Dockerized build context for the cross-platform build of StarCraft BroodWar and BWAPI bots. This image ships the following dependencies:
- RapidJSON 1.1
- BWAPI v4.1.2
- BWTA v2.2
1. Install docker
The build environment is shipped within a docker image. The build process is runnable from any system that supports docker.
2. Pull the image lionax/docker-botcraft
This image is based on the dockcross/dockcross-x86 image with commonly used the dependencies already built into the image.
3. Setup the compiler script
You receive a compile script by running the command (assuming you are in the bot directory):
$ docker run --rm lionax/docker-botcraft > ./compile-bot
$ chmod u+x ./compile-bot
This redirects a helper script within the image to the destination provided. Alternatively you can direct the output to /bin/build-bot if you want to execute the command in every folder you are in.
4. Run the compiler script
Go to the projects root directory and run:
$ ./compile-bot cmake -Bbuild -H.
$ ./compile-bot make -Cbuild
The first command generates the make project files while the second command build the project into the build/ directory. The process generates the bot.a and bot.dll library files, which can be used with BWAPI.
Note: Currently use-less until BWAPI has an cross-compile ready interface for DLL bots - waiting for it's great moment then... :)
