Requirements
============
The NeL library need the following libraries :
- STLPort 4.0
- FreeType 2
On a GNU/Linux platform you will need the following libraries and
softwares :
- Mesa
- Autoconf
- Automake
- Libtool
- Lex / Flex
- Yacc / Bison
Most of these softwares should be already installed on your system or
provided on your installation disk.
Compilation
===========
1. Windows compilation
----------------------
The compilation on Windows has been done only with Visual C++ 6.0 SP4.
Set up Visual C++ to find the STLPort and FreeType libraries. This
is done in the [Tools -> Options -> Directories] menu :
- Add the STLPort include directory to the "Library Files" category.
ex: D:/stlport-4.0/stlport
- Add the STLPort library directory to the "Library Files" category.
ex: D:/stlport-4.0/lib
- Add the FreeType include directory to the "Include Files" category.
ex: D:/freetype-2.0/include
- Add the FreeType library directory to the "Library Files" category.
ex: D:/freetype-2.0/obj
Open the workspace file "nel.dsw" (in the menu [File -> Workspace]).
Setup Visual C++ to find the NeL include and library files :
- Add the NEL include directory to the "Library Files" category.
ex: D:/test/code/nel/include
- Add the STLPort library directory to the "Library Files" category.
ex: D:/test/code/nel/lib
2. GNU/Linux compilation
------------------------
The compilation on GNU/Linux has been done only on RedHat 6.2 with
GCC 2.96.
In the NeL directory do :
% ./configure --with-stlport=
% make
The "configure" script must be call with the "--with-stlport" option.
This option permit to override the default STL headers.
You migth need to specify the FreeType 2 installation prefix by using
the "--with-freetype" argument (ex: "/usr/local" will look for the
header files in "/usr/local/include" and the library files in the
"/usr/local/lid/ directory).
To pass additional arguments to the C++ compiler, use the command line :
% CXXFLAGS=-pipe ./configure --with-stlport=
To get the complete list of arguments of the "configure" script use the
following command :
% ./configure --help
In the case that you need to rebuild the "configure" script and/or the
"Makefile.in" files, execute the "bootstrap" script in the NeL
directory :
% ./bootstrap
