Lets learn how to configure Crynn for use.

Crynn is a static library. To use it, you must statically link it to your project in Visual Studio.

As of now, Crynn only supports building to Visual Studio. VS2019 is recommended. Previous versions of Visual Studio have not been tested.

Downloading Crynn:

To get started, you will need a copy of the Crynn source. If you have Git installed, you can download Crynn by running this command in the console: git clone https://github.com/wmcnamara/crynn.git --recursive

Make sure you recursively clone the repository. The dependencies for Crynn are in the lib folder.

Building Crynn:

Crynn previously supported Premake for building the engine, but now only supports building for Visual Studio.

You can download Visual Studio here. Visual Studio 2019 is officially recommended.

Once everything is installed, you can follow these steps to build Crynn:

  1. Clone Crynn
  2. Open Crynn.sln in Visual Studio
  3. Right click the Crynn solution in the solution explorer, and select build.

The next tutorial will cover project creation.
