***** Welcome to Monkey2! ***** W A R N I N G ! The master branch is super-volatile, and the develop branch is event worse! Grabbing the most recently tagged version is recommended if you just want to give monkey2 a try. ***** Building monkey2 on Windows ***** 1) Install the mingw-64 compiler. There is a self-extracting archive of mingw-64 that has been tested with monkey2 here: http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/mak/get-file?file=i686-6.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev1.exe If you install this to the monkey2 'devtools' directory, the following steps should 'just work'. The general release of mingw-64 is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ When installing, you should select 'i686' for 'architecture', 'posix' for 'threads' and 'dwarf' for 'exception'. 2) Open a command prompt and change to the 'monkey2\scripts' directory. 3) Enter 'rebuildall' and hit return. Wait... 4) If all went well, you should end up with a 'Monkey2 (Windows)' exe in the monkey2 directory. 5) You should now be able to build and run monkey2 apps. There is a simple 'hello-world.monkey2' test in the monkey2 directory, and some simple demos in the '/bananas' directory. ***** Building monkey2 on MacOS/Linux ***** 1) On MacoS, install the xcode command line tools. You can do this by entering 'xcode-select --install' in a shell. 2) Open a shell and change to the 'monkey2/scripts' directory. 3) Enter './rebuildall.sh' and hit return. Wait... 4) If all went well, you should end up with a 'Monkey2 (...)' app in the monkey2 directory. 5) You should now be able to build and run monkey2 apps. There is a simple 'hello-world.monkey2' test in the monkey2 directory, and some simple demos in the '/bananas' directory. ***** More information ***** Monkey2 patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/monkey2?ty=h Monkey2 development blog: http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/ Monkey2 development forums: http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/forums Monkey2 xmas 2015 demo: http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/2015/12/23/xmas-demo-2015/
