This repository contains a CMake script to build the thirdparty packages that are necessary for building Panda3D.

Usage example:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"Visual Studio 14 2015" -A x64 ..
cmake --build . --config Release

To build with Visual Studio 2015 for 64-bit Windows XP, change the command to:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"Visual Studio 14 2015" -A x64 -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=5.2 -T v140_xp ..

To build with Visual Studio 2015 for 32-bit Windows XP, change the command to:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G"Visual Studio 14 2015" -A Win32 -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=5.1 -T v140_xp ..

Some packages are still forthcoming. The included packages are ticked.

• artoolkit
• assimp (except Mac)
• bullet
• eigen
• fcollada
• ffmpeg
• fmodex
• freetype
• harfbuzz
• jpeg
• nvidiacg
• ode
• openal
• opencv (macOS only)
• openexr
• openssl
• opus
• png
• squish
• tiff
• vorbis
• vrpn
• zlib

A package can be explicitly disabled using the BUILD_* options, eg. -DBUILD_VRPN=OFF disables building VRPN. Note that some packages have dependencies on other packages, so not all combinations are valid.

To build nothing but eg. vrpn, specify: -DDISABLE_ALL=ON -DBUILD_VRPN=ON. This only affects the initial configuration.
