Building from source
+Have Pip build from source
+Useful if the binaries don’t work on your system.
+Make sure Raylib is installed and then:
+pip3 install --no-binary raylib --upgrade --force-reinstall raylib
+Build from source manually
+Useful if the Pip build doesn’t work and you want to debug it, or you want to contribute to the +project.
+Attention
+If the Pip build doesn’t work, please submit a bug. (And if you have +fixed it, a PR.)
+Manual instructions follow, but see also how we actually build the wheels +at https://github.com/electronstudio/raylib-python-cffi/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml
+Windows manual build
+Clone this repo including submodules so you get correct version of +Raylib.
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/electronstudio/raylib-python-cffi
+Open Visual C++ command shell.
+Fix the symlink that doesnt work on Windows
+cd raylib-python-cffi
+copy raylib-c\src\raylib.h raylib\raylib.h
+Build and install Raylib from the raylib-c directory.
+cd raylib-python-cffi/raylib-c
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake -DWITH_PIC=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+msbuild raylib.sln /target:raylib /property:Configuration=Release
+copy raylib\Release\raylib.lib ..\..
+cd ..\..
+To update the dynamic libs, download the official release,
+e.g. https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases/download/3.7.0/raylib-3.7.0_win64_msvc16.zip
+and extract raylib.dll into dynamic/raylib.
To build a binary wheel distribution:
+rmdir /Q /S build
+pip3 install cffi
+pip3 install wheel
+python setup.py bdist_wheel
+Alternatively, if you don’t want the static binaries and just want to +use DLLs with raylib.dynamic:
+python3 setup_dynamic.py bdist_wheel
+Then install it:
+pip3 install dist\raylib-3.7.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
+(Note: your wheel’s filename will probably be different than the one +here.)
+Linux manual build
+These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 20.10 and 16.04.
+Clone this repo including submodules so you get correct version of +Raylib.
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/electronstudio/raylib-python-cffi
+Build and install Raylib from the raylib-c directory.
+sudo apt install cmake libasound2-dev mesa-common-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev xorg-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
+cd raylib-python-cffi/raylib-c
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake -DWITH_PIC=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+sudo make install
+Note
+Optional: Build the Raylib shared libs, if you plan to use
+raylib_dynamic binding.
rm -rf *
+cmake -DWITH_PIC=on -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+make
+sudo make install
+cd ../..
+Note
+Optional: Make a patched version of raylib header. (Not necessary if +you’ve already got raylib_modifed.h from repo and haven’t changed +anything.)
+cd raylib
+cp raylib.h raylib_modified.h
+patch -p0 <raylib_modified.h.patch
+cd ..
+Build
+pip3 install cffi
+rm -rf build raylib/_raylib_cffi.*
+python3 raylib/build.py
+Note
+(Optional) To update the Linux dynamic libs (names will be different on other platfroms):
+rm dynamic/raylib/*.so*
+cp -P /usr/local/lib/libraylib.so* dynamic/raylib/
+To build a binary wheel distribution:
+pip3 install wheel
+python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
+Then install it:
+pip3 install dist/raylib*.whl
+To build a complete set of libs for Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9:
+./raylib/build_multi.sh
+Warning
+pypi wont accept Linux packages unless they are built
+--plat-name manylinux2014_x86_64 so on linux please run
+./raylib/build_multi_linux.sh )
Todo
+Separate the instructions for preparing the dynamic module +from the instructions for building the static module!
+Macos manual build
+These instructions have been tested on Macos 10.14.
+Clone this repo including submodules so you get correct version of +Raylib.
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/electronstudio/raylib-python-cffi
+Build and install Raylib from the raylib-c directory.
+cd raylib-python-cffi/raylib-c/src
+make
+sudo cp libraylib.a /usr/local/lib/libraylib.a
+cd ../..
+Build and install module.
+pip3 install cffi
+rm -rf build raylib/_raylib_cffi.*
+python3 raylib/build.py
+pip3 install wheel
+python3 setup.py install
+Raspberry Pi
+The integrated GPU hardware in a Raspberry Pi (“VideoCore”) is rather +idiosyncratic, resulting in a complex set of software options. Probably +the most interesting two options for Raylib applications are:
+-
+
Use the Broadcom proprietary Open GL ES 2.0 drivers, installed by +Raspbian into
/opt/vc. These are 32-bit only, and currently X11 +doesn’t use these for its acceleration, so this is most suitable for +driving the entire HDMI output from one application with minimal +overhead (no X11).
+Use the more recent open-source
vc4-fkms-v3dkernel driver. This +can run in either 32-bit or 64-bit, and X11 can use these, so using +X11 is probably the more common choice here.
+
With option 2, the regular linux install instructions above should +probably work as-is.
+For option 1, then also follow the above instructions, but with these +modifications:
+-
+
With
cmake, use +cmake -DWITH_PIC=on -DSTATIC=on -DSHARED=on -DPLATFORM='Raspberry Pi' ..
+
(See +here +for a Raspberry Pi wheel)
