Building the Engine (Windows)

1. Make sure you have CMake and Visual Studio 2022 installed with the MSVC compiler

2. Clone the repository (recursive to pull submodules):

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/BarisPozlu/Lypant-Engine

3. Go to the following directory:

   cd Lypant-Engine\build\windows\
   

4. Run the setup script to build dependencies:

   .\SetupLibraries.bat
   

5. Generate the Visual Studio solution:

   .\GenerateSolution.bat
   

6. Open the generated solution file and build with Visual Studio.

Building on Other Platforms

Even though a premake binary is not provided for non-Windows platforms, the build process is still similar:

1. Make sure you have Premake5 installed

2. Clone the repository with submodules.

3. Run the SetupLibraries script manually.

4. Run premake5 yourself to generate platform-specific project files:

   premake5 gmake2    # for Linux Makefiles
   premake5 xcode4    # for macOS
