There's a lot of confusion between compiling Godot and exporting projects.
This aims to resolve part of the confusion by cross-linking other pages
for each platform.

Exporting for Windows
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
This page describes how to export a Godot project to Windows.
|
|
If you're looking to compile editor or export template binaries from source instead,
|
|
read :ref:`doc_compiling_for_windows`.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to distribute a game for PC is to copy the executable
|
|
(``godot.exe``), compress the folder and send it to someone else. However, this
|
|
is often not desired.
|
|
|
|
Godot offers a more elegant approach for PC distribution when using the export
|
|
system. When exporting for Windows, the exporter takes all the project files and
|
|
creates a ``data.pck`` file. This file is bundled with a specially optimized
|
|
binary that is smaller, faster and does not contain the editor and debugger.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- To enable code signing, you must have the ``Windows 10 SDK`` (on Windows) or `osslsigncode <https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode>`__ (on any other OS) installed.
|
|
- Download the Godot export templates. Use the Godot menu: ``Editor > Manage Export Templates``.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
If you export for Windows with embedded PCK files, you will not be able to
|
|
sign the program as it will break.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, PCK embedding is also known to cause false positives in
|
|
antivirus programs. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid using it unless
|
|
you're distributing your project via Steam as it bypasses code signing and
|
|
antivirus checks.
