Compile for Linux
From UFO:AI
Contents |
General
Just run ./configure and make to compile the game.
We also have Kdevelop project files.
Requirements
In order to compile UFO:Alien Invasion under Linux you need to install some packages. First of all make sure, that you have gcc installed.
- gcc/g++
- OpenGL-header files (usually comes with your graphic card drivers; or you may use the 'mesa' source package)
- ogg vorbis header
- libjpeg6 header
- libpng header
- libcurl header
- zlib header version >= 1.2.3
- SDL (incl. headers)
- SDL version >= 1.2.10
- SDL_ttf (sdl-ttf) version >= 2.0.7
- SDL_mixer (libsdl-mixer) version >= 1.2.7
- make
For the Debian and Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu etc.), refer to the Debian page. Suse users might want to look here.
Getting the source
Have a look at our SVN section to find out how to obtain the code.
Compile
(This method only applies to version >= 2.1 - see the #2.0 branch section if you want to compile 2.0 or any 2.0 release candidate)
There are some options available on how to compile the code. Please have a look at the ./configure --help. After compiling there will be a debugARCH/ dir (where ARCH may be i386) which includes the binaries. They are copied by the makefile to the right folders. Now you are ready to run the game by typing ./ufo at the svn root directory.
If you use a recent SVN snapshot with no separate data package, remember to compile the maps, too (as described in the document for Debian). You can also grab pre-compiled maps from mattn.ninex.info
Compile for development
After getting the code you just need to do:
$ ./configure $ make
If the compilation fails or strange errors show up, you could try a "make clean" and afterwards a simple "make", which would build the source from scratch.
Compile for release
After getting the code you just need to do:
$ ./configure --enable-release $ make
2.0 branch
Unfortunately the build-system for 2.0 branch is slightly broken and involves some manual steps!!:
cd src && make clean && make cp ufoded ufo2map ufo snd_sdl.so snd_oss.so snd_arts.so snd_alsa.so ref_sdl.so ref_glx.so ../ && cp game.so ../base cd ..
