Binding made as from-scratch code generator, outputting msvc project.

Requirements:

• Windows 7 32 bit (just exactly SSCAIT requirement) NOTE: I couldn't successfully run BWAPI injector under Wine, although recently I've been told it's possible.
• Python 3.5
• Installed BWAPI and SC

pip install pybrood

Read the docs

Additional requirements:

• Visual C++ build tools or complete Visual Studio. NOTE: pick the version of compiler/studio considering build tools used by python
• BWAPI 4.1.2 sources you need BWAPI.lib and BWAPIClient.lib built against chosen compiler to link pybrood module
• Most fresh (dec 2016) Pybind11 headers

You may experience "access denied" errors while working directly in "program files/BWAPI". Better use separately cloned git repo of BWAPI where you have full access.

For msbuild invocation use special VC++ related cmd shell from Launch menu. Otherwise you can use usual cmd shell.

1. Make some changes in bwapi source files first:

   • disable mass file copying in bwapi/BWAPILIB/BWAPILIB.vcxproj:

     • line 64: <PreLinkEvent> → <!-- PreLinkEvent>
     • line 94: </PreLinkEvent> → </PreLinkEvent -->

   • create file bwapi/svnrev.h:

     Figure out revision number:

     cd bwapi
     echo $(( $(git rev-list HEAD --count) + 2383 ))

     static const int SVN_REV = 4708;
     #include "starcraftver.h"

     This prevents "Client and Server are not compatible" error.

2. Build BWAPI.lib:

   cd bwapi\BWAPILIB\
   msbuild /p:PlatformToolset=v140 /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32
   

   Output file is bwapi/lib/BWAPI.lib.

3. Build BWAPIClient.lib:

   cd bwapi\BWAPIClient\
   msbuild /p:PlatformToolset=v140 /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32
   

   Output file is bwapi/lib/BWAPIClient.lib.

0. pip install -r generator/requirements.txt
1. Setup paths in generator/config.py.
2. Run the generator python3.5 -m generator.
3. cd to freshly generated output folder and run build.bat (it's just the same msbuild command).
4. Copy/symlink output/Release/inner.pyd into pybrood directory. inner.pyd is a required submodule of pybrood.
5. Now you should be able to import pybrood.
6. Optionally you can build your local copy of documentation:

   cd output/docs/
   sphinx-build . -b html _build/html
