No documentation #44

Open fedeb95 opened 6 years ago

fedeb95 commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to build the code under Linux, but I have no idea of which dependencies are required. Also writing in the readme that the Makefile.linux must be renamed could be good.

This is the first error, but I think more would come:

platform.h:110:11: fatal error: AL/al.h: No such file or directory

include <AL/al.h>

I tried the installer from the website, but a segmentation fault arises. Please add some documentation about dependencies.

If someone runs into the same problem: the installer needs an environment variable DATA_DIR set with a directory of your choice. For the building part, after searching all the missing includes on the web it compiles, but misses some configuration files - explaining something more in the readme could be of use. Be sure to use the last cal3d or it will give link errors

Sorry you've had issues with the official download, there are updated binaries available on my website but I built them in the same way as the download you have tried so you may have the same issues. If you find out more on the problem, please let us know.

You should not need to rename the makefile, just use: make -f Makefile.linux

There are threads on the game forum about compiling the client. The Linux thread is still valid.

I'll have a look at improving the readme....

Thank you for the tip about make and the links, I'll read them as soon as I can try again to build under fedora (my other pc's hard disk departed us). Since the website points to this repository I opened an issue exclusively because of the readme
