ActorX - Unreal Actor Exporter
==============================
Building the source code
------------------------
We are using own build system to compile ActorX. You may find a Perl script in `./genmake`. This script
generates makefiles from some human-friendly project format. After that you may build generated makefile
using `nmake` for Visual Studio or `make` for gcc.
There's a build script which iterates over all available SDKs and issues build for all available SDK platofrms.
This script could be found in `./build.sh`
ActorX is compiled using Visual Studio. Currently build is performed with Visual C++ 2019, but in theory
almost all Visual Studio versions should be supported (perhaps except Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual C++ 2001).
Build system utilizes GNU Tools for building, in particular - Bash and Perl. I've packaged Windows versions
of such tools which was a part of [MinGW/MSYS project](http://www.mingw.org/). You get may everything you need
for a build [here](https://github.com/gildor2/UModel/releases). This page contains **BuildTools.zip**. You should
download it and extract into some directory, let's say to *C:\BuildTools*. After that, put *C:\BuildTools\bin*
to the system *PATH* variable. Also it is possible to create a batch file which will temporarily tune *PATH* and
then execute build script. Here's an example of such file:
@echo off
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\BuildTools\bin
bash build.sh
To launch a build process without a batch, simply execute
bash build.sh
This command line will issue building ActorX plugin for all available supported SDKs. If you want to build a particular
version, use this command line format:
bash build.sh
(see description of SDK_Ver format below)
SDK
---
SDK are not distributed for legal reasons. You should download them from corresponding developer's sites and place
under /SDK directory (relative to the project's root). Directory layout for x86/x64 mixed platofrms is:
/SDK
/
/include
/lib
/x64
/lib
` ::= (Max|Maya)(Year)[_x64]`
All includes goes to `/include`, x86 libraries to `/lib`, x64 libraries to `/x64/lib`.
For x64-only SDK's, use the following layout:
/SDK
/Max2014_x64
/include
/lib
All libraries should go to the `/lib` directory. Suffix `_x64` of SDK's directory name is required.
Build script is intended to work with Max and Maya versions starting from 2012 year, but it should work well with older
versions too.
