Tizen Installation and Setup

Environment Requirements

• Windows, OS X or Ubuntu (a relatively recent version should suffice)
• Cocos2d-x v3.11 http://cocos2d-x.org/download
• Tizen 2.4 Rev3+ SDK https://developer.tizen.org/development/tools/download
• Java JDK for your platform (a relatively recent version should suffice)

Prerequisites

• Download Cocos2d-x.
• Download Tizen installer.
• Download Java JDK for your platform.

Installation

• Install Java JDK for your platform. You may or may not need to do this depending upon your current setup.

• Install Tizen using the installer you downloaded. If you haven't downloaded it, please refer to prerequisites above.

• Double click the Tizen installer that you downloaded and follow the prompts.

  

  

  

• Click the 'Done' button, then when prompted to run the Update Manager, click 'Yes(Y)'.

  

• Select 2.4 Mobile and click the down-arrow at the right side to install. If you install version 2.4, the resulting TPK could also be installed on Tizen device runs 2.3 version system. The resulting TPK is back compatible for old version devices.

  

• After completing all steps, you should be able to launc the Tizen IDE 2.4.

  

Running the built in tests

Just like with any platform Cocso2d-x supports, you can run our sample tests to understand the engine's functionality. For c++ you want to look at cpp-tests and for Lua, lua-tests.

• Launch the Tizen IDE

• Select File -> Import

  

• Under General, select Existing Projects into Workspace

  

• Browse to where the Cocos2d-x root is. Then select cpp-tests and libcocos2d-x ensuring that the path for both contains proj.tizen as it is possible to import projects for Android, but we don't want to do this.

  

• By default, a project has three configurations Debug, Release and Emulator. Debug and Release are settings that build for hardware. Emulator is for simulating a hardware device when one is not available. It is always best to test on actual hardware before deploying your app to production.

  To change either Debug or Release, right click on the libcocos2d-x project and select Properties. When this window opens, select C/C++ Build -> Tizen Settings. A few items here need to be changed. Change the properties with the red boxes on the screenshot below. * Choose Mobile 2.4, x86 and GCC 4.9 of the toolchain. * Then click the OK button.

  

  Repeat this same step for the cpp-tests project.

  To build for the Emulator, right click on the libcocos2d-x project and select Build Configurations -> Set Active -> Emulator

  

• Now, we can build. First, build libcocos2d-x. Right click on the libcocos2d-x project and select Build Project or press the F10 key.

  

• Repeat this same step for the cpp-tests project.

Once everything is built cpp-tests will run and you can experiment with it's functionality.

Starting a new project

Once everything above works, you can start a new project! To do this, read our document on the Cocos Command-line tool.
