Manually updating the external dependencies
We do our best to keep the build dependency repository up-to-date with the latest versions of the libraries within, as well as synced with any build requirement changes. If you want to build with a different version of a certain library, however, you can fetch the relevant files at the links below:
Boost: Do note that you will need to build the necessary Boost libraries yourself. See the [instructions]#updating-boost-libraries) in the dependency repository for details.
SDL 2: You'll want the "GCC 32/64-bit" Development Libraries.
SDL_Image: Again, you'll want the "GCC 32/64-bit" Development Libraries.
SDL_Mixer: Again, you'll want the "GCC 32/64-bit" Development Libraries.
SDL_ttf: Again, you'll want the "GCC 32/64-bit" Development Libraries.
The other libraries require complicated compilation procedures too in-depth to document here.
Updating Boost libraries
Download and unpack the source of the libraries zlib, libbzip2, boost (version 1.64 or 1.68 preferred
- Bzip2 http://www.bzip.org/downloads.html
- Boost http://www.boost.org/users/download/
- Zlib http://www.zlib.net/
Open cmd, go to the Boost directory and type (with the correct paths of the other two libraries):
bootstrap gcc
Then run this command:
.\b2 -sZLIB_SOURCE=..\zlib-1.2.11 -sBZIP2_SOURCE=..\bzip2-1.0.6 -j2 --with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-iostreams --with-locale --with-program_options --with-random --with-regex --with-system --with-thread --with-test --with-timer --toolset=gcc --layout=system variant=release address-model=32
Depending on your boost version, you may need to replace ..\ with the absolute paths to zlib and bzip.
If you have multiple versions of gcc, add --toolset=gcc-X.Y.Z with X.Y.Z being the target version number.
Separate the required subset of the Boost source:
Run this command for generate bcp.exe
.\b2 tools\bcp
Create include in same path what boost_... and run this command:
dist\bin\bcp.exe algorithm asio assign bimap container date_time dynamic_bitset exception filesystem iostreams iterator locale math mpl multi_array multi_index program_options ptr_container random range regex serialization system spirit test boost\nondet_random.hpp boost\fusion\include\define_struct.hpp ..\include
Replace the outdated files in 'cb/lib' with those from 'boost_.../stage/lib' and those in 'cb/include/boost' with the ones in 'boost_.../boost'.
