Requirements +=============== + +First of all you need a working installation of your favorite GNU/Linux +distribution. I recommend Debian Sarge/Sid or ArchLinux but you won't listen +to what i say anyway, eh? ;-) + +Second you need to have a working version of GCC with the C and C++ compiler +available. Simply run this to test your if it is installed: + For the C compiler: gcc -v + For the C++ compiler: g++ -v + +Both should state a version and other stuff, if not found install them +both first. Those should be included in any distribution. + +To get The Mana World to compile, some libraries are needed: + +1) Allegro 4.1+ +2) Alfont 1.91 +3) JGmod 0.99 + +2) Installing the Allegro Libraries +=================================== + +Look for a package for the distribution you run first and if you find a +version of Allegro 4.1 or higher you can save the time to go through the +next steps and skip to section 3. If not read ahead! + +Download Allegro: + http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/alleg/allegro-4.1.14.tar.gz?download + +Follow the steps: +1) cd into the path you donwloaded the tarball to +2) run "tar xzf allegro-4.1.14.tar.gz" +3) cd into "allegro-4.1.14" +4) run "./configure && make" +5) then make sure you are the superuser and run "make install" +6) run "ldconfig -v | grep allegro" + This should output exaclty one line: + "/usr/local/lib/allegro/4.1:" + If not check where it was installed to and add the path to your ld + config file and run the above command again. + +Allegro should now be installed on your system. If libraries are missing +or something else doesn't work out please correspond to Allegros installation +manual: + http://alleg.sourceforge.net/ + +3) Installing the Alfont library +================================ + +This is most likely not included in any distribution out there. So download +the source from here: + http://nekros.freeshell.org/delirium/alfont.php + +1) extract the archive, i recommend unzip :-) +2) cd into the directory +3) edit "Makefile" so it looks like this: + + [..] + # Makefile for AllegroFont using FreeType 2 + + # select (uncomment) one target and comment DJGPP if you are not aiming + # for that platform + #TARGET=DJGPP_STATIC + #TARGET=MINGW32_STATIC + #TARGET=MINGW32_DLL + TARGET=LINUX_STATIC + [..] +4) run "sh fixunix.sh" +5) run "make" +6) make sure you're the superuser and do the following: + cp lib/linux/libalfont.a /usr/lib + cp include/* /usr/include + ldconfig +7) this should finish the Alfont installation + +4) Installing the JGmod library +TODO + +5. Installing The Mana World +============================ + +The final step... I assume you have already downloaded the latest tarball +or checked out a recent version from the CVS. In any case follow the last +3 steps: + +1) cd into the directory you have extracted the source to +2) run a simple "make" +3) This should have been it! Now you should be able to run "./ManaWorld" + and play the game. If not you are welcome to post your questions on + the TMW forums: + http://themanaworld.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/index.php + +6. Notes +======== + +I only tested this on Archlinux Current (13th July 2004) and Debian Sid +(13th July 2004) with the most recent packages installed. + +If you have any comments regarding this installation howto feel free to +contact me using the stated email-address on the top of this document. +But please try the TMW IRC channel first. + +That's all folks! Have a nice day! :-) diff --git a/docs/INSTALL/win32.txt b/docs/INSTALL/win32.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..921e0e4e --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/INSTALL/win32.txt @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +How to compile and install TMW on my Win32 Box +============================================== + +Author: Alexander Baldeck (aka kth5) +Email: kth5@cboxx.de +Homepage: alex.cboxx.de + +The Mana World project +====================== +Homepage: themanaworld.sourceforge.net +IRC: irc.freenode.net / #manaworld + +0. Index +======== +1. Requirements +2. Installing Dev-C++ +3. Updating Dev-C++ and Allegro installation +6. Installing The Mana World +7. Notes + +1. Requirements +=============== + +In this tutorial we will use DevC++ b/c of the fact that +it's a free and one of best - if not THE best - IDE you +can get on Win32. Remember, Win32 was not meant for GCC +and stuff so you will probably run into trouble unless +you really know what you're doing, so best stick with +Dev-C++. + +Furthermore TMW depends on the following libraries: + +1) Allegro 4.1.x +2) Alfont 1.91 +3) JGmod 0.99 + + +2. Installing Dev-C++ +===================== + +I recommend that you get the latest stable version. Though +this tutorial is written for and tested w/ Dev-C++ 4.9.90 +it may also apply to any later version. Get 4.9.90 here: + + http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dev-cpp/devcpp4990setup.exe + +After you fetched it simply run and install. As soon as it is +installed you need to adjust a couple of enviroment-variables. +I will assume that you know how to do this. + +If you have Dev-C++ installed to "C:\Dev-Cpp" - the default - +your envars should contain these: + +SET PATH=C:\Dev-Cpp\bin;C:\otherpaths +SET MINGDIR=C:\Dev-Cpp + +Don't worry this won't hurt your Win32 unless you replace the +contents of PATH. ;-) + + +3. Updating Dev-C++ and Allegro installation +===================== + +Since the GCC in Dev-C++ is pretty old, we should get something +newer. This - fortunately - is not very hard to do. Simply fo to +"Tools" and then to "Check for Upgrades/Packages". +This will give you the Webupdate dialog where you should click +on the "Check for upgrades" button. +When you see the list look for "g++-3.4.1" and "gcc-core-3.4.1" +in the group "Dev-C++ MINGW System". After you have done that, +select the group you might want to check out a group called +"Allegro"! ;-) + + +TODO
