Full skill instructions

Clean Rebuild

This skill performs a complete clean rebuild of YARS when build state is questionable or after major changes.

Usage

Automatically invoked when:

  • User asks for a clean build or fresh build
  • Build errors suggest stale build artifacts
  • After major CMake configuration changes
  • When switching between build configurations

Steps

# Check and install dependencies if needed (macOS)
echo "Verifying dependencies..."
brew list boost xerces-c bullet sdl2 2>/​dev/​null || {
  echo "Installing missing dependencies..."
  brew install boost xerces-c bullet sdl2
}

# Remove entire build directory
rm -rf build

# Create fresh build directory
mkdir build && cd build

# Configure with CMake (specify Homebrew path on macOS)
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/​opt/​homebrew ..

# Build with parallel jobs
make -j4

# Verify binary was created
if [ -f ./​bin/​yars ]; then
  echo "✅ Build successful - binary created at ./​bin/​yars"
else
  echo "❌ Build failed - binary not found"
  exit 1
fi

Success Criteria

  • ✅ All dependencies installed
  • ✅ Build directory successfully removed and recreated
  • ✅ CMake configuration completes without errors
  • ✅ Compilation completes without errors or warnings
  • ✅ YARS binary successfully created at build/​bin/​yars

Dependency Requirements

macOS (Homebrew):

brew install boost xerces-c bullet sdl2

Linux (Ubuntu/​Debian):

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libxerces-c-dev libbullet-dev libsdl2-dev

Notes

  • Always executed from project root
  • Removes ALL build artifacts including CMake cache
  • Use this when incremental builds fail or behave oddly
  • Takes longer than incremental build but guarantees clean state
  • On macOS, requires CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/​opt/​homebrew for Homebrew libraries
  • Ogre3D should be pre-built in ext/​ogre/​install/
