How to compile

Using Windows

• Wiki: Compiling on Windows using CMake and MinGW-w64
• Wiki: Compiling on Windows using CMake and Visual Studio 2019

Using Linux

• Wiki: Compiling on Linux

Using MacOS

• Dependencies:
  • A compiler with C++17 support (GCC >= 7.0 or clang >= 5.0)
  • git and CMake (>= 3.12.4)
  • Optional: ninja (much faster builds)
  • Check Homebrew for packages.
• Run cmake -B build . && cmake --build build; if you installed ninja above, add -GNinja before -B in the previous command.
• Run the client with ./build/openminer
• If you want a multiplayer game, run the server with ./build/openminer_server

Discussion

• Discord: join server
