KwasTools

Library (kwaslib) and tools for video game modding.

Requirements

• CMake
• GCC/MinGW-w64 (For Windows, I recommend winlibs MSVCRT, but MSYS2 is also fine)
• git (Like above, Git for Windows or MSYS2)

This project does not support Visual Studio.

Building

Windows

$ git clone https://github.com/ThisKwasior/KwasTools
$ cd KwasTools
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -G"MinGW Makefiles"
$ mingw32-make -j 8

Linux/MSYS2

$ git clone https://github.com/ThisKwasior/KwasTools
$ cd KwasTools
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j 8

After compiling, CMake script will output binaries and libraries in the ./bin directory in the root of the repo.
