What platforms are supported?

You should be able to compile ASEPRITE successfully on the following platforms:

  • Windows + MSVC 2008 Express + DirectX SDK
  • Linux + GCC
  • Mac OS X

How can I compile ASEPRITE?

The new build system for ASEPRITE is CMake. The following are the steps to compile ASEPRITE (in this case we have the source code in a directory called aseprite-source):

  1. Make a build directory to leave all the files that are result of the compilation process (.exe, .lib, .obj, .a, .o, etc).

     C:\...\>cd aseprite-source
 C:\...\aseprite-source>mkdir build

    In this way, if you want to start with a fresh copy of ASEPRITE source code, you can remove the build directory and start again.

  2. Enter in the new directory and execute cmake giving to it your compiler as generator:

     C:\...\aseprite-source>cd build

    If you have nmake (MSVC compilers):

     C:\...\aseprite-source\build>cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles"

    If you have Visual Studio you can generate a solution:

     C:\...\aseprite-source\build>cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 8 2005"
 C:\...\aseprite-source\build>cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 9 2008"
 C:\...\aseprite-source\build>cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 10"

    If you are on Linux:

     /.../aseprite-source/build$ cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles"

    If you have MinGW + MSYS:

     C:\...\aseprite-source\build>cmake .. -G "MSYS Makefiles"

    If you have MinGW + mingw-make:

     C:\...\aseprite-source\build>cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"

    For more information in CMake wiki.

  3. After you have executed one of the cmake .. -G <generator> commands, you have to compile the project executing make, nmake, opening the solution, etc.

  4. When the project is compiled, you can copy build/src/aseprite.exe file to aseprite-source and execute it. If you have used a Visual Studio project, you can copy the whole data/ directory to build/src/RelWithDebInfo/ so you can run/debug the program from Visual Studio IDE.

How to profile ASEPRITE?

You must compile with Profile configuration. For example on Linux:

/.../aseprite-source/build$ cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Profile -DCOMPILER_GCC:BOOL=ON
