Mingw compilation

Compile globulation2 on windows using mingw

1. install MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe in a directory (Mingw download page)
2. install MSYS-1.0.10.exe in the same directory (Mingw download page)
   -follow the steps of the installer and at the end it will ask you in a console if you have mingw installed. You must say yes and after, indicate the directory where it is installed.
3. install msysDTK-1.0.1.exe in the same directory that you installed mingw and msys (Mingw download page)
4. run msys.bat from the installation directory
5. download [Media:Glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2]
6. untar the libraries like this :
   • tar jxf glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 -C /
7. download glob2 cvs (as anonymous for example) :
   • export CVS_RSH="ssh"
   • cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/glob2 co glob2
8. prerequisites before compiling glob2 :
   • cd glob2
   • cp /usr/bin/SDL.dll /usr/bin/libvorbis-0.dll /usr/bin/libogg-0.dll /usr/bin/libvorbisenc-2.dll /usr/bin/libfreetype-6.dll .
   • change in configure.in :
     CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $SDL_CFLAGS"
        with
     CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $SDL_CFLAGS -I/usr/include/freetype2"
     LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS `sdl-config --libs` -lSDL_ttf"
9. compiling glob2 :
   • ./bootstrap
   • ./configure
   • make
10. To make the executable smaller :
    • strip ./src/glob2.exe

Test globulation2 on windows :

1. type wget ... to download [Media:glob2_runtime.tar.bz2]
2. extract it with
   • tar jxf glob2_runtime.tar.bz2
3. go in the glob2 directory where you have compiled glob2 and type
   • ./syncdata
   • ./syncmaps
4. copy the content of glob2/data/ to glob2_runtime/data/
5. copy the content of glob2/maps/ to glob2_runtime/maps/
6. copy glob2.exe which is in the src directory (glob2/src/) to glob2_runtime/
7. run glob2.exe from the glob2_runtime directory and play :)
