Build Requirements

  • Mac OS X 10.7+, Xcode 4.6+
  • or Ubuntu 12.10+, CMake 2.6+

  • iOS 5.0+ for iPhone / iPad games
  • Android 2.3+ for Android games
  • OS X v10.6+ for Mac games
  • Windows 7+ for Win games

Running Tests

Select the test you want from Xcode Scheme chooser.

  • For OS X / iOS
$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ open samples.xcodeproj
  • For Linux
$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ ./install-deps-linux.sh
$ cmake ..
$ make

  You may meet building errors when building libGLFW.so. It is because libGL.so directs to an error target, 
  you should make it to direct to a correct one. `install-deps-linux.sh` only has to be run onece.
  • For Windows

Open the cocos2d-x/build/cocos2d-win32.vc2012.sln

  • For Android
$ cd cocos2d-x/build
$ python ./android-build.py hellocpp

Import HelloCpp Android project using Eclipse(released with Android SDK). The path to be imported is cocos2d-x/samples/Cpp/HelloCpp/proj.android.
