This repository contains a CMake script to build the thirdparty packages that are necessary for building Panda3D.

Usage example on Windows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 ..
# to build everything:
cmake --build . --config Release
# to just build ffmpeg and its dependencies:
cmake --build . --config Release --target ffmpeg

Usage example on other systems:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make ffmpeg # just build ffmpeg and dependencies
make all # build everything

Some packages are still forthcoming. The included packages are ticked.

• artoolkit
• assimp
• bullet
• eigen
• fcollada
• ffmpeg
• fmodex
• freetype
• harfbuzz
• jpeg
• mimalloc
• nvidiacg (except arm64 or Android)
• ode
• openal
• opencv (macOS only)
• openexr
• openssl
• opus
• png
• squish
• tiff
• vorbis
• vrpn
• zlib

If you want to build a subset of packages, it is easiest to just pass the name of the target to the build system. For example, to just build VRPN, you can call make vrpn or add the --target vrpn flag to cmake --build. This will still build its dependencies if one package depends on another one. A way to force a certain package to be disabled is by using the BUILD_* options, eg. -DBUILD_VRPN=OFF disables building VRPN, even if it is a dependency of another package.
