|
|
|
1. Architecture
|
|
|
|
Developed on Windows with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express (free version),
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010
|
|
OR
|
|
* mingw32
|
|
|
|
* Experiemtnal Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2012 projects also exist in the vc2012
|
|
folder
|
|
|
|
* MegaGlest Windows 32 bit dependencies for building with VC++:
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/windows_deps.7z/download
|
|
OR
|
|
* MegaGlest Windows 32 bit dependencies for building with mingw:
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/win32_deps_mingw.7z/download
|
|
|
|
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-2010.bat (build-mg-2012.bat for vc 2012)
|
|
|
|
4. megaglest.exe --version
|
|
|
|
5. megaglest.exe
|
|
|
|
Option B) Using VC++ IDE:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the dependencies archive listed above and decompress its contents
|
|
into the 'source' directory (where you see glest_game, g3d_viewer, etc).
|
|
This should create a subdirectory called "win32_deps" with many files and
|
|
subdirectories in it.
|
|
|
|
2. Start the Visual C++ 2010 IDE and open the solution file:
|
|
\mk\windoze\Glest-2010.sln
|
|
|
|
3. Right Click on the top level 'Glest' node in Solution Explorer and select
|
|
'Rebuild All'.
|
|
|
|
If you had no errors all binaries will be created in \data\glest_game.
|
|
Before running MegaGlest you must run CopyWindowsRuntimeDlls_2010.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
|
|
|
|
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 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
|
|
|
|
The game complains about OpenGL 1.3 not available, is missing OpenGL extensions
|
|
or works very slowly:
|
|
* Try to get updated graphics drivers.
|
|
|
|
The game crashes:
|
|
* Check the forums at http://forums.megaglest.org/
|
|
* It would be nice if you could report any other crashes and freezes that are
|
|
not yet described on the forums, preferably with a backtrace from a
|
|
debugging enabled build
