rpb - raylib project builder

What can I do with rpb?

rpb can help you to automatically build your raylib projects for multiple platforms. Projects created with rpc, raylib project creator, include a .rpc file with all the configuration parameters required to automatize project building; rpb can read .rpc config files and build defined project for multiple platforms. Supported target platforms depend on the Host platform and installed tooling.

Features

Support .rpc project configuration interchange file format<br>Shared with homonymous tool: rpc - raylib project creator

Multiple HOST platforms supported: Windows, Linux, macOS

Multiple target platforms supported: Windows, Linux, macOS, Wasm, Android

Configure project build settings in a visual way

Automatic assets validation, processing and packaging

Command-line support for automated project building

Completely portable (single-file, no-dependencies)

Basic Usage

Open the rpb tool desktop interface and open/drag&drop your .rpc project file. Once the file open, check project details, some build properties can be configured before building. Once everything ready, click the BUILD button or the Build & Run button. Build process can be followed in the console window opened separately.

WARNING: Build process is blocking at this moment so the UI tool can look like no-responding, just wait for the process to finish to get control again.

Platforms Supported

rpb can build for multiple platforms, depending on the Host platform and installed SDKs

Build Steps

Project building process consist of multiple steps, depending on the host and target platforms some of those steps are optional or not available.

Setup environment<br>Download and install required SDKs

Configure required directories

Set environment variables

Build raylib library<br>Set library config options

Set default output directories

Build raylib with selected configuration

Build project<br>Set output directory with required structure

Build project source files (defined by .rpc)

Copy binary to build directory

Process assets<br>Process and package assets

Copy assets to output build assets path

Package project<br>Sign executable and/or package

Compress output build (.zip/.7z)

Create installer for target platform

Run project (depends on host platform)

Project Configuration file

rpb supports loading raylib project configuration files: .rpc.

.rpb configuration files are shared betten rpc and rpb tools. rpc generates a base configuration file on project generation with provided properties and rpb can use that config file information to build the project for multiple platforms.

.rpc is a text and open file format, following a .ini style, and can be freely edited with any text editor.

Expected project structure

The expected project structure defined by the .rpc file should follow the template structure and contrains the following elements:

project-repo-name/<br>├── src/ // Project source code files<br>│ ├── resources // Project assets<br>│ ├── project_name.c<br>│ └── Makefile // Project multi-platform Makefile building (default)<br>├── raylib/ // [OPTIONAL] raylib library sources<br>├── projects/ // Project build systems, preconfigured<br>│ ├── VS2022/ // Build system: Visual Studio 2022<br>│ ├── VSCode/ // Build system: VSCode<br>│ └── scripts/ // Build system: scripts (.bat, .sh)<br>├── imagery/ // Project imagery: icons, banners, logo, splash...<br>├── .github/<br>│ └── workflows/ // GitHub Actions: Windows, Linux, macOS<br>├── .gitignore // Project files to ignore, preconfigured for build systems<br>├── README.md // Project main documentation (from template)<br>├── LICENSE // Project source code license (MIT by default)<br>├── EULA.txt // [OPTIONAL] Project End-User-Agreement<br>└── project_name.rpc // Project configuration file, useful for [rpb] tool
