Install instructions for Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (DCSS)
--------------------------------------------------------
(Last updated on 20090728 for Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup 0.5.1.)

Getting DCSS to run
-------------------

This file describes how to compile a runtime executable of DCSS from the
source code. If you're trying to compile Crawl yourself, skip ahead to the
next section, "Building Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup".

If, however, you're having trouble getting a precompiled binary to run:

1) Check whether you've downloaded and extracted the correct version.

    Platform        Tiles?          Download package
    --------        ------          ----------------
    Windows         yes             stone_soup-VERSION-tiles-win32.zip
    Windows         no              stone_soup-VERSION-win32.zip
    Mac/OSX         yes             stone_soup-VERSION-tiles-osx.zip
                                    or stone_soup-VERSION-tiles-osx-app.dmg
    Mac/OSX         no              stone_soup-VERSION-osx.zip
                                    or stone_soup-VERSION-osx-app.dmg
    DOS             no              stone_soup-VERSION-dos.zip
    Source code     yes             stone_soup-VERSION-src.zip
                                    or stone_soup-VERSION-src.tbz2

2) Try removing/renaming your saves/ directory in case older saves aren't
   recognized anymore.

3) If you're playing on a Mac, maybe the following instructions (provided
   by atastypie) will help you:

   * Download Stone Soup 0.5.x Tiles binaries for OS X.
   * Extract to your Desktop.
   * Download Fink 0.9.0.
     (http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en)
   * Mount the Fink image.
   * Run the Fink installer from the image.
   * It will ask for your administrator password. Type it and hit Enter.
   * Start Terminal.
   * Type "sudo apt-get install libpng3 freetype2 sdl sdl-image".
   * It will ask for your administrator password. Type it and hit Enter.
   * Type "cd Desktop/ston" => Tab => Enter. Hitting Tab will auto-complete
     the folder name.
     (This is again assuming you extracted Crawl 0.5.x onto your Desktop.)
   * Type "./crawl_tiles".

   Edit: This all assumes you have developer tools / xcode installed off of
         your OSX cd like I do. If you don't, and you get through all this and
         it still doesn't work, install it. It will be in the Tools directory
         of your Leopard install disc. This shouldn't be a requirement to just
         run the game, though.

   Also, some players reported error message like the following:

      dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libpng12.0.dylib
      Referenced from:
      /PATH/stone_soup-0.5-tiles-osx/crawl_tiles
      Reason: image not found
      Trace/BPT trap
      logout

      [Process completed]

   ... to which atastypie (again!) replied:

   The missing PNG error occurs if you try and run the tiles version by
   double clicking on it. You actually need to run X11 -> open a terminal
   -> go to the crawl directory -> ./crawl_tiles


If you still can't get Crawl to run, you can ask for further help on
rec.games.roguelike.misc. Please try to be as detailed as possible about any
error messages you're getting.

The rest of the file deals with compiling from the source.


Building Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
---------------------------------

Crawl Stone Soup is known to compile successfully on the following
platforms as of version 0.3:

- Any Unix with a recent gcc (and g++), GNU make and libncurses,
  including Linux and Mac OS X. "Recent" is defined as gcc 3.3 or
  newer.
- Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP. The game will also run on Windows 9X
  and ME. DOS binaries can also be compiled on Windows NT+.

The only supported compiler is gcc (available on almost all Unixes,
and as djgpp for DOS, and MinGW for Windows).

Other platforms are unsupported, but you should be able to build Crawl
on pretty much any operating system with a modern C++ compiler (full
support for the standard C++ library, in particular <string>, the
collection classes and <algorithm> is necessary) and the curses
library.


Optional libraries
------------------

Crawl can be built with some optional features:

* Sounds
* Regular expressions
* User Lua scripts
* Unicode characters for the map (Unix only).

Crawl Stone Soup also uses a level compiler to compile special level
definitions; to make changes to the level compiler, you'll need the
flex and bison/byacc tools (Other lex/yaccs may also work). More
details are available below.

Sounds must be enabled by editing AppHdr.h (uncomment
SOUND_PLAY_COMMAND on Unixes or WINMM_PLAY_SOUNDS on Windows).

Regular expressions require libpcre on non-Unix operating systems. On
Unixes, the standard POSIX regular expression support is adequate for
Crawl's needs.

Stone Soup 0.3 includes Lua 5.1.2 in its source tree. Crawl uses Lua
for dungeon generation. In addition, Crawl has a (rudimentary) Lua
interface for users to run scripts which can do things such as
conditionalise parts of the .crawlrc/init.txt. Such user Lua scripts
are enabled by default, but can be turned off by removing
-DCLUA_BINDINGS from your makefile.

Unicode support needs libncursesw and its header files; these are
usually available in your operating system's package-management
system. Unicode is not supported on Windows or DOS. Some systems, such
as Mac OS X, may have Unicode support available in libncurses itself
(i.e., without a separate libncursesw).


Makefile system
---------------

Crawl uses a selector makefile (under source/makefile) to control what
platform it's building for. Your first step in building Crawl should be
to edit source/makefile and point it at the correct platform makefile.
For instance, if you're building for Windows, you'd use
MAKEFILE=makefile.mgw to build with MinGW for Windows (# is used for
comments in makefiles).

Consult the operating-system specific sections for detailed
information on building Crawl. When you're done building Crawl, look
at the section "Data files" for important information on what files
Crawl needs as it starts up.


Building on Unix (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc.)
---------------------------------------------

Security:

If you have untrusted local users, we highly recommend you do not
install Crawl setgid or setuid. Just running "make install" will install
Crawl setgid games, do *not* do this unless you're sure you trust your
users.

If you have untrusted users, the correct way to install a multiplayer
Crawl is using a chrooted game launcher such as dgamelaunch.


To install or not to install:

If only one user on the system (you) is going to be playing Crawl, you
do not need to use "make install". A simple "make" will build Crawl in
the source directory, where you can run it as "./crawl".


Prerequisites:

GNU gcc and g++, GNU make, libncurses or libcurses. You need the
development headers for ncurses - they may not be installed by default
on some Unixes.

flex and bison are optional but highly recommended. Recent versions of
byacc are also fine (edit your makefile appropriately).

If you want to use Unicode, you need to link with a curses library that
understands Unicode characters, usually named libncursesw (the
development headers for libncursesw are usually in
/usr/include/ncursesw.) You also need to have a UTF-8 locale installed.
You can then build Crawl with support for Unicode by setting
UNICODE_GLYPHS = y in makefile.unix.

Building:

* cd to the source directory (you can safely ignore the dolinks.sh and
  domake.sh scripts).

* Edit makefile and make sure that MAKEFILE=makefile.unix is
  uncommented and all other MAKEFILE= lines are commented out.

* If you want to install Crawl for multiple users, edit makefile.unix
  and set SAVEDIR and DATADIR to appropriate directories. This is not
  necessary if only one user is going to play Crawl. Also check
  INSTALLDIR and change it if necessary.

* Edit AppHdr.h and check that SAVE_PACKAGE_CMD and LOAD_UNPACKAGE_CMD
  are set correctly for your system. If you do not want your saves
  packaged in a zip archive, it's safe to comment out SAVE_PACKAGE_CMD
  and LOAD_UNPACKAGE_CMD.

* If you don't have (or don't want to use) flex or bison, edit
  makefile.unix and set DOYACC := n. If you want to use byacc instead
  of bison, edit makefile.unix and set YACC := byacc. On some Unixes,
  you may not have flex (but have some other lex), in which case
  you'll have to set LEX := lex in makefile.unix.

* Run make to build the normal (non-wizard) Crawl. On systems such as
  Solaris, you may have to use gmake for GNU make. Make sure your make
  identifies itself as GNU Make when you do make --version.

* If you're installing Crawl for multiple users, run make install.
  Crawl will be copied into the directory specified by INSTALLDIR. The
  save and data directories will be created if necessary, and the
  level layout (.des) and help files will be copied to the data
  directory.

* If you do not want players to be able to script Crawl with Lua,
  edit makefile.unix and remove -DCLUA_BINDINGS from the CFOTHERS line.


Building on Mac OS X
--------------------

You can follow the Unix instructions to build Crawl (but note you
still need to install Xcode to get gcc and make), or alternatively you
can use Xcode.

Note that the Unix instructions will build Crawl assuming that your
terminal can display 16 colours. If you're planning to use
Terminal.app (which supports only 8 colours), you should follow the
Mac build instructions below.

* Crawl has been tested with Xcode 2.4 under OS X 10.4.7 on both PPC
  and Intel machines, but is likely to be buildable with earlier
  versions.

* Make sure Xcode is installed. Xcode should be available on the OS X
  install DVD if you haven't already installed it.

* Open the Xcode project (Crawl.xcodeproj) under the "source"
  directory.

* Hit Build in Xcode.

* The default build configuration, Release, will build a ppc/i386
  Universal binary suitable for play on all OS X 10.3.9 or newer
  systems. The other build configurations are intended for development
  and may not result in a binary that can be distributed to others.

* You can also use makefile.osx, which will run xcodebuild from the
  command line.

* If you'd like users to be able to script Crawl with Lua, you can
  edit AppHdr.h, uncomment
        // #define CLUA_BINDINGS
  and rebuild to compile with Lua support. See the section on Lua
  for more information.


Building on Windows (MinGW)
---------------------------

NOTE: You cannot build Windows binaries on Windows 9x/ME using the
MinGW makefile supplied (which needs the cmd.exe shell of the Windows
NT family). If you're on 9x/ME, you can use the Cygwin build
instructions, or build a binary on a Windows NT/2k/XP system (the
binary will run on 9x), or build a DOS binary.

* Install MinGW from http://www.mingw.org. The MinGW installer
  is best so you don't have to fiddle with individual packages (you can
  mess with the individual packages if you like to, of course). If you
  want to edit the level compiler, also get the flex and bison packages
  (available from the GnuWin32 project on Sourceforge:
  http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/).

* Make sure you have g++ and mingw32-make in your path.

* cd to the the Crawl source directory.

* Build Crawl by running
        mingw32-make MAKEFILE=makefile.mgw install

* If you have flex and bison, edit makefile.mgw and set DOYACC := y.

* When you're done, you should have crawl.exe under a "rel"
  subdirectory.


Building on Windows (cygwin)
----------------------------

* Get Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/. When installing, ensure that
  the following packages are selected: gcc, g++, make, flex, bison,
  libncurses-devel. If you'd like to build from svn, install the svn
  client. You may also want to install diff and patch if you'd like to
  apply third party patches, or create your own.

* Once Cygwin is installed, open a Cygwin bash shell (use the Start
  menu, do not double-click bash.exe in Explorer). cd to the Crawl
  source directory.

* Follow the Linux build instructions to build Crawl.


Building for DOS (djgpp)
------------------------

* Install djgpp from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/. Don't forget to
  include C++ support when the Zip picker asks for what you want. You
  may also have to download GNU make as a separate package. It's
  important to follow the install instructions carefully, because bad
  installs can produce rather confusing error messages.

* Make sure gxx and make are in your PATH.

* If you want to modify the level compiler, install the djgpp flex,
  bison and m4 packages and set DOYACC := y in makefile.dos.

* cd to the Crawl source directory.

* Build Crawl by running
        make MAKEFILE=makefile.dos

* When the build is done, crawl.exe should be in the source directory.


Building Tiles versions
-----------------------

* For Windows builds, run
        make MAKEFILE=makefile_tiles.mgw

  See the next section for step-by-step instructions.

* For Linux builds, run
        make MAKEFILE=makefile_tiles.unix

* For Mac OS X builds, run
        make MAKEFILE=makefile_tiles.unix OSX=y

* If you compiled the ASCII binary before you'll need to run make clean
  before running make.

* All platforms require the same prerequisites listed in the other
  sections above for building each of these platforms.

* All platforms additionally require the development versions of the following
  software packages installed.

    * SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php)
    * SDL_image (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/)
    * libpng (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html)
    * Freetype 2 (http://www.freetype.org/download.html)

  On Mac OS X, these are expected to be installed via fink in /sw.  On Linux,
  these can be installed via a package manager.  On Windows, they should be
  installed, compiled, and the headers and libs placed in a location that the
  compiler can find them via its default include and library paths.

* If you want both ASCII and Tiles binaries you need to compile them
  separately, rename one of them, and copy them into the same Crawl
  directory.


Building Tiles on Windows (MinGW)
---------------------------------
The following instructions were submitted by zebez.

The following assumes you have a working install of MinGW and is only tested
on 4.4.0. See "Building on Windows (MinGW)" above to find out where to get it.

You need:
* freetype-2.3.5-1-bin.zip
  (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm)

Get the Binaries zip file.
Extract it to your MinGW folder.
In your MinGW include/ folder go into "freetype2" and move "freetype" to your
MinGW include/ folder. Delete the "freetyp2" folder.

* libpng-1.2.37-bin.zip
* libpng-1.2.37-lib.zip
* zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip
  (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/)

Extract them your MinGW folder.

* SDL-devel-1.2.13-mingw32.tar.gz
  (http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php)

Extract to your MinGW folder.
If there is a folder named SDL-1.2.13 in your MinGW folder now, move all its
contents to your MinGW root folder.

* SDL_image-devel-1.2.7-VC9.zip
  (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/)

Extract to your MinGW folder.
If there is a folder named SDL_image-1.2.7 in your MinGW folder now, move all
its contents to your MinGW root folder.
Move these dll files from your MinGW lib/ folder to your MinGW bin/ folder:
libpng12-0.dll, SDL_image.dll and zlib1.dll.

Then run, from Stonesoup source folder:
    mingw32-make -f makefile_tiles.mgw install

After a while it should have compiled to source/rel/. Now to actually run it
you need to copy these dlls from MinGW bin/ to the source/rel/ folder:
freetype6.dll, SDL.dll, libpng12-0.dll, SDL_image.dll and zlib1.dll.

Depending on your compiler options you might also need libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll,
also from the MinGW bin/ folder. You can disable the latter by adding
-static-libgcc to the compiler options in the makefile.

You can suppress the compilation warnings by adding
-Wno-parentheses -Wno-array-bounds to the makefile. You'll still get some
warnings, but everything should work fine.

*****************************************************************************
Data files
----------

Crawl looks for several data files when starting up. They include:

* Special level and vault layout (dat/*.des) files.
* Core Lua code (dat/clua/*.lua).
* Descriptions for monsters and game features (dat/descript/*.txt).
* Definitions for monster dialogue and randart names (dat/database/*.txt).

All these files are in the source tree under source/dat.

Crawl will also look for documentation files when players invoke the
help system. These files are available under the docs directory.

Your built Crawl binary must be able to find these files, or it will
not start.

If Crawl is built without an explicit DATA_DIR_PATH (this is the most
common setup), it will search for its data files under the current
directory, and if it can't find them there, one level above the
current directory. In short, it uses these search paths: ., ./dat,
./docs, .., ../dat, ../docs.

If Crawl is built with an explicit DATA_DIR_PATH (for multiuser
installs on Unix), it will look for its startup files strictly under
that directory: $DIR, $DIR/dat, $DIR/docs.

As Crawl loads its startup files, it will convert them to a binary
format (so that future startups will be faster) and store these binary
files in the saves directory. These binary files (with extensions .db,
.dsc, .idx, .lk) can be safely deleted as long as there is no running
Crawl, and they will be regenerated the next time Crawl starts.

*****************************************************************************

The level compiler
------------------

Crawl uses a level compiler to read the level design (.des) files in
the source/dat directory.

If you're using one of the standard makefiles, the steps described in
this section are performed automatically:

The level compiler source is in the source/util directory (levcomp.lpp
and levcomp.ypp). The steps involved in building the level compiler
are:

* Run flex on levcomp.lpp to produce the levcomp.lex.cc lexer.
* Run bison on levcomp.ypp to produce the levcomp.tab.cc parser and
  levcomp.tab.h
* Compile the resulting C++ source files and levcomp.cc and link the
  object files into the Crawl executable.

For convenience on systems that don't have flex/bison, pre-generated
intermediate files are provided under source/prebuilt. The makefiles
provided with the Crawl source distribution will use these
pre-generated files automatically if flex/bison is not available.

*****************************************************************************
Optional Libraries (Lua and PCRE)
---------------------------------

Lua
---

Security on multiuser systems (Unix):

Enabling Lua user scripts is unsuitable for Crawl installed setuid or
setgid - we have not audited the user scripting interface for
security. If you're not planning to install Crawl setuid/setgid (not
running set[ug]id is a good idea in general), you can enable the Lua
user-script bindings safely.

As of 0.3, the Lua source is included with Crawl. The only step needed
to enable user-scripts is to uncomment CLUA_BINDINGS in AppHdr.h.


PCRE
----
As of 0.4.2, PCRE 7.7 source is included with Crawl.  It is enabled
by default.  The sources in pcre/util are identical to the 7.7 distro
except for removed cmake, doc, and testdata folders (unused by Crawl)
and a hand-rolled Makefile.

On Unixes, you're better served by the existing POSIX regular
expression support. If you want PCRE, your package management system
is again your best bet. Remember to install development headers, not
just the plain library.

Unicode (Unix only)
-------------------

Modern Unixes may support Unicode terminals (particularly xterms). If
you have a terminal that can display Unicode characters, and an
ncurses library that can handle Unicode (libncursesw, and its devel
headers), you can build Crawl to display Unicode in the map: set
UNICODE_GLYPHS = y in makefile.unix.

On Mac OS X, libncurses includes Unicode support; makefile.unix should
detect Mac OS automatically and link to libncurses when
UNICODE_GLYPHS=y.

NOTE: You may have libncursesw, but not have the header files; check
that you have the header files installed as well, or you'll get a lot
of errors. Crawl expects the ncursesw headers to be in
/usr/include/ncursesw.

After compiling Crawl with Unicode support, you still need to add the
line "char_set = unicode" in your .crawlrc to tell Crawl to use
Unicode. You may also need to set the locale in your terminal (notably
on Mac OS) if the encoding does not default to UTF-8. To check this,
run "locale charmap", which should say "UTF-8". If your encoding is
not UTF-8, you can force it to UTF-8 on most systems by doing "export
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" or the equivalent, depending on your language
locale and what shell you're using.

Crawl tries to use en_US.UTF-8 as its default Unicode locale. If you
do not have this locale installed, but do have some other UTF-8 locale,
you can tell Crawl to use your preferred UTF-8 locale by setting
UNICODE_LOCALE = ${foo}.UTF-8 in makefile.unix, where ${foo} is your
locale name.

You may not want to embed the locale in Crawl itself, but have Crawl
use the locale as set in the environment LC_* variables. In such
cases, you can use UNICODE_LOCALE = . in makefile.unix. Crawl will
then use the locale as set in your environment.

If you're playing Crawl on a remote machine, the remote Crawl should be
built with Unicode support, it needs to have a UTF-8 locale installed,
*and* your local terminal (where you're running telnet/ssh) needs to be
able to decode UTF-8.
