This file describes how to compile D1X-Rebirth from source. To compile you´ll need: -gcc/g++ -mingw [windows] -nasm (optional, for sdl-build) -sdl -scons Building with SCons: * open SConstruct and change D1XDATAPATH to specify where the DESCENT data files are located * run "scons" with desired command-line options (see "scons -h" for complete list of options) * place the binary wherever you want to have it * copy your data files to the desired path you specified in "SConstruct" on D1XDATAPATH (see dxx-readme.txt for more information) Building with make: [not supported anymore!!! Please use SCons or fix on your own :)] * edit the "config" file and specify the output directory and the platform you´re running * edit the appropriate "config.linux" "config.mingw" or "config.other" file to chenge the options * run "make" * place the binary wherever you want to have it * copy your data files to the desired path you specified in "config" on DESCENT_DATA_PATH (see dxx-readme.txt for more information) If you run into any problems do not hesitate to contact me. eMail is: zico@unixboard.de
