I want to start contributing to wesnoth, but I don't know about building environments.

Get help with compiling or installing the game, and discuss announcements of new official releases.

I want to start contributing to wesnoth, but I don't know about building environments.

Post by badentry »

Could someone please help me with the environments? Like, I have vs2022 and Cmake installed on my pc, am I ready to build the game? I've done some work in similar projects using C++ like minetest, do I already have the env I need to build?

If not, what else should I install by VS installer? like options or similar things. A screenshot will also be helpful to me.

As long as you have cmake support in Visual Studio, you should be able to just open the git tree with VS and it'll start building the vcpkg dependencies, then click the Build button to compile Wesnoth.
