MEGAGLEST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Build instructions for Linux
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Architecture
|
|
|
|
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 forums, e.g. http://forum.megaglest.org/?topic=1426#).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. Building and Installation
|
|
|
|
2.1 Prerequesites
|
|
|
|
The game depends on some tools and libraries to be present, before you can
|
|
start compiling it:
|
|
|
|
* Standard GNU compiler and additional tools (g++ version 4.6.3 or later is
|
|
required at the moment)
|
|
|
|
* Kitware CMake 2.8.2 or later (used as build tool)
|
|
|
|
* X11 libraries + headers
|
|
http://x.org/
|
|
|
|
* SDL 2.0.0 or later
|
|
http://libsdl.org/
|
|
|
|
* OpenGL
|
|
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/libGL
|
|
|
|
* libvlc
|
|
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/libvlc.html
|
|
|
|
* libcurl
|
|
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
|
|
|
|
* wxWidgets
|
|
http://wxwidgets.org/
|
|
|
|
* OpenAL
|
|
http://openal.org/
|
|
|
|
* Ogg

|
|
NOTE: We have produced a script that tries to install build dependencies on many
|
|
Linux distros. The script is located in mk/linux/setupBuildDeps.sh
|
|
|
|
If CMake reports that it cannot find some of the libraries, make sure that you
|
|
also have the ...-dev(el) packages installed that some distributions provide.
|
|
|
|
At this point we would like to thank all the authors of these helpful libraries
|
|
who made our development easy and straight forward.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.2 Building
|
|
|
|
To build the game simply invoke the build script:
|
|
|
|
../mk/linux/build-mg.sh
|
|
|
|
This script manually calls cmake with some optional parameters. Feel free to
|
|
examine it and build manually using cmake.
|
|
|
|
2.3 Installation
|
|
|
|
We provide MojoSetup based installers for Linux and NSIS based installers for
|
|
Windows. By default, the Linux installers install to your home directory. The
|
|
Windows installers install to %ProgramFiles%, so to the systems' global scope.
|
|
|
|
There are also community maintained packages available for several Linux and
|
|
BSD distributions. Please see the website, forums and wiki for details.

3. Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Some hints for troubleshooting.
|
|
|
|
In General:
|
|
* Make sure both hard- and software of your system match the requirements
|
|
* Sound is played through OpenAL - you might need to take a look at your
|
|
configuration: http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/OpenAL_Configuration
|
|
|
|
Compiling:
|
|
* If CMake fails make sure you have read all of section 2.1 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. Typical problems are
|
|
the Gnome/KDE sound dameons esd and artsd. You can kill these daemons with
|
|
killall esd ; killall artsd
|
|
* If this doesn't solve your sound problems try to get an updated OpenAL from
|
|
http://openal.org or a newer repository provided by your distribution.
|
|
|
|
The game complains about OpenGL 1.3 not available, is missing OpenGL extensions
|
|
or works very slowly:
|
|
* Look at glxinfo and make sure the system is using the drivers you want to
|
|
use. If you have a NVIDIA or AMD/ATI graphics card then consider using the
|
|
proprietary drivers (where available), which usually provide much better
|
|
performance than the open source drivers most distributions use by default.
|
|
Most Intel graphics chips use an open source driver on Linux, based on Mesa
|
|
("glxinfo | grep -i mesa"). This hardware is much slower than any dedicated
|
|
graphics cards produced during the past few years. The same holds true for
|
|
AMD APUs, the graphics chips embedded into AMD processors.
|
|
|
|
The game crashes:
|
|
* Check the forums at http://forums.megaglest.org/
|
|
* It would be nice if you could report any crashes and freezes that are not yet
|
|
described on the forums, preferably with a gdb backtrace from a debugging
|
|
enabled build (cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo)
