Building with CMake

The quickest way to build and install panda with CMake is to run:

cmake .
make
[sudo] make install

It is recommended to create a separate directory to build Panda3D:

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make

To configure CMake, it is recommended to use cmake-gui (cmake-gui .), however it is also possible to configure it entirely through CMake's command-line interface; see man cmake for more details.

In general, the config variable for a particular third party library is:

	USE_<LIBRARY>=True/False   # Example: USE_JPEG

Optional features typically use the format:

	BUILD_<FEATURE>=True/False   # Example: BUILD_THREADS

Configuration settings use more direct names:

	# Examples
	PANDA_DISTRIBUTOR="MyDistributor"
	DTOOL_INSTALL="/usr/local/panda"

	# ... etc ...

For example, makepanda.py --distributor X becomes cmake -DPANDA_DISTRIBUTOR=X

All third-party libraries are enabled by default and Panda3D will be compiled with any third-party library that is found. Third-party libraries can be enabled or disabled through configuration with the cmake gui or cli.

To quickly enable or disable all third-party libraries, run:

cmake -DEVERYTHING=True .  # or .. if you are in a separate build/ dir
# OR
cmake -DNOTHING=True .  # or .. if you are in a separate build/ dir

To use all available packages, and silence output for missing packages, run:

cmake -DDISCOVERED=True .  # or .. if you are in a separate build/ dir
