Dynacoe does not have any hard-coded dependencies, but rather has major components that link to a variety of system backends choosable at copmile time of the library.

This help file will guide you through setting up a working environment for Dynacoe. Most provided libraries were for 64-bit systems only.

Prerequisites

While Dynacoe does not have any strict dependencies, building has a few environment requirements:

GNU Make
bash
A version of g++ that is c++11 compliant AND can produce 64-bit binaries

Although not necessary, if you are running on a Linux machine, having the following will give you the most flexibility for Dynacoe backends

libfreetype
libMesa (or any OpenGL implementation)
libalsa
libogg
libvorbis
libvorbisfile
libX11

Windows users can simply can use the libraries / backends provided with the Dynacoe installation

If on Linux, Make should already be installed on your system, if not. search your distributions' package manager for a version.

If on Windows, MSYS2 is the best way to go. To install msys, check the "Installing MSYS2" guide below.
Open Dynacoe's toplevel directory. In a terminal emulator of your choice (Windows users: use the MSYS shell), enter the following
```
./configure.sh
```
This configure Dynacoe for your system to prepare the building process. The configure script will also choose which backends Dynacoe will link against. If Dynacoe is unable to provide a system backend for each of its major components, Dynacoe will fail to configure and will not be able to build.
While still in the top-level directory, enter:
```
 make 
```
This will build both the library and demos. If everything worked without error, you are done. Feel free to run the demo! Also, checkout the makfile in this directory. You can use this as a base for starting off. You just need to add your source files on the SRCS line. Once thats done, the makefile will compile your project for you via the `make' command.

Installing MSYS2

Grab the installer from here at the top and install.

https://msys2.github.io/

Once installed, run open the "Mingw-w64 Win64 Shell" shortcut that it installs. (it opens msys2 configured to build with the 64bit toolchain without path shinanegens)

In that new term, run msys2-prep.sh provided by Dynacoe and answer 'y' to any prompts.
