atrogue/INSTALL - installation instructions This file is part of atrogue, a "Rogue-like game" created by Arne Thomassen; atrogue is basically released under certain versions of the GNU General Public License and WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. Read the file COPYING for license details, README for game information. Copyright (C) 2001-2003 Arne Thomassen To install atrogue, do the following: - Uncompress the compressed atrogue archive file, for example with one of the following commands: either: tar -xz < atrogue-0.2.0.tar.gz or: gzip -d atrogue-0.2.0.tar.gz; tar -xf atrogue-0.2.0.tar This will create a new directory named "atrogue-0.2.0" in the same directory which contains the compressed file. - Change into the newly created directory: cd atrogue-0.2.0 - You might want to change some of the configuration option settings, e.g. the color support (default: enabled), the C compiler (default: gcc) or the "curses" library (default: ncurses). - To do this, open the file "Makefile" in a text editor (emacs, vi, ...) and change the options as described there. Don't forget to save the changes! :-) More information about these settings can be found in the file atrogue/docu/config.html. - Build an executable binary file ("the program") from the source code files: make - Now you can start the game: ./atrogue That's it. Have fun!
