Steed 0.2

=============



WARNING! For successfull building you must install these development packages (names may vary in your distribution):



	sdl, sdl-mixer, sdl-image, sdl-ttf, lua5.1



0) Prepare for building

=======================



Unpack source package with this command:

	$ tar xzvf instead_<version>.tar.gz



Change current dir to project's build dir:

	$ cd instead-<version>



There are several ways to build package.



1) On Debian based systems you can build deb package

====================================================

	$ sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-dev libreadline-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev

	$ sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper

	$ debuild

	$ cd ..

	$ sudo dpkg -i instead_<version>.deb



2) On gentoo or arch linux 

==========================

Install stable version from AUR:

	$ yaourt -S instead



Or build from svn:

	$ make PKGBUILD

	$ makepkg -s



And, I think, you have enough skills to build package yourself. ;)



3) For other distributions 

==========================

You have a two choices:

	a) try run ./configure.sh and follow instructions

or

	b) do all things manually



4) Manual build

===============



To build game, that runs just from build dir use Rules.make.standalone

----------------------------------------------------------------------

	$ rm -f Rules.make

	$ ln -s Rules.make.standalone Rules.make

	$ make clean

	$ make



If build process has failed check Rules.make.standalone and make changes if needed.



	$ ./sdl-instead



To build game for system install

--------------------------------

	$ rm -f Rules.make

	$ ln -s Rules.make.system Rules.make

	$ make clean

	$ make



If build process has failed check Rules.make.system and make changes if needed.



	$ sudo make install



	$ sdl-instead



Enjoy.

- Does not clears up when Alt+Q _and_ game is unpacked [INSTEAD bug]

- Free Software Foundation insists on placing GPL preamble in every file; this is not the case.
