For Mac, the following project is recommended, as it contains all the dependencies and makes building easy: https://github.com/ZDoom/zdoom-macos-deps

After you have the packages installed, cd into your projects directory, and do the following to clone:

Afterwards, cd into it

cd VkDoom

Make a build folder, then cd into it

mkdir build
cd build

For Windows, run the following to prepare your build environment and the second command will build:

cmake -A x64 ..
cmake --build . --config Release -- -maxcpucount

(replace x64 with ARM64 if you're building on ARM64)

For Linux, run the following to prepare your build environment and the second command will build:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
