How to build vasaro from scratch

Vasaro is written in D programming language.
Do you know C++, Java, etc? D is like those, just better.

You can use any D compiler, but to get the best performance out of your machine you should probably download and install the latest ldc's release from https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases.

Vasaro depends on two libraries:

• SDL2
• GTK+3

Building instructions for macOS

Using homebrew (check this) is the easiest way:

brew install gtk+3 sdl2 ldc dub adwaita-icon-theme

Build:

dub --build=release-nobounds --compiler=ldc2

If you want to create a bundle and install vasaro:

/bin/sh ./createMacOSBundle.sh

Building instructions for Ubuntu/Debian

Please be sure to have the latest dmd version installed. Often official repositories have an outdated version.
For debian/ubuntu/mint/etc an unofficial apt repository is available with latest dmd compiler.

Install required dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libsdl2-dev  

Build:

dub --build=release-nobounds

Building instructions for Windows

On Windows console:

dub --build=release-nobounds --compiler=ldc2

Then extract this file into vasaro directory. Install this package to add gtk+3 library to your pc.

Planned features

A number of features are already planned: from bump mapping using a user-provided image to simple tasks such as loading & saving your vase project. Implementation of new features depends on the community interest and contribution.
