How to 'make' a WILDSTAR4 host application

This guide explains how to 'make' (or compile) a a WILDSTAR4 host application. The article also explains what must be modified if your host application has been moved out of the default annapolis/wildstar4/examples directory.

---

The procedure to build a WILDSTAR4 host application is fairly simple.

1.) Open up "makefile" in the host/source folder and ensure that the correct host is uncommented.
     NOTE: To build the application for a VME chassis with a Linux host you must set the line too...

HOST = LINUX_X86_VME;

This option does not exist by default.

2.) If you will be building this in Windows, navigate to annapolis/wildstar4/scripts/wildstar4_host.mk and modify lines 14 & 31 to point to an absolute path instead of a relative path...
replace

../../../shared

with

$(ANNAPOLIS_BASE)/wildstar4/examples/shared
