As noted in #539, the symlink check was to support compiling raylib on
VirtualBox vboxfs as no symlinks are supported there.
With me using Linux as daily driver outside VirtualBox now, this 'feature'
is most likely unused by anyone, but still annoys other users (#791).
Just revert it and be done with it. If there are really others building
raylib on vboxfs or a similarly crippled file system under Linux, they
should now step forward when their build breaks.

raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.
raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework and it's specially well suited for prototyping, tooling, graphical applications, embedded systems and education.
NOTE for ADVENTURERS: raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging... just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way.

raylib uses on its core module the outstanding GLFW3 library, embedded in the form of rglfw module, to avoid external dependencies.
raylib uses on its raudio module, the amazing miniaudio library to support multiple platforms and multiple audio backends.
raylib uses internally several single-file header-only libraries to support different fileformats loading and saving, all those libraries are embedded with raylib and available in src/external directory. Check raylib Wiki for a detailed list.
On Android platform, native_app_glue module (provided by Android NDK) and native Android libraries are used to manage window/context, inputs and activity life cycle.
On Raspberry Pi platform (native mode), Videocore API and EGL libraries are used for window/context management. Inputs are processed using evdev Linux libraries
On Web platform, raylib uses emscripten provided libraries for several input events management, specially noticeable the touch events support.
build and installation
raylib binary releases for Windows, Linux and macOS are available at the Github Releases page.
raylib is also available via multiple package managers on multiple OS distributions.
Installing and building raylib via vcpkg
You can download and install raylib using the vcpkg dependency manager:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg install raylib
The raylib port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.
Building raylib on multiple platforms
raylib Wiki contains detailed instructions on building and usage on multiple platforms.
- Working on Windows
- Working on macOS
- Working on GNU Linux
- Working on FreeBSD
- Working on Raspberry Pi
- Working for Android
- Working for Web (HTML5)
- Working for UWP (Universal Window Platform)
- Working anywhere with CMake
Note that Wiki is open for edit, if you find some issue while building raylib for your target platform, feel free to edit the Wiki or open and issue related to it.
Using raylib with multiple IDEs
raylib has been developed on Windows platform using Notepad++ and MinGW GCC compiler but it can be used with other IDEs on multiple platforms.
Projects directory contains several ready-to-use project templates to build raylib and code examples with multiple IDEs.
Note that there are lots of IDEs supported, some of the provided templates could require some review, please, if you find some issue with some template or you think they could be improved, feel free to send a PR or open a related issue.
