10 Nasm: http://nasm.sourceforge.net
11 SDL: http://www.libsdl.org
20 * NASM 0.98 (OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED for x86)
21 * A thread safe X server.
22 * GNU make is probably required as well.
25 Install all of the components above. Next, from the d2x directory:
28 ./configure --help will show you the available options.
29 If you have a 3d graphics card, use --with-opengl
31 VPATH builds also work (i.e., you can put the source in one directory
32 and build in another. Just execute the configure script from the
33 build directory like so:
36 ../d2x-source/configure
41 on systems where `make' isn't GNU make, use `gmake' instead.
43 see installation.txt for info on where to put your datafiles, etc.
47 * Serial support doesn't work. (UDP and IPX networking does)
48 * Sound glitches (due to stuff I haven't implemented)
49 * The mouse support is at the same level as it was in d1x (as in, it
50 kind of works) (btb: works pretty good for me.)
57 * Cygwin or MinGW + MSys
59 * NASM 0.98 (OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED)
61 Note that SDL.dll needs to be in your executable PATH, since that is
62 where windows looks for dlls.
63 I recommend copying or moving it to /usr/local/bin:
64 cp /usr/local/lib/SDL.dll /usr/local/bin
66 If you need to run autogen.sh (e.g. to rebuild the configure scripts,
67 or to build from cvs) sdl.m4 will have to be somewhere where aclocal
69 You can fix this by setting the ACLOCAL_FLAGS variable like this:
70 export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=/usr/local/share/aclocal
72 Now you can configure d2x as normal. i.e.
75 ./configure --with-opengl
77 For some reason, the Makefiles have a problem with not always putting the
78 .exe extentions where they need to be. So you may have to run make
80 make && make d2x-sdl.exe
82 make && make d2x-gl.exe
84 Then just copy your executable and SDL.dll into the descent2 directory.
90 Dos support isn't a high priority right now, so things may be a little
95 The following DJGPP packages are ALL REQUIRED (newer versions are ok)!
99 bnu281b.zip gcc2952b.zip mak3781b.zip bsh1147b.zip sed302b.zip
100 m4-14b.zip acnf213b.zip gwk304b.zip txt20b.zip grep22b.zip dif272b.zip
101 So many packages are needed to support the autoconf build system that d2x
103 * NASM v0.98 or better is REQUIRED
107 Install all of the djgpp packages above. Make sure that DJGPP is properly
108 configure (see the DJGPP docs for more information).
109 Make a copy of bash.exe in your djgpp bin/ directory. Call it "sh.exe". This
110 step is VERY IMPORTANT (otherwise all the scripts will fail).
112 Now, run the following from the d2x directory:
116 Hopefully things will work out and the package will build correctly for you.
119 * Serial and network support missing.
120 * Sound support missing.
126 Install the latest version of apple's developer tools.
127 Compile and install SDL from source: d2x doesn't use Project Builder.
129 configure and compile as with other unices.
132 * Serial and network support missing
133 * GL version very buggy
139 There are three places to report bugs and give feedback:
141 You can get on the descent-source mailing list by sending an email to
142 majordomo@warpcore.org with the body as: "subscribe descent-source
143 <your email address>". Discussions about the source code in general
144 are available here, and is the main list that d2x and d1x, a similar
145 project for descent 1, are discussed on. Patches and questions can be
146 posted there, as well.
148 Use Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.icculus.org/
150 Contact me directly, btb@icculus.org. I'll try to get back to you
151 ASAP, depending on real-life concerns =)
