Compiling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SConstruct file provides various options to compile this program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get a full list of all available commands, type scons -h within the Source directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the following variables are supported:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'sharepath=DIR' (*NIX only) use DIR for shared game data. (default: /usr/local/share/games/d1x-rebirth)
|
|
|
|
|
|
'sdl_only=1' don't include OpenGL, use SDL-only instead
|
|
|
|
|
|
'sdlmixer=1' (*NIX only) use SDL_Mixer for sound (includes external music support)
|
|
|
|
|
|
'shareware=1' build SHAREWARE version
|
2007-09-28 22:44:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
'asm=1' use ASSEMBLER code (only with sdl_only=1, requires NASM and x86)
|
2007-05-03 15:44:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
'debug=1' build DEBUG binary which includes asserts, debugging output, cheats and more output
|
|
|
|
|
|
'profiler=1' do profiler build
|
|
|
|
|
|
'editor=1' build editor !EXPERIMENTAL!
|
|
|
|
|
|
'arm=1' compile for ARM architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
‘sdlmixer’ as well as ‘editor’ are currently *not* supported and may not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To compile the source, type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scons
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to add additional commands, just add them to the scons command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-28 22:44:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
scons sdl_only=1 asm=1
|
2007-05-03 15:44:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the compiled binary to your system (/usr/local/bin/), type (as root):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scons install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also add the ‘install’ command while compile-time. SCons will compile and install the binary right after that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To clean up the source directory after installation, type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scons -c
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Needed files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since D1X-Rebirth is a Sourceport of the Descent1-Engine you will need the Game-Content data files to run the game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Following files are needed to run the game:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
descent.hog
|
|
|
|
|
|
descent.pig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These files should be located on the Descent1 CD-Rom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that those files must be patched to version 1.4a.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a patch suitable for *NIX systems (diff-files) available at:
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.dxx-rebirth.de/download/dxx/res/descent1_patch14a-linux.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Patching can also be done from Windows/DOS using the DOS 1.4a-patch of Parallax, that will patch a common Descent1 installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DOS 1.4a patch: http://www.dxx-rebirth.de/download/dxx/res/descent1_patch14a.exe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Those files need to be copied to the Sharepath, which is (if not specified with the SCons ‘sharepath’-variable) /usr/local/share/games/d1x-rebirth/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To play the Multiplayer levelset “Total Chaos”, also copy the files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
chaos.hog
|
|
|
|
|
|
chaos.msn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the subdirectory ‘missions/’ in your Sharepath. These files should also be located on the Descent1 CD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
