1 Installation Instructions
2 =========================
7 vor requires the following libraries to build/run:
9 * sdl http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
10 * sdl_mixer http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
11 * sdl_image http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
13 If you are building from git, (or editing the graphics) you will also
16 autoconf version 2.63 or greater
18 You'll also need the graphics (`data` subdir) from the tarbal, or the following
19 packages to render the graphics:
21 povray http://www.povray.org/
22 povray-includes (if your distribution ships this in a separate package)
23 netpbm http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/
26 Building From A Release Tarball
27 -------------------------------
29 (See Building From Git below if you don't have a release tarball)
31 change to the source directory and run this:
35 Unless there are errors, you should be able to run the game from the
36 source directory like this:
44 1. Make sure you have the extra dependencies first. If you want to avoid
45 installing povray and/or netpbm, you can simply copy the data/ directory
46 from a recent release.
50 3. Continue as normal with the Building From A Release Tarball section above.
56 These instructions should work on most any modern GNU/Linux system, and maybe
57 other Unix-like systems.
59 1. Download MXE (and install its dependencies) by following just step 1 of
62 http://mxe.cc/#tutorial
64 2. `cd` into the `mxe` directory
66 3. Run this: (takes some patience)
72 make sdl-image sdl-mixer
74 5. Set up your environment for cross-compiling:
76 export PATH="/PATH/TO/YOUR/MXE/DIR/usr/bin:$PATH"
78 6. `cd` to vor source directory.
80 7. Build VoR with this command:
82 ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 && make
88 You can run VoR from the source directory without installing it:
92 add `-h` to see commandline arguments.
94 See `README` file for keys, etc.
100 You can run `make install` to install vor. If you're installing
101 system-wide (for example, to the default install location of `/usr/local`)
102 you'll need to run this as root.
104 You can specify an alternative install location with the `--prefix=`
105 argument to `./configure`. See the output of: `./configure --help` for more
