copy include, win64 and win32 to teeworlds-version\other\freetype
    • Copy freetype.lib from teeworlds-version\other\freetype\win64 in the root directoryteeworlds-version

Compiling

  1. Run the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt (64Bit) from the start menu.
  2. cd teeworlds-version
    • Changes to the teeworlds source directory
  3. .\bam\bam config
    • Runs bam configuration
  4. .\bam\bam conf=release
    • Compiles teeworlds (Client and Server)
    • conf=debug will build the debug version
    • Available targets for release and debug:
      • game(default)
      • server
      • client
      • content
      • masterserver
      • tools
    • To build the tools and master server in release mode use the following arguments:
      • conf=release tools masterserver
    • Flag -f will force a recompile
  5. The compiled game is located at teeworlds-version\build\x64\
  6. To start your compiled game, you need SDL2.dll and freetype.dll. Copy them from teeworlds-version\other\sdl\lib\x64 and teeworlds-version\other\freetype\win64 into teeworlds-version\build\x64.

Windows x86

Setup

  1. Download and unzip Teeworlds source or Teeworlds latest source
  2. Download and install Python 3.x
  3. Download and unzip bam to teeworlds-version\bam
    • Run make_win32_msvc.bat to compile bam
    • Note: Bam does not recognise Visual Studio 2017. As a workaround, to compile bam, copy line 38 to end from make_win32_msvc.bat and paste it in the x86 Native Tools Command Prompt
  4. Download and unzip SDL 2.0.8
    • Copy include and lib to teeworlds-version\other\sdl
    • Copy SDL2.lib and SDL2main.lib from teeworlds-version\other\sdl\lib\x86 in the root directoryteeworlds-version
  5. Download and unzip Freetype
    • Copy include, win64 and win32 to teeworlds-version\other\freetype
    • Copy freetype.lib from teeworlds-version\other\freetype\win32 in the root directoryteeworlds-version

Compiling

  1. Run the x86 Native Tools Command Prompt (32Bit) from the start menu.
  2. cd teeworlds-version
    • Changes to the teeworlds source directory
  3. .\bam\bam config
    • Runs bam configuration
  4. .\bam\bam conf=release
    • Compiles teeworlds (Client and Server)
    • conf=debug will build the debug version
    • Available targets for release and debug:
      • game(default)
      • server
      • client
      • content
      • masterserver
      • tools
    • To build the tools and master server in release mode use the following arguments:
      • conf=release tools masterserver
    • Flag -f will force a recompile
  5. The compiled game is located at teeworlds-version\build\x86\
  6. To start your compiled game, you need SDL2.dll and freetype.dll. Copy them from teeworlds-version\other\sdl\lib\x86 and teeworlds-version\other\freetype\win32 into teeworlds-version\build\x86.

For Teeworlds v0.6.x and earlier

  1. cd teeworlds-version
    • Changes to the teeworlds source directory
  2. .\bam\bam release
    • Compiles teeworlds (Client and Server)
    • Available targets for release and debug:
      • release (for all in release mode)
      • debug (for all in debug mode)
      • server_release
      • server_debug
      • client_release
      • client_debug
  3. The compiled game is located in teeworlds-version

Note: Teeworlds 0.5.2 and earlier requires python 2.x to compile. Python 3.x will not work. Python 3.x support is introduced with Teeworlds 0.6.0.

Note: If you are using bam 0.2.0 (needed for Teeworlds 0.5.2 and earlier) the bam binary will not be in the bam directory, but in bam/src. You will need to change the paths accordingly to that or copy/move the bam executable to the bam directory.
