The *BSD genus of operating systems might also work; follow the Linux instructions in this case. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Overview==
| + | Consult the [https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/blob/master/BUILD.md build instructions] in the project git repository. |
| − | First of all, you will need to obtain the [[source]]. This can be grabbed from our [[project page]] or from Subversion (SVN). The versions available on the [[project page]] are official releases or point releases, and may be somewhat or very out of date. To help with [[programming]] [[FreeOrion]], you will need to grab the SVN copy. Then you need to set up the required software, compile the game, download the missing artwork, and run it.

| − | ==Hardware requirements==
| + | |
| − | The FreeOrion code makes heavy use of templates, and requires much memory to compile; 2 GB or more RAM is reccomended.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On Linux, shutting down your X server and compiling from console may help on systems with little RAM. (If this doesn't mean anything to you, simply ignore this advice.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You will also need a fast processor. To build GG and FreeOrion, expect up to 45 minutes of a Core i5 system, or over an hour on a Core2 Duo system.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | At least 2 GB of free disk space is also recommended.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note that, while not required to compile FreeOrion, running the FreeOrion client requires a graphics card and drivers that support OpenGL 2.0.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Software requirements==
| + | |
| − | '''Note: On Windows, most dependencies are available pre-compiled in the FreeOrion SDK.'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[GiGi]] - Latest version from [http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=84040 SourceForge SVN], will automatically be included in the FreeOrion/GG directory when checking out the FreeOrion Subversion archive
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.boost.org/ Boost] - '''version 1.42''' (Other versions may also work)
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.ogre3d.org/ Ogre 3D] - '''version 1.6.1''' or later. 1.7 is known to work.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/wordpress/ Bullet] - '''version 2.73'''
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.freetype.org FreeType2] - a GiGi dependency
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.python.org/download/ Python] - '''version 2.4 or later''' ('''version 2.5 if using the FreeOrion Windows SDK''') ('''version 2.x only; 3.x will not work''')
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.openal.org/downloads.html OpenAL and ALUT]

| − | * [http://www.graphviz.org/ GraphViz] - '''version 2.8''' ('''version < 2.22''' on Linux)
| + | |
| − | * [http://glew.sourceforge.net/ GLEW] - (Windows only)
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.zlib.net/ zlib]
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html libpng] - ''' version 1.2 works, or there is [http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44430#p44430 a patch] for 1.4'''

| − | ==Getting the source==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Subversion===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The source code can be obtained from the sourceforge Subversion server, using this command from the Linux command prompt:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | svn co https://freeorion.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freeorion/trunk freeorion
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For Windows, a graphical shell-extension SVN client, such as [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN] is recommended, with which the source can be obtained from ''https://freeorion.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freeorion''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Alternatively, you can download the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=75752&package_id=236893 FreeOrion Windows SDK] and update that directory tree with SVN.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Tarballs===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The SourceForge Subversion web-client allows one to download numbered versions of the source code as a tarball.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The latest version can be obtained from the '''Download GNU tarball''' link on the bottom of this page: ''http://freeorion.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeorion/trunk/FreeOrion/''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can also download source versions corresponding to previous releases:
