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]] [https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion from GitHub]. The versions available on the [[project page]] are official releases or point releases, and may be somewhat or very out of date.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 Git master repository latest version. Then you need to set up the required software, compile the game, and run it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Hardware requirements==
| + | |
| − | The FreeOrion code makes heavy use of templates, and requires much memory to compile; 4 GB or more RAM is recommended.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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; on a Core i7 system it can be under 10 minutes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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 and OSX, most dependencies are available pre-compiled in the [[Compile#FreeOrion SDK|FreeOrion SDK]].'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[GiGi]] - Including GiGiOgre and the GiGiOgre OIS plugin. The code for these is included in the FreeOrion SVN repository, but they must be built as separate libraries.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.boost.org/ Boost] - '''version 1.56''' or later.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.freetype.org FreeType2] - a GiGi dependency. version 2.4.3 is known to work.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.python.org/download/ Python] - '''version 2.7 or later''' ('''version 2.x only; 3.x will not work''')
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.openal.org/downloads.html OpenAL]
| + | |
| − | * [http://xiph.org/downloads/ libogg] - '''version 1.1.3 or later''' 1.2.1 is known to work.
| + | |
| − | * [http://xiph.org/downloads/ libvorbis] - '''version 1.1.2 or later''' 1.3.2 is known to work.
| + | |
| − | * [http://glew.sourceforge.net/ GLEW] - (Windows only) version 1.5.7 is known to work.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.zlib.net/ zlib] - version 1.2.5 is known to work with libpng 1.4.4
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html libpng] - ''' versions 1.2 and 1.4 work'''

| − | ==Getting the source==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Git===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The source code can be obtained from [https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion freeorion/freeorion/master] repository on GitHub.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====SourceForge Subversion====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Prior to March 2015, FreeOrion source code was stored and managed on [http://sourceforge.net/p/freeorion/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/ SourceForge Subversion] (SVN). This repository is now retired, and future development with occur on GitHub.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===FreeOrion SDK===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are Software Development Kits (SDKs) availaboe for Windows and MacOSX which contain precompiled dependencies needed for building FreeOrion from source. You may download and build all of these open-source dependencies yourself if you prefer. Using the SDK is likely faster and easier, however.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The SDKs do not contain the FreeOrion source code, which must be retrieved using git.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Git Tarballs===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Release builds are [https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/releases tagged in the freeorion/freeorion GitHub repository]. Zipped downloads of the repository are available there.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Subversion Tarballs (old)===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The SourceForge Subversion web-client allows one to download pre-March-2015 numbered versions of the source code as a tarball:
