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? ;-) +To get The Mana World to compile, you need a compile (GCC) and some libraries. +The required libraries are: -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. +1) SDL http://www.libsdl.org/ +2) SDL_mixer http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ +3) SDL_image http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/ +4) Guichan 0.2.0 http://guichan.darkbits.org/ -To get The Mana World to compile, some libraries are needed: +Installing these dependencies is distributions-specific, and we'll leave it to +you to figure this out. -1) Allegro 4.1+ -2) SDL -3) SDL_mixer -4) Guichan - -2. Installing the Allegro Library -================================= - -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-4.1.17.tar.gz?download - -Follow the steps: -1) cd into the path you donwloaded the tarball to -2) run "tar xzf allegro-4.1.17.tar.gz" -3) cd into "allegro-4.1.17" -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 other libraries -============================= - -Make sure you also have SDL, SDL_mixer and Guichan installed. - -(incompletely updated by Hammerbear) - - -4. Installing The Mana World +2. 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 - -5. Notes -======== - -I only tested this on Archlinux Current (13th July 2004) and Debian Sid -(13th July 2004) with the most recent packages installed. +The final step... I assume you have already downloaded the latest tarball or +checked out a recent version from the CVS.
