This plugin follows the same format as the [GDNative C++ Example](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/plugins/gdnative/gdnative-cpp-example.html). So if you can compile that example then you are 90% of the way there. The main difference is using CMake to compile libuv.
On Windows you can use `git-bash` to run this script.
Provided the dependencies above are installed then it should "just work™".
Binaries for your platform will be installed in `addons/godot_xterm/native/bin`.
The [build.sh] script accepts args `--target` which can be set to `debug` (default) or `release` and `--disable-pty` to compile only the dependencies of [Terminal] node and not [PTY] node (even on platforms that support it).
### The Hard Way
If you are having trouble compiling, study the [build.sh] script and the GitHub actions workflow in [main.yml] to see what commands are being run and how dependencies are installed. You can also dig into the [SConstruct](https://github.com/lihop/godot-xterm/blob/stable/addons/godot_xterm/native/SConstruct) file, and don't forget to refer back to the [GDNative C++ Example](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/plugins/gdnative/gdnative-cpp-example.html).
Also feel free to open a new discussion in the [discussions](https://github.com/lihop/godot-xterm/discussions) section of this project.
## Cross Compiling
Although the SConstruct file contains some logic for cross-compiling, it has never been tested. If you want compile for other platforms consider forking this repo and then pushing your changes to GitHub. The workflow defined in [main.yml] will run and build the library for all supported platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows, and HTML5).
Additionally, If you have `docker` and `docker-compose` installed, the [build.sh] script will also try to build the HTML5 binary inside a docker container and copy them to `addons/godot_xterm/native/bin`.
