Build Instructions for Windows

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Architecture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Developed on Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015,
|
|
little endian CPU. Compiling using the mingw32 toolset is experimental, which
|
|
also allows for cross compiling.

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. Building and Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
--- 2.1 Prerequesites ---
|
|
|
|
To build the game, the following tools and libraries must be present:
|
|
|
|
- Pick 1:
|
|
* Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
|
|
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146
|
|
(Experimental Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2012 projects also exist in the vc2012
|
|
folder)
|
|
* mingw32
|
|
http://mingw.org/
|
|
|
|
- Pick 1:
|
|
* MegaGlest dependencies for building with VC++, which which will be downloaded
|
|
automatically in 'Option A' (see below)
|
|
* MegaGlest Windows 32 bit dependencies for building with mingw:
|
|
https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/releases/download/3.2.3/win32_deps_mingw.7z
|
|
|
|
- These include:
|
|
* Xerces-C
|
|
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/
|
|
* wxWidgets
|
|
http://wxwidgets.org/
|
|
* And many more. For a more verbose list, please inspect the archive contents and refer to the
|
|
Linux build instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--- 2.2 Building ---
|
|
|
|
To build and install the game proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
*** Option A ~ (recommended) Automated build on the command line:
|
|
|
|
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root folder where you have acquired the source code.
|
|
|
|
2. cd mk\windoze
|
|
|
|
3. build-mg-2015.bat (or build-mg32bit-2015.bat for 32 bit build)
|
|
|
|
4. megaglest.exe --version
|
|
|
|
5. megaglest.exe
|
|
|
|
*** Option B ~ Using VC++ IDE:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the dependencies archive (which one and from where you can find
|
|
out in the "code" of build-...bat script from 'Option A' approach, some line
|
|
with "wget.exe") and decompress its contents into the 'source' directory. This
|
|
should create a subdirectory called "windows_deps..." with many files and
|
|
subdirectories in it.
|
|
|
|
2. Start the Visual C++ 2015 IDE and open the solution file:
|
|
\mk\windoze\Glest_vc2015.sln
|
|
|
|
3. Right Click on the top level 'Glest' node in Solution Explorer and select
|
|
'Rebuild All' (choose release mode or release with debug info).
|
|
|
|
Note: If you had no errors all binaries will be created.
|
|
Before running MegaGlest you must run CopyWindowsRuntimeDlls_2015.bat.
|
|
You should now be able to just run megaglest.exe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--- 2.3 Installation ---
|
|
|
|
We provide NSIS based installation packages. By default, these will create a
|
|
system-wide installation below %ProgramFiles% and setup Desktop icons for
|
|
simplified access. User specific configuration will be stored within the
|
|
directory tree the %AppData% environment variable points to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Troubleshooting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
--- General ---
|
|
* Make sure that the hardware and software of your system match the
|
|
requirements
|
|
|
|
* If you cannot find what you are looking for on here please check the FAQs
|
|
(https://docs.megaglest.org/MG/FAQ) before contacting.
|
|
|
|
--- Compiling ---
|
|
* If configure fails make sure you have read the Building section above
|
|
|
|
--- Sound/Audio errors when starting ---
|
|
* If the game doesn't start because of audio/sound errors:
|
|
Make sure no other application is using your soundcard.
|
|
* If this doesn't solve your sound problems try to get an updated OpenAL from
|
|
http://openal.org
|
|
* Sound is played through OpenAL - you might need to take a look at your
|
|
configuration: http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/OpenAL_Configuration
|
|
|
|
--- The game complains that OpenGL 1.3: is not available, is missing OpenGL
|
|
extensions, or works very slowly ---
|
|
* Try to get updated graphics drivers.
|
|
|
|
-- The game crashes ---
|
|
* Check the forums at https://forums.megaglest.org/
|
|
* Please report any other crashes and freezes that are not yet described on
|
|
the forums, preferably with a backtrace from a debugging enabled build
