Fix the build instructions

Open hexagonrecursion opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I have managed to compile the game, despite incorrect build instructions and other difficulties.

  1. This three lines assume we are inside <colobot_repository>/build/ but we never changed into it:
cmake ../
make
colobot -datadir ../data
  1. There was no <colobot_repository>/build/bin/ directory. The executable was in <colobot_repository>/build/

Edit: building the game and getting it to run required a lot of trial-and-error (especially the dev branch). I added more complete build instructions to reduce the trial-and-error for future contributors.

Design philosophy:

Note: the instructions are missing a step: the installation of dependencies. I do not intend to add this step in this pull request.
