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:
HAVE_<LIBRARY>=True/False # Example: USE_JPEG
Panda subpackage building is handled by:
BUILD_<SUBPACKAGE>=True/False # Example: BUILD_DTOOL, BUILD_PANDA
Other configuration settings use more direct names (same names as in-source):
# Examples
PANDA_DISTRIBUTOR="MyDistributor"
DTOOL_INSTALL="/usr/local/panda"
LINMATH_ALIGN=On
# ... 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
