It uses -those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. -It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent -definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that -you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a -file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for -debugging `configure'). - - It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache' -and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves -the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is -disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale -cache files.) - - If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try -to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail -diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can -be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at -some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you -may remove or edit it. - - The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create -`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need -`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using -a newer version of `autoconf'. - -The simplest way to compile this package is: - - 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type - `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're - using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type - `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute - `configure' itself. - - Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some - messages telling which features it is checking for. - - 2. Type `make' to compile the package. - - 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with - the package. - - 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and - documentation. - - 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the - source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the - files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for - a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is - also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly - for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get - all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came - with the distribution. - -Compilers and Options -===================== - -Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the -`configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for -details on some of the pertinent environment variables. - - You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters -by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here -is an example: - - ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix - - *Note Defining Variables::, for more details. - -Compiling For Multiple Architectures -==================================== - -You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the -same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their -own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that -supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the -directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run -the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the -source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. - - If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH' -variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a -time in the source code directory. After you have installed the -package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring -for another architecture. - -Installation Names -================== - -By default, `make install' will install the package's files in -`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an -installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the -option `--prefix=PREFIX'. - - You can specify separate installation prefixes for -architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you -give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX', the package will -use PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. -Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. - - In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give -options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular -kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories -you can set and what kinds of files go in them. - - If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed -with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the -option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. - -Optional Features -================= - -Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to -`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. -They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE -is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The -`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the -package recognizes. - - For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually -find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, -you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and -`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. - -Specifying the System Type -========================== - -There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically, -but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on. -Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_ -architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a -message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the -`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system -type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form: - - CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM - -where SYSTEM can have one of these forms: - - OS KERNEL-OS - - See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If -`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't -need to know the machine type. - - If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should -use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will -produce code for. - - If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a -platform different from the build platform, you should specify the -"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will -eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'. +How to compile and run TMW on your GNU/Linux Box +================================================ -Sharing Defaults -================ - -If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you -can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default -values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. -`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then -`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the -`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. -A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. - -Defining Variables -================== - -Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the -environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run -configure again during the build, and the customized values of these -variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set -them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example: - - ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc - -will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is -overridden in the site shell script). - -`configure' Invocation -====================== - -`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates. - -`--help' -`-h' - Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. - -`--version' -`-V' - Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' - script, and exit. - -`--cache-file=FILE' - Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE, - traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to - disable caching. +Homepage: http://themanaworld.sourceforge.net/ +IRC: irc.freenode.net / #manaworld -`--config-cache' -`-C' - Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'. +1) Requirements +2) Compiling The Mana World +3) Notes -`--quiet' -`--silent' -`-q' - Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To - suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error - messages will still be shown). -`--srcdir=DIR' - Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.

Requirements +=============== +You are expected to have either checked out TMW from CVS or you have downloaded +a source release. To get The Mana World to compile, you need a compiler (GCC) +and some libraries. The required libraries are: + +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/ +5) libxml2 http://www.xmlsoft.org/ + +If you checked TMW out from CVS you will also need these tools to compile: + +6) GNU automake http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ +7) GNU autoconf http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ + +Installing these dependencies is distributions-specific, and we'll leave it to +you to figure this out. + + +2. Compiling The Mana World +=========================== + +1) Go to the directory you have extracted the source to. +2) If you checked out from CVS, run "./autogen.sh" to generate configure. +3) Run "./configure" +4) Run "make" + +It should have generated the executable in src/tmw, you should run it like +"src/tmw" for it to be able to find its data. + + + EXPERIMENTAL: For those people with modern video cards and fast OpenGL + performance, we have been working on OpenGL support. At the moment there is + no way to switch between SDL and OpenGL dynamically and you need to do this + at compile time. To try this perform step 3 as follows: + + "./configure CXXFLAGS=-DUSE_OPENGL" + + And rebuild the executable from scratch using "make clean" and then "make". + + +3. Notes +======== + +There is at the moment no way to install The Mana World on your sytem, we still +need to figure out how to make that possible using the GNU autotools. Any help +on this will be greatly appreciated. + +If you have any problems, you are welcome to post your questions on our forums, +or talk about them in our IRC channel. + +- The Mana World Dev Team |
