# Building for Linux
### Version Requirements
Following are the minimum required versions for the tools and libraries you
need for building LiquidFun for Linux:
- OpenGL: libglapi-mesa 8.0.4 (tested with libglapi-mesa 8.0.4-0ubuntu0)
- GLU: libglu1-mesa-dev 8.0.4 (tested with libglu1-mesa-dev 8.0.4.0ubuntu0)
- cmake (when building from source): 2.8.12.1
### Before Building
Prior to building, install the following components using the [Linux][]
distribution's package manager:
- [cmake][]. You can also manually install from [cmake.org]
(http://cmake.org).
- OpenGL (`libglapi-mesa`).
- GLU (`libglu1-mesa-dev`).
For example, on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
The sample applications require OpenGL and GLU.
### Building
- Generate makefiles from the [cmake][] project in `liquidfun/Box2D`.
- Execute `make` to build the library and sample applications.
For example:
cd liquidfun/Box2D
cmake -G'Unix Makefiles'
make
To perform a debug build:
cd liquidfun/Box2D
cmake -G'Unix Makefiles' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make
Build targets can be configured using options exposed in
`liquidfun/Box2D/CMakeLists.txt` by using cmake's `-D` option.
Build configuration set using the `-D` option is sticky across subsequent
builds.
For example, if a build is performed using:
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make
to switch to a release build CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE must be explicitly specified:
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
### Executing a Sample
After building the project, you can execute the samples from the command line.
For example:
./liquidfun/Box2D/Testbed/Release/Testbed
### Running Unit Tests
Developers modifying the LiquidFun library can verify that it still working
correctly by executing the provided unit tests.
Use the run\_tests.sh script to execute unit tests:
./liquidfun/Box2D/Unittests/run_tests.sh
