  • I use x86_64-15.2.0-release-win32-seh-msvcrt-rt_v13-rev0.7z
  • Add the bin folder to your environment path
  • Mine is C:\mingw64\bin
  • Pull the repository
  • Go into src cd src
  • To build the exe in debug mode, run:
  • go build -tags="debug,editor" -o ../kaiju.exe ./
  • To build the exe, run:
  • go build -ldflags="-s -w" -tags="editor" -o ../kaiju.exe ./

Linux development

  • Ensure you've got gcc installed
  • Ensure you've got the X11 libs installed (xlib)
  • Pull the repository
  • Go into src cd src
  • To build the exe in debug mode, run:
  • go build -tags="debug,editor" -o ../kaiju ./
  • To build the exe, run:
  • go build -ldflags="-s -w" -tags="editor" -o ../kaiju ./

Building Soloud

Currently the engine uses Soloud for playing music and sound effects. Below are instructions on how to build the library for the engine.

Soloud Windows

git clone https://github.com/jarikomppa/soloud.git
cd soloud
cd contrib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. -DSOLOUD_BACKEND_SDL2=OFF -DSOLOUD_BACKEND_WASAPI=ON -DSOLOUD_C_API=ON
cmake --build . --config Release

Soloud Linux

git clone https://github.com/jarikomppa/soloud.git
cd soloud
cd contrib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" -DSOLOUD_BACKEND_SDL2=OFF -DSOLOUD_BACKEND_ALSA=ON -DSOLOUD_C_API=ON
cmake --build . --config Release

Soloud Android (on Windows)

git clone https://github.com/jarikomppa/soloud.git
cd soloud
cd contrib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=%NDK_HOME%/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-21 -DANDROID_STL=c++_static -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSOLLOUD_OPENSLES=1 -DSOLLOUD_STATIC=1 -DSOLLOUD_BUILD_DEMOS=0 -DSOLOUD_BACKEND_SDL2=OFF -DSOLOUD_C_API=ON
cmake --build . --config Release

Compiling Android

To compile for android, you can go to the engine root folder and run: 

go run src/generators/engine_builds/engine_builds_android/main.go
