Requirements +=============== + +You are expected to have either checked out Mana from Git or you have downloaded +a source release. To get Mana to compile, you need a compiler (GCC) +and some libraries. The required libraries are: + +* SDL http://www.libsdl.org/ +* SDL_mixer http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ +* SDL_image http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/ +* SDL_net http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/ +* SDL_ttf http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/ +* SDL_gfx http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/software-mainmenu-14/4-ferzkopps-linux-software/19-sdlgfx +* ENet 1.2 http://enet.bespin.org/ +* Guichan 0.8.x http://guichan.sourceforge.net/ +* libxml2 http://www.xmlsoft.org/ +* physfs 1.x http://icculus.org/physfs/ +* zlib 1.2.x http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ +* libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ + +If you've cloned the Git repository, you will also need these tools to compile: + +* GNU automake 1.9 http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ +* GNU autoconf http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ +* GNU gettext http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ +* CVS http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ (needed to run autopoint) + +On some machines, it's been reported that this package is also needed. However, +you might not need it: + +* GNU libtool http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ + +Installing these dependencies is distributions-specific, and we'll leave it to +you to figure this out. + + +2. Compiling And Installing Mana +================================ + +1) Go to the directory you have extracted the source to. +2) If you've cloned the Git repository, run "autoreconf -i" to generate + configure and install any missing auxiliary files. +3) Run "./configure" +4) Run "make" +5) Run "make install" as root + +It should have installed Mana on your system now, and you can run it +with "mana". By default all files are installed to /usr/local, you can pass a +different prefix to configure as usual. + + + NOTE: It is possible to compile Mana without support for OpenGL rendering. + To do this perform step 3 as follows: + + ./configure --without-opengl + + Rebuild the executable from scratch using "make clean" and then "make". + + +3. Notes +======== + +If you have any problems, you are welcome to post your questions on our forums, +or talk about them in our IRC channel. + +- Mana Dev Team |
