INSTALL.original

Cubosphere Beta 0.3a Unix installation
########################################

As usual, you will have to compile it from source. 
This will take place in two steps:

	1. Get the needed libraries
	2. Call make install (as root)

1. Get the needed libraries
###########################
Cubosphere uses the following libraries:
	
	OpenGL		 			//Make sure, you have installed a valid 3d accelerated driver
	Lua 5.1		(liblua5.1)
	GLEW 1.5	(libglew1.5)
	SDL 1.2		(libsdl1.2)	
	SDL_ttf 2.0	(libsdl-ttf2.0)
	SDL_mixer 1.2	(libsdl_mixer1.2)
	JPEG 6.2 	(libjpeg6.2)		//Version 8 should also work

Since the compilation process also needs the header files, please install the relating development packages, too. 
	
Depending on your Linux installation there are different ways to install those libraries.
I.e. with Debian/Ubuntu you can use "apt-get".

Install all dependencies, too.

If I missed listing a libraries needed to compile or if you have another Linux distribution 
and you managed it to compile Cubosphere successfully on your system please send a mail to

	cubosphere@web.de

with a simple way to install it on your system.


2. Call make
############

Change into the src-subdirectory.

If you simply call

	make

g++ will compile the source.


The command

	make install

Will install Cubosphere. Please execute this command as root.


If Cubosphere does not compile on your system please send me the output of make to

	cubosphere@web.de

Otherwise - if "make install" returns without any error - try entering 

	cubosphere

to start Cubosphere.

Have Fun!


3. Troubleshooting
