Building for Linux

Version Requirements

Zooshi is known to build with the following tool versions:

• autoconf: 2.69
• automake: 1.141
• cmake: 2.8.12
• cwebp: 0.4.0 (available from the WebP Precompiled Utilities page)
• GLU: libglu1-mesa-dev 8.0.4
• ImageMagick: 6.7.7-10
• libtool: 2.4.2
• OpenGL: libglapi-mesa 8.0.4
• OSS Proxy Daemon: osspd 1.3.2
• Python: 2.7.6
• Ragel: 6.9

Before Building

Prior to building, install the following components using the Linux distribution's package manager:

• autoconf, automake, and libtool
• cmake (You can also manually install from cmake.org.)
• cwebp (webp)
• GLU (libglu1-mesa-dev)
• ImageMagick
• OpenGL (libglapi-mesa)
• OSS Proxy Daemon (osspd)
• Python
• Ragel

For example, on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake cmake imagemagick libglapi-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev libtool osspd python ragel webp

Building

• Generate makefiles from the cmake project in the zooshi directory.
• Execute make to build the game.

For example:

cd zooshi
cmake -G'Unix Makefiles'
make

To perform a debug build:

cd zooshi
cmake -G'Unix Makefiles' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make

Build targets can be configured using options exposed in zooshi/CMakeLists.txt by using cmake's -D option. Build configuration set using the -D option is sticky across subsequent builds.

For example, if a build is performed using:

cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make

to switch to a release build CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE must be explicitly specified:

cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make

Executing the Game

After building the project, you can execute the game from the command line. For example:

./bin/zooshi
