A page in your DokuWiki was added or changed. Here are the details:

Date        : 2006/12/30 03:14
User        : ryo
Edit Summary: created

Those are some tips & tricks & info for people wanting to do development.

FIXME should be put in other pages, more adapted to the subject :)

  * to make the client-side images archives: in server sources, run ''adm/lib/collect_images.pl -archive''. This will generate ''crossfire-images.tar'' in the server root, containing wanted files.
  * Windows users need the following to compile the server:
    * Microsoft Visual Studio 6 (service pack 4 probably). Server has not been tested with other versions.
    * [[http://www.python.org|Python 2.3]] to build the Python plugin. Warning: using a more recent version will make the server crash at startup, due to incompatibilities in memory allocation routines
    * to build the installer, you need [[http://nsis.sourceforge.net|NSIS]], and [[http://www.perl.org|PERL]] (for maps installer).
  * Windows users need the following to compile the client:
    * [[http://www.gtk.org|GTK]]. An installer with all required dependencies can be found at the [[http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/|Glade/GTK+ project]]. **Warning**: you'll need to add ~10 directories to include list, and rename some files around (like copy ''libpng.lib'' to ''png.lib''). Don't ask why here, ask Glade/GTK+ project instead :)
    * current SVN (end of 2006) is somewhat broken, and requires some tweaking to build (need to ''undef HAVE_SDL'', comment out lines, add files, and such). That may be fixed or not eventually.
  * if making new archetypes and faces, remember your face must be called ''myface.base.111.png'', not ''myface.111.png'' (''base'' is the image set)
