Operating System:

macOS

Compiling Misc:

Simple plugin compiling

Simple bash script which can sometimes simplify writing very basic plugins.

plugin.sh

#!/bin/bash
compiler="g++"
options="-I "
headers="/path/to/bzflag/include"
options2="-fPIC -shared -o"
$compiler $options $headers $options2 $1.so $1.cpp

Compile a plugin with:

./plugin.sh myPlugin.cpp

Simple modeltool compiling

This usual covers building modeltool on recent releases:

g++ -o modeltool modeltool.cxx -include SimpleTextUtils.h model.h wavefrontOBJ.h Q3BSP.h Q3BSP.cxx wavefrontOBJ.cxx SimpleTextUtils.cxx
