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.)
58 d2x doesn't use Cygwin, but it makes building it easier (to me).
59 You can probably build it with just MinGW, but I haven't tried yet.
61 * NASM 0.98 (OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED)
63 Note that SDL.dll needs to be in your executable PATH, since that is
64 where windows looks for dlls.
65 I recommend copying or moving it to /usr/local/bin:
66 cp /usr/local/lib/SDL.dll /usr/local/bin
68 If you need to run autogen.sh (e.g. to rebuild the configure scripts,
69 or to build from cvs) sdl.m4 will have to be somewhere where aclocal
71 You can fix this by setting the ACLOCAL_FLAGS variable like this:
72 export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=/usr/local/share/aclocal
74 Now you can configure d2x as normal. i.e.
77 ./configure --with-opengl
79 automake/autoconf in cygwin has a problem with not always putting the
80 .exe extentions where they need to be. So you may have to run make
82 make && make d2x-sdl.exe
84 make && make d2x-gl.exe
86 Then just copy your executable and SDL.dll into the descent2 directory.
92 Dos support isn't a high priority right now, so things may be a little
97 The following DJGPP packages are ALL REQUIRED (newer versions are ok)!
101 bnu281b.zip gcc2952b.zip mak3781b.zip bsh1147b.zip sed302b.zip
102 m4-14b.zip acnf213b.zip gwk304b.zip txt20b.zip grep22b.zip dif272b.zip
103 So many packages are needed to support the autoconf build system that d2x
105 * NASM v0.98 or better is REQUIRED
109 Install all of the djgpp packages above. Make sure that DJGPP is properly
110 configure (see the DJGPP docs for more information).
111 Make a copy of bash.exe in your djgpp bin/ directory. Call it "sh.exe". This
112 step is VERY IMPORTANT (otherwise all the scripts will fail).
114 Now, run the following from the d2x directory:
118 Hopefully things will work out and the package will build correctly for you.
121 * Serial and network support missing.
122 * Sound support missing.
128 Install the latest version of apple's developer tools.
129 You may also need to install automake and autoconf.
130 Download and install SDL.
132 configure and compile as with other unices.
134 The final linking will probably fail (because of circular
135 dependencies, I think) Until I fix it or find a better workaround,
136 I've just been linking by hand (i.e. gcc [...] -o d2x-sdl `find
137 . -name "*.o"` [...])
140 * Serial and network support missing
141 * GL version very buggy
147 You can get on the descent-source mailing list by sending an email to
148 majordomo@warpcore.org with the body as: "subscribe descent-source
149 <your email address>". Discussions about the source code in general
150 are available here, and is the main list that d2x and d1x, a similar
151 project for descent 1, are discussed on. Patches and questions can be
152 posted there, as well.

156 Contact me directly, btb@icculus.org. I'll try to get back to you
157 ASAP, depending on real-life concerns =)
