Compile globulation2 on windows using mingw
- install MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe in a directory (Mingw download page)
- 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.
- install msysDTK-1.0.1.exe in the same directory that you installed mingw and msys (Mingw download page)
- run msys.bat from the installation directory
- download glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 :
wget http://globulation2.org/dev/glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2
- untar the libraries like this :
tar jxf glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 -C /
- download boost c++ precompiled libraries :
wget http://viral.media.mit.edu/releases/boost-1.33.1-mingw-bin.tar.gz
- manually install boost c++ with the following commands :
tar zxf boost-1.33.1-mingw-bin.tar.gz
mv boost/include/boost-1_33_1/boost /usr/include
mv boost/lib/* /usr/lib
- download glob2 cvs (as anonymous for example) :
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/glob2 co glob2
- 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"
- compiling glob2 :
./bootstrap
./configure
make
- To make the executable smaller :
strip ./src/glob2.exe
Test globulation2 on windows :
- download glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2
wget http://globulation2.org/dev/glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2
- extract it with :
tar jxf glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2
- go in the glob2 directory where you have compiled glob2 and type
./syncdata
./syncmaps
- copy the content of glob2/data/ to glob2_runtime/data/
- copy the content of glob2/maps/ to glob2_runtime/maps/
- copy glob2.exe which is in the src directory (glob2/src/) to glob2_runtime/
- run glob2.exe from the glob2_runtime directory and play :)
