			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
			/home/username/Qt/Tools/CMake/bin/cmake -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/home/username/Qt/6.4.2/gcc_64/lib/cmake" -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

New page

This compilation guide has been tested with Fedora 35 and Ubuntu 21.10

==Setting up the environment==
Download and install QT from here [https://www.qt.io/download-open-source?hsCtaTracking=9f6a2170-a938-42df-a8e2-a9f0b1d6cdce%7C6cb0de4f-9bb5-4778-ab02-bfb62735f3e5 QT Installer]

Make sure to install the Multimedia components under 'Additional Libraries' in the installer. As of February 2022, there is an Audio Glitch, specific to QT 6.2.2 and bellow, so in order to make Audio work properly, you will have to install 6.2.3 and above.

Once installed, modify your '''~/.bashrc''' to include the following:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/Qt/6.2.3/gcc_64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
</syntaxhighlight>
Modify it so that it matches your installation of Qt

Install cmake, latest version. In general, those included by default in the system packages are not suitable as they tend to be outdated.

==Compilation Setup==
git clone the source from the [https://github.com/Robosturm/Commander_Wars.git master branch]
Install the latest version of Vulkan for your distribution.
Modify the CMakeLists.txt file, to include the following, such that you change it to match your installation directories:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cmake">
set(Qt6_DIR "/home/username/Qt/6.2.3/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt6")
set(XDG_RUNTIME_DIR "/run/user/1000")
set(XKB_INCLUDE_DIR "/usr/include/xcb")
set(XKB_LIBRARY "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/")
set(Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIR "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/")
</syntaxhighlight>

==Compiling with CMake==
Finally run
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cmake .
make
sudo make install
</syntaxhighlight>
The game will be compiled and installed on the system

==Reporting issues==
As of now, the issues can be directly reported through the github [https://github.com/Robosturm/Commander_Wars/issues Issues Page] open one up, in case there are glitches or bugs found.
