Building and Installing from Source

Installing from source means you will have to compile the game yourself. But first, you'll need the Allacrost code. Either get the tarball from our Sourceforge page, or check it out from our Subversion Repository.

[edit]

GNU/Linux and OS X

Inside a terminal, execute the following commands from inside the allacrost/ directory: 

autoreconf -i
./configure && make
sudo make install

Note that "make install" is optional, and you must run it as root, or use sudo. You can run allacrost from within the source allacrost/ directory by running "./allacrost".

[edit]

Windows

[edit]

Visual Studio (VS) 2005

Load the Allacrost VS Project file, Allacrost.vcproj. It is in the root directory of the source archive.

Download develop package from http://www.allacrost.org/staff/libs/win/allarost-dep-win32-vc8sp1.zip, and add them to proper include and lib directories in vs2005.

At last, you have to copy all dll files to your project directory. (you can find those in allacrost windows demo directory, download from sourceforge)

This does not include the map editor, you have to install QT (kind of windows programming framework) for compiling that. Currently we're using QT 4.3.

MinGW (from Linux)

These are instructions for cross-compiling Allacrost for Windows from Linux. You will need mingw installed on a Linux machine. In Debian or Ubuntu, this is as simple as "aptitude install mingw32".

You will need an Allacrost dependency archive. For latest stable, Demo 0.2.2, or latest svn. The last known svn version to compile with this archive is svn 1503.

Unzip your dependency file into your home directory. Now change to the root directory of your Allacrost source archive (ie ~/svn/allacrost/demo/). Execute the following: 

autoreconf -i
./configure
~/allacrost-win32-depends/Makefiles/make.sh
