- The Steamworks SDK is required when building Greenworks and using Greenworks. We can't just include this within the repository because it is not legal to do so; game developers have to accept Valve's terms and download it from the official site.
- Greenworks is designed to function with v1.41 of the SDK, which is the latest version of the time of this writing. However, every so often, Steam releases a new version of the SDK, so make sure you download the appropriate version.
- Download the SDK from the official Steamworks website. (You will need to login with your Steam account first in order to access the downloads list.)
- Extract the contents of the zip file.
- The extracted contents will contain one subdirectory,
sdk
. Rename it tosteamworks_sdk
. - Copy the renamed directory
steamworks_sdk
to<greenworks_src_dir>/deps/
. Alternatively, you can also set aSTEAMWORKS_SDK_PATH
environment variable which points to thesteamworks_sdk
directory.
