wesnoth/INSTALL

Prerequisites:

You'll need to have these libraries (with equivalent devel versions) to build Wesnoth: 

 libsdl1.2
 libsdl-image1.2
 libsdl-mixer1.2 (with Vorbis support)
 libsdl-net
 libfreetype2

SDL* libraries can be found at http://www.libsdl.org . libfreetype can be found
at http://www.freetype.org/ .

You will also need to have a working installation of gettext to build the
translations.

The .tar.gz file is distributed with a working set of configure files. They
are not in the CVS repository though. Consequently, if you are building from
CVS, you will need autoconf (>= 2.59) and automake (>= 1.8).

Sourcecode:

You can get it here:

 http://www.wesnoth.org/downloads


Compiling:

First untar the package:
  	
 $ tar xfzv wesnoth-0.x.tar.gz 

then
  	
 $ cd wesnoth-0.x

followed by
  	
 $ ./configure

compile with

 $ make
	  

Installing:
  	
 $ make install
	  

Updating:

 When updating wesnoth (e.g. redoing "configure" with new switches, or updating from CVS) clean the tree first with:

 $ make clean

Initial code import. [[The Wesnoth repository started off as CVS in September 2003 on SourceForge. In September 2005 it was converted to Subversion using cvs2svn and hosted at Gna!; the last CVS commit corresponded to Subversion r8374. In March 2013 it was converted to git by ESR using reposurgeon 2.30; the last Subversion commit was r56594. In the process, several small, abandoned experimental branches were removed. For all branches known to have been merged to trunk merge points were found and patched in. Comments have been massaged into git summary + body form; revision references have been lifted to action stamps. Conversion comments are, like this one, enclosed in double square brackets. Typos in change comments have often been quietly fixed. Some abbreviations (notably for mainline campaign names) have been made more uniform than they were in the Subversion comments. Infix "::" to mark a campaign-scenario pair (as in "HttT::12" has sometimes been inserted for clarity and to shorten summary lines. Two branches, website/ and resources/, have been merged to trunk, where their history now appears as that of those two top-level directories rather than as separate branches. Subversion property settings, and the commits in the Subversion history that manipulated them, are almost all gone. A few have been translated to .gitignore files and setting of executable bits. There are a few committers that we have been unable to identify. These are: uso zas uid65860 uid66289 uid67456 uid68698 uid68803 uid68842 uid68850 uid68852 uid69097 uid69206 The uid names seem to have been mechanically generated from Wesnoth forum postings. Committer lines for all of these have been left without a domain name in the email address.]] 2003-09-15 11:52:41 +00:00
