Building for macOS¶

1. Install dependencies¶

Xcode with the Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)
CMake — install via the official installer or Homebrew:
Python 3 for generated editor API suggestion files

brew install cmake ninja

2. Clone the repository¶

git clone https://github.com/doriaxengine/doriax.git
cd doriax

3. Configure and build¶

Using Ninja (single-config):

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Ninja"
cmake --build build --config Release --target doriax-editor

The doriax-editor executable is created under build/.

Using the Xcode generator

To work inside Xcode, generate an Xcode project instead:

cmake -S . -B build -G "Xcode"
cmake --build build --config Release --target doriax-editor

Xcode is a multi-config generator, so the build output is placed under a configuration subdirectory such as build/Release/.

Runtime project build¶

macOS runtime builds default to Metal. When using the Xcode generator, the app backend defaults to the native Apple backend; otherwise it defaults to Sokol.

cmake -S engine -B build-runtime \
  -DPROJECT_ROOT=/path/to/project \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -G "Ninja"
cmake --build build-runtime --config Release --target doriax-project

For Xcode:

cmake -S engine -B build-xcode -DPROJECT_ROOT=/path/to/project -G "Xcode"
cmake --build build-xcode --config Release --target doriax-project

The engine sets the macOS deployment target to 10.15 for runtime builds.
