Installation instructions for Stratagus 2.1
Software Requirements
Hardware Requirements
- Processor: A 300 MHz CPU (faster recommended).
NOTE: Stratagus is believed to be endian and word size safe, so other
architectures like (big endian) PPC or (64bit) Alpha should also
work at least with Linux.
- Memory: 64 MB of RAM.
- Video Card: Any graphics card that can handle 16 bpp
and 640x480 is supported. (Use of OpenGL requires a 32MB Card)
- Sound Card: Optional.
Installation
Mac OS X users: Extract the "contrib/macosx.tgz" file to the
top-level directory and read "Read Me.rtf".
- Step 1, Download and Extract:
-
Download the source code.
NOTE: both the tar.gz and zip files are the same,
we provide both formats for convenience.
- Extract the source stratagus-DATE.tar.gz with
'tar -zxvf stratagus-DATE.tar.gz'
- Step 2, Compile:
- GCC/Mingw users:
- Run './autogen.sh' then './configure' to create the Makefile.
- When complete, type 'make depend && make' to compile, and
it should compile a working 'stratagus' (or 'stratagus.exe' for win32)
binary.
- MSVC users:
-
Download the VC++ libraries and extract them into the root
stratagus directory.
- Open the workspace file stratagus.sln and compile.
- Step 3, Run:
You may now go into the toplevel stratagus directory and run the binary.
Remember, you have to obtain some game data to start the engine.
Stratagus looks in './data', if your data is in a different location
you will need to run stratagus with the '-d' option. Games can be found
here.
