How to compile and run Aethyra on your GNU/Linux Box
================================================
Homepage: http://www.aethyra.org/
IRC: irc.freenode.net / #aethyra
1) Requirements
2) Compiling Aethyra
3) Notes
1. Requirements
===============
You are expected to have either checked out Aethyra from git or you have downloaded
a source release. To get Aethyra 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/
* Guichan 0.8.x http://guichan.sourceforge.net/
* libxml2 http://www.xmlsoft.org/
* physfs 1.0.x http://icculus.org/physfs/
* zlib 1.2.x http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
* libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
If you cloned Aethyra from 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 Aethyra
===============================================
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 Aethyra on your system now, and you can
run it with "aethyra". By default all files are installed to /usr/local, you can
pass a different prefix to configure as usual.
NOTE: if the autobuild.sh fails
1.) autoreconf -i
2.) ./configure
3.) make
4.) su -c "make install"
you can get help from A.) IRC channel irc.freenode.net #aedev or #aethyra
B.) http://www.aethyra.org/forums/
Make sure you record the output from the konsole window
NOTE: It is possible to compile Aethyra 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".
