Required some libs for work.

SDL

SDL is a crossplatform library used to display graphics. It is required in order to compile the opencaesar3.

Windows

SDL comes with no installer on Windows, you simply extract the zip into a random directory and reference it. Pointing your compiler at SDL is discussed in the compiler-specific pages.

You want to grab the '''Development Library''' on [http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php this page] that compliments your compiler.

  • If you are using Visual Studio, get the one labeled "VC".
  • If you are using MinGW, get the one labeled "Mingw32". If you don't have anything to extract a tar.gz file with, install [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip]. You will also need to download the library itself, as the MinGW package does not come with the .dll file.

Linux

There is usually a copy of SDL and SDL_mixer included in the repositories of your distribution of choice:

  • CentOS (requires [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL EPEL] for SDL_mixer): yum install SDL-devel
  • Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install libsdl-dev
  • Fedora: yum install SDL-devel
  • openSUSE: zypper in SDL-devel

Otherwise, you can grab the latest source distribution of SDL from [http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php here].

SDL_mixer

SDL_mixer is a compliment to SDL, and handles both sound and music. It is required in order to compile the Odamex client.

Windows

SDL_mixer comes with no installer on Windows, you simply extract the zip into a random directory and reference it. Pointing your compiler at SDL_mixer is discussed in the compiler-specific pages.

You want to grab the '''Development Library''' on [http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ this page]. It is labeled '''SDL_mixer-devel''' and works with both Visual Studio and MinGW.

Linux

There is usually a copy of SDL and SDL_mixer included in the repositories of your distribution of choice:

  • CentOS (requires [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL EPEL] for SDL_mixer): yum install SDL_mixer-devel
  • Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
  • Fedora: yum install SDL_mixer-devel
  • openSUSE: zypper in SDL_mixer-devel

Otherwise, you can grab the latest source distribution of SDL_mixer from [http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ here].
