Non-Build-Commands:

This section covers all command supported by WAF which are not related to building the CryEngine.

cry_waf.exe --help

Shows the help screen, an overview about all commands and options supported by WAF.

cry_waf.exe configure

Performs a configure step. This operations checks some compiler settings and caches those.

Very much like the ./configure operation used for linux projects.

cry_waf.exe msvs

Generates a Visual Studio Solution and Projects which can be used to build the CryEngine with WAF.

cry_waf.exe generate_uber_files

Generates Uber files which are used to speed up compilation by merging multiple translation units into a single

large translation units.

Build-Commands:

This section covers all commands relevant for building projects with WAF. It features also an overview about all build options, since those are mostly relevant for

building projects.

cry_waf.exe build_<platform>_<compiler>_<configuration>

This command performs a build operation; all dependencies are checked, and all needed compile tasks are executed to generate the final executables and libraries.

• <platform>: refers to one of the supported target platforms.
• <compiler>: refers to one of the supported target compilers for the selected platform.
• <configuration>: refers to one of the supported build configurations.

cry_waf.exe clean_<platform>_<compiler>_<configuration>

This command performs a clean operation; all intermediate files previously generated by another build command. Follows the same pattern for <platform> and <configuration> as the build command.
