@ -3,27 +3,15 @@ To build your raylib game for GNU/Linux you need to download raylib git reposito
This guide is for all GNU/Linux distros (I will use APT as package manager, for Debian based distros).
### Install basics and useful packages
You have to install GCC compilers, Make tool and git for downloading the raylib repository:
You will need a C99 compiler, make and git for downloading the raylib repository:
sudo apt install build-essential git
### Compile raylib source code
#### Install raylib dependencies
raylib requires GLFW3 (Windows and input management) and OpenAL Soft (audio system management). Just install them:
First we need to install some required libraries:
sudo apt install libopenal-dev
GLFW3 depends on some other libraries:
sudo apt install mesa-common-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev xorg-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglew-dev
Now, download GLFW3 from sources and build it. You also need cmake tool; if you don't have it, just do: `sudo apt install cmake`
wget https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/3.2.1/glfw-3.2.1.zip
unzip glfw-3.2.1.zip
cd glfw-3.2.1
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
sudo make install
sudo apt install libasound2-dev mesa-common-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev xorg-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
#### Build raylib using make
You can compile three different types of raylib library:

In case any dependencies are missing, cmake will tell you.
### Link raylib with system GLFW
Instead of using the embedded GLFW, you can download GLFW3 and build it from source, for which you will need cmake; if you don't have it, just do: `sudo apt install cmake`
wget https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/3.2.1/glfw-3.2.1.zip
unzip glfw-3.2.1.zip
cd glfw-3.2.1
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
sudo make install
Now with GLFW installed, you may build raylib while specifying `USE_EXTERNAL_GLFW`:
```
make USE_EXTERNAL_GLFW=TRUE
# or
cmake -DUSE_EXTERNAL_GLFW=ON
```
