Revision as of 02:47, 27 December 2005

The GiGi GUI library (also called GG) is used by FreeOrion to handle most of the basic UI and graphics things (windows, fonts, input, images, and such). It uses (at least in this project) SDL internally for platform-dependant things, and OpenGL for graphics.

An important link between this library and FreeOrion is that tzlaine is the head programmer of both projects.


CVS can be obtained in Linux using these commands:

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gigi login (if it asks for password, just hit enter)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gigi co GG

Note: Sometimes, the SourceForge CVS-server is under heavy load. If the commands above fail with 'EOF from server', just wait a few minutes and try again.

Note: For compilation of FreeOrion 0.3 or 0.3.1, use the official version 0.6.0 release. Tarball (linux) or zipfile (Windows) are available on the sourceforge GiGi 0.6.0 release download page. The 0.6.0 tagged set of files is messed up, so you must use the release files and NOT the CVS 0.6.0 tagged version of the files.
