~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Introduction
LinCity-NG is a city simulation game. It is a polished and improved
version of the classic LinCity game. In the game, you are required
to build and maintain a city. You can win the game either by
building a sustainable economy or by evacuating all citizens with
spaceships.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Building and Installation
These are generic instructions, please see the wiki for more specific instructions
2.1 Prerequisites
The game depends on some tools and libraries to be present, before
you can start building it. Here's a list of them:
* normal gnu compiler and additional tools (g++ version 3.2 or later is
required at the moment)
* perforce jam 2.5 or later (used as build tool)
ftp://ftp.perforce.com/pub/jam
* SDL 1.2.5 or later
http://www.libsdl.org
* SDL_mixer 1.2.4 or later (with ogg-support enabled)
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
* SDL_image 1.2.3 or later (with png support)
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
* SDL_ttf 2.0.8 or later
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/
* SDL_gfx 2.0.13 or later
http://www.ferzkopp.net/~aschiffler/Software/SDL_gfx-2.0
* PhysicsFS 1.0.0 or later (use stable, NOT development branch 1.1.0)
http://www.icculus.org/physfs/
* zlib 1.0 or later
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
* libxml 2.6.11 or later
http://xmlsoft.org/
If you use packages from you distribution pay attention that you need
the header files in addition to the libraries. They are often in
separate *-dev packages. Eg. for physfs you need libphysfs and libphysfs-dev.
2.2 Building
To build and install the game use the following commands:
./configure
jam
If you want to install the game, run as root:
jam install
(If you compile the svn version you have to run ./autogen.sh first.)
The configure script also lets you set some more options like the installation
directory (--prefix argument). You'll get a full list of these if you invoke
"configure --help".
2.3 Starting the game
You can start the game by typing
lincity-ng
2.4 Exit the game
If you are in the main menu, you can quit the program also by
pressing 'ESCAPE' or '^c'. This might be a way to terminate the
program even if the selected video-mode is not working as expected.
