~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
README file for Linux

1. System requirements
Developed on Linux with glibc, little endian cpu. While MacIntel builds exist,
the game does not currently work on big endian CPUs like PPC. There are some
unfinished patches floating around the glest board, so this might improve (feel
free to send updated/finished PPC patches).
Graphics card + OpenGL libraries that support OpenGL 1.3 and shader extensions
(=OpenGL 1.4 or glUseProgramObjectARB etc.)
The app has been reported to run fine on a 900Mhz Athlon box with Nvidia GeForce
3 graphics card.
It seems that the game also runs on GeForce 2 and GeForce Mx class hardware when
you disable 3D textures and shadow maps in the options menu. The game seems not
to work with the open source (ATI) DRI drivers. It has reported to run nicely
with ATIs proprietary drivers though.
Developed on Linux with glibc, little endian CPU. While MacIntel builds exist
(for some versions of the game), MegaGlest does not currently work on big
endian CPUs like PPC (though some unfinished patches for vanilla Glest float
around on the Glest boards, e.g. http://glest.org/glest_board/?topic=1426).
Hardware requirements:
* 5th generation x86 CPU with 1.5 GHz or better
(modern CPU series with at least two cores of at least 1.5 Ghz recommended)
* 1.0 GB RAM
(2.0 GB recommended)
* Graphics chip supporting OpenGL 1.3 with GL_ARB_env_crossbar and shader
extensions (=OpenGL 1.4 or glUseProgramObjectARB etc.) or higher
(dedicated video card with hardware 3D acceleration recommended)
* Audio chip supporting OpenAL
Software requirements:
* A supported (by its producer) operating system version
* Graphics drivers which work well with this operating system version and
support the OpenGL requirements discussed above
* Audio drivers supporting OpenAL
* A file archiving utility which provides a command line interface and can
decompress 7-zip archives
Current dedicated Nvidia and ATI hardware with vendor-supplied proprietary
drivers installed will provide the best experience. However, MegaGlest also
runs on most integrated Intel GMA, Nvidia and ATI GPUs, but you will feel an
urge to reduce effects.
Issues with proprietary drivers for 'legacy' ATI hardware have been and are
continuously reported. On Linux, open source 3D drivers are now (Linux 2.6.38,
Gallium 0.4 via DRI) starting to become usable for both many current and
legacy GPUs, and may help with this.

If the configure script can't find some of the libraries, make sure that you
also have the -dev packages installed that some distributions provide.
At this point I'd like to thank all the authors of these helpful libraries
that made our development easy and straight forward.
