In this project:

  • An example C++ GDNative plugin.
  • Instructions to build the plugin including what software you'll need.
  • Support for 💰Windows, 🐧Linux & 🍏MacOS (x86_x64/arm64).
  • 🤖 An automated build pipeline to build for all above platforms.

Buildling on Windows 💰

  1. Download and install:

  2. Open a CMD window and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/samsface/godot-native-example.git
cd godot-native-example
debug.bat

  1. Run the godot project in the app directory of this repo. If it prints "ciao" to the output, it worked!

FAQ

  • You DO NOT need to copy the build files into the Godot project. CMake does this for you.
  • You DO NOT need to restart Godot every time you rebuild. Godot will reload the plugin.
  • On Windows, you need to stop debugging in Godot to rebuild, else you'll get a permission denied error installing the dll.

Using the CI:

This project contains a github actions file that will build your project for all supported platforms every time you push changes. To use it, just Fork this project and then just push changes. You'll see the build status in the Actions tab of your fork.

  • Github actions free tier only gives you so many minutes of compute per month so be conciuous of this.
