## ⚠️ Project status: in-development ⚠️

|
Under heavy development, not ready for use currently. [Follow @machengine on Twitter](https://twitter.com/machengine) for updates.

## Zero fuss installation & cross compilation
|
|
|
|
Mach is built from the ground up to support zero fuss installation & cross compilation, **only `zig` and `git` are needed to build from any OS and produce binaries for every OS.**
|
|
|
|
You do **not** need any system dependencies, C libraries, SDKs (Xcode, etc.), C compilers or anything else.
|
|
|
|
If you've ever worked with game engines in Go, Rust, or any other language you've probably run into issues at one point getting the right system dependencies installed, whether it be Xcode versions, compilers, X11/GLFW/SDL C dependencies, etc.
|
|
|
|
Mach is able to do this thanks to Zig being a C/C++ compiler, Zig's linker `zld` supporting macOS cross compilation, and us doing the heavy lifting of packaging the required [system SDK libraries](https://github.com/hexops/sdk-macos-11.3) and [C sources](glfw/upstream/) for every dependency we need so our Zig build scripts can simply `git clone` them for you as needed for the target OS you're building for, completely automagically.
|
|
|
|
## Supported platforms
|
|
|
|
Mach is still incredibly early stages, so far we have support for building from the following OS to the following targets:
|
|
|
|
| Building for | From macOS x86_64 | From macOS M1/aarch64 | From Linux x86_64 | From Windows x86_64 |

## Libraries for all
|
|
|
|
Whether you're interested in using all of Mach, or just some parts of it, you get to choose.
|
|
Our libraries all aim to have the same zero-fuss installation, cross compilation, and platform
|
|
support:
|
|
|
|
* [mach-glfw](https://github.com/hexops/mach-glfw): Ziggified GLFW bindings with 100% API coverage

## About sub-repositories
|
|
|
|
In this repository, we maintain Mach as a monorepo. We pull in all commits from our library sub-repositories listed above using [`git subtree`](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-subtree):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git subtree pull --prefix glfw https://github.com/hexops/mach-glfw main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This pulls in all commits from our sub-repositories, and effectively leads to a full history of all Mach development across all core repositories.
|
|
|
|
Pull requests can be made to any repository (we synchronize both ways via `git subtree pull` and `git subtree push`.)
|
|
|
|
There are only two requirements:
|
|
|
|
1. Pull requests in sub-repositories must have a commit message prefix, e.g. `glfw: <commit message>` to keep our monorepo history nicer - we generally squash merge pull requests so this is not an issue.
|
|
2. Pull requests to this repository may not change multiple sub-repositories in the same commit (e.g. a commit to `glfw/` should not also include changes to `webgpu/`, to avoid confusion.)
