This page explains how to build and test globulation2 for windows on a Debian GNU/Linux operating system.

For any problems or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me. [[User:Ion bidon|Ion bidon]]

Remark: if you use another mingw compiler than the one requested to download in this page, compilation might fail.

===Compile globulation2 for windows on Debian using mingw===

#install mingw :

#:<pre>apt-get install mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime</pre>

#install wine from the wine repository :

#:Change the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add <pre>deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/</pre>

#:<pre>apt-get update && apt-get install wine && ln -s /usr/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine-auto</pre>

#create the following directory :

#:<pre>mkdir libs</pre>

#download glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 :

#:<pre>wget http://globulation2.org/dev/glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2</pre>

#untar the libraries like this :

#:<pre>tar jxf glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 -C ./libs</pre>

#download boost c++ precompiled libraries :

#:<pre>wget http://viral.media.mit.edu/releases/boost-1.33.1-mingw-bin.tar.gz</pre>

#manually install boost c++ with the following commands :

#:<pre>tar zxf boost-1.33.1-mingw-bin.tar.gz</pre>

#:<pre>mv boost/include/boost-1_33_1/boost ./libs/include</pre>

#:<pre>mv boost/lib/* ./libs/lib</pre>

#Download a mingw compiler that works :

#:<pre>wget http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/videolan/testing/win32/mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.bz2</pre>

#As root, unpack the compiler (it will create a mingw directory in /usr/local) :

#:<pre>tar jxf mingw-gcc3.3.1-linux-crosscompiler.tar.bz2 -C /</pre>

#From the directory containing the libs directory, type the following :

#:<pre>export CC="i586-mingw32msvc-gcc"</pre>

#:<pre>export CXX="i586-mingw32msvc-g++"</pre>

#:<pre>export CFLAGS="-I$PWD/libs/include $CFLAGS"</pre>

#:<pre>export CXXFLAGS="-I$PWD/libs/include -I$PWD/libs/include/freetype2 $CXXFLAGS"</pre>

#:<pre>export LDFLAGS="-L$PWD/libs/lib $LDFLAGS"</pre>

#:<pre>export PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin:$PWD/libs/bin:$PATH</pre>

#:<pre>rm ./libs/bin/auto*</pre>

#:change the third line of ./libs/bin/sdl-config from prefix=/usr to point to the libs directory (hard path) or from the directory containing the libs directory, type:<br />

#:perl -e '$pwd=%ENV->{PWD};$tmp="";while(<>){chomp;if(s/prefix=\/usr/prefix=/g){$_="prefix=".$pwd."/libs"}$tmp.= $_."\n"}open(FI,"+< ./libs/bin/sdl-config");print FI $tmp;' ./libs/bin/sdl-config

#download glob2 cvs (as anonymous for example) :

#:<pre>export CVS_RSH="ssh"</pre>

#:<pre>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/glob2 co glob2</pre>

#:<pre>cd glob2</pre>

#:<pre>cp ../libs/bin/SDL.dll ../libs/bin/libvorbis-0.dll ../libs/bin/libogg-0.dll ../libs/bin/libvorbisenc-2.dll ../libs/bin/libfreetype-6.dll .</pre>

#:<pre>cp ../libs/lib/libvorbisfile.a ../libs/lib/libvorbis.a ../libs/lib/libogg.a .</pre>

#:Open the configure.in file, find:

#compiling glob2 :

#:<pre>./bootstrap</pre>

#:<pre>./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc</pre>

#:<pre>make</pre>

#To make the executable smaller :

#:<pre>strip ./src/glob2.exe</pre>

===Test globulation2 for windows on Debian ===

#download glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2

#:<pre>wget http://globulation2.org/dev/glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2</pre>

#extract it with :

#:<pre>tar jxf glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2</pre>

#go in the glob2 directory where you have compiled glob2 and type

#:<pre>./syncdata</pre>

#:<pre>./syncmaps</pre>

#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 wine glob2.exe from the glob2_runtime directory and play :)
