To be able to build any of the sample applications requires you to have a Lumin SDK, which contains the toolchain and the build system 'mabu' (Magic Builder). To download the Lumin SDK, go to the Creator Portal.

Go to the Creator Portal and navigate to Publish => Certificates and Click "Add New". A privatekey.zip will be downloaded but you also have to wait for the Status to be "Active" and a Download link will appear on the same row. Unzip the private key and put that and the .cert file from the Download link in the same directory. Set the environment variable MLCERT to point to the .cert file.

1. If you installed these samples via Package Manager you can use the "Open Shell" button to get a shell that's good to go otherwise follow steps 2-4.
2. cd /path/to/mlsdk
3. If on linux / OSX: source envsetup.sh. If on Windows: envsetup.bat
4. If on linux / OSX: export MLCERT=/path/to/cert_from_creator_portal. If on Windows: set MLCERT=/path/to/cert_from_creator_portal
5. cd /mlsdk/<version>/samples/c_api/app_framework
6. python3.5 get_deps.py Note: On OSX you may need python3.7 if you run into issues related to SSL/TLS.
7. python3.5 build_external.py
8. cd /mlsdk/<version>/samples/c_api/samples
9. python3.5 build.py

The theory of development for Lumin SDK is that you can build and debug on host as well as on device. It provides enough headers and libraries for Lumin API development on all supported platforms (under include and lib). It also bundles a toolchain and C / C++ libraries for native development for the Magic Leap device (under lumin/).

Although host development is well-supported, Lumin SDK does not bundle host toolchains -- you are expected to install e.g. Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 for Windows and the Windows 8+ SDK or Xcode for macOS yourself. mabu will detect such tools in their expected installation locations.

Similarly, you should be able to use any reasonably cross-platform third-party code with mabu (the native build system) but we do not provide ready-made builds or ports of such code.
