Raylib.lean

Lean4 bindings to raylib 5.5, including Raymath and Raygui 4.0-dev.

Installation

Add this to lakefile.lean:

require raylib from git
  "https://github.com/KislyjKisel/Raylib.lean" @ "main"

To the lean_exe target add:

moreLinkArgs := #["-Llake-packages/raylib/raylib/build/raylib", "-lraylib"]

Then run lake update and lake run raylib/buildSubmodule.

Installation problems

• First build may take some time (around 10-20 minutes) to download raylib.
• On the first build git may return error 128. Usually restarting the build or re-cloning the raylib's repo helps.
• By default Lean's built-in C compiler is used to build ffi. On Windows it fails due to missing stdlib headers. You can use a different C compiler by passing the cc option with the compilers path (options are described above). To build raylib cmake and git from PATH are used. If you don't have them in PATH you can provide their paths with options git and cmake. If you want to clone and/or build raylib manually you can provide empty git and cmake options and then run required commands (which can be found in the lakefile in buildRaylibSubmodule). You can also use raylib option set to custom and provide separately built raylib via lflags and cflags options. See #3.

Example

lake update
lake run raylib/buildSubmodule
lake exe raylib-test

Options

Options can be specified by appending with $opts (where $opts is a NameMap) to the require statement

• raylib: "submodule" (default) to compile from source using git submodules. "system" to find using pkg-config (uses hardcoded paths for the test executable). "custom" to not pass library or header directories to the compiler.
• raygui: allows using Raygui, downloads it as a submodule.
• cc: c compiler invoked used to build native code. By default uses (ordered by priority) LEAN_CC, the compiler provided by Lean toolchain or cc.
• cflags: additional flags passed to the native code compiler.
• lflags: additional flags used to link test executable.
• cmdout: if present, print output of commands used when building submodule.
• fork: use raylib's fork that provides features used by implementations of some functions (notably audio callbacks) and some more.
• alloc: allocator for external (opaque ffi) objects. "lean" (default) means using the allocator Lean uses. "native" to use malloc and free instead.
• git, cmake: git and cmake used to build raylib submodule, or "" (empty string) to skip their respective steps.

There are also options to customize raylib build.

Scripts

• buildSubmodule: initializes submodule and builds it. Runs as part of the bindings build process.
• cleanCmakeCache: removes build directory from the submodule.
