Building your project

To build a project from your terminal:

• Open your terminal, like cmd, kitty, or windows terminal
• Change to your project root(The folder you created) using cd my/project/path on linux or powershell or dir my/project/path on windows.
• Run the build command gama build

To build the project run gama build, this will create a folder in build/ and your executable application will be in that folder.

[!NOTE] You may not run the executable inside the build folder, as it will have errors trying to find your app files. to run your project after building: run gama run. To build and run your project directly, run gama build -r this is what you want most of the case.

Building for windows, ... on linux

Building for windows on linux required winegcc installed, on ubuntu run, install it with apt(sudo apt install winegcc), and to run a windows project you need wine command intalled, once that's done, simply add -w to the build or run commands to build for windows.
