To install on Unix:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you checked out the source from Mercurial, run 'autoreconf' first.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Build by running './configure' and then 'make'. If you just want to play the
|
||||||
|
game from your own user account, 'configure' won't need any options. The
|
||||||
|
games will keep the high score lists in whatever directory you run them from.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a multi-user installation, you will need to set the '--enable-setgid',
|
||||||
|
'--enable-savedir', '--enable-scorefile', and '--enable-logfile' options. Run
|
||||||
|
'make install' after building.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are other possible options; run './configure --help' for a full list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To install on Windows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use the included Visual Studio solution files. Warning: they have not been
|
||||||
|
tested recently.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See the individual games' subdirectories for further documentation. Some of
|
||||||
|
the manpages may be outdated, but the guides to playing should be accurate.
