Provides a interface for easy GDNative management/building all-in-one inside the engine. This is a implementation of @WillNationsDev's proposal #119 for godot engine - godotengine/godot-proposals#119

All feedback is important on this stage of development so dont forget to create an issue, and tell your experience/idea/bug report

Well the current workflow for doing Native stuff is very complex, so this plugin facilitate the workflow.

• Add support for all languages that godot-engine support
• Multiple Projects managing
• Cross-compiling support (if possible remote compiling with travis-ci)

• Git (To download git repos) The other requirements are the same for compiling the godot's source code
• For Linux: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling/compiling_for_x11.html
• For Windows: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling/compiling_for_windows.html

• 1 - When You install like any plugin, and enable it (image below) it will take a little longer because it will install the necessary files at the godot data folder.

• 2 - These new generated files Can be accessed via:

• 3 - You'll be able to see a folder called native

• 4 - Inside the engine a button called native will appear on top-right corner:

• 5 - This is the main window:

• 6 - About:

  • PROJECT NAME: For now only one project is supported, but in further updates you will be able to manage as many projects as you want
  • GENERATE BINDINGS: Generate necessary stuff for compiling your native code (if everything goes well a green icon will be shown)
  • COMPILE SOURCES: Compile your created classes, so you first must create your classes modify them (going into native/src/my_project see step 2)
  • PLATFORM: Select which OS you want to build for, (currently only works with the one you are working on e.g: if you are on windows just leave, or if you are on linux leave there)
  • TARGET: You can use release (for final stuff) or debug ( for testing purposes, larger file)
  • PROCESSOR CORES: How many cores your processor has (faster compiling)
  • INSERT NEW CLASS: Create your classes there

• 7 - Final: Now just modify your classes (step 2 - for accesing them) and click COMPILE SOURCES, and if no error appears on output you're done!

A huge thanks to this guy: ->

Without him this project wouldn't be possible he helped with SCons file for building, also a lot of help with my errors during development
