- Background
- ==========
-
- ZHLT is developed on two main systems: A Dual Processor (p3-700)
- Windows 2000 machine, and a Dual Processor (p3-500) Linux machine running Debian.
- The released versions for windows are compiled with the Intel C/C++ 4.5 compiler
- and GNU make. The visual studio projects, while included, aren't used and have
- a tendency to not always have all the newborn files in a release added to their
- projects correctly :)
-
-
- ===============
- Windows Systems
- ===============
- Requirements:
- (x) Microsoft Visual C++ 6
-
- Recommended:
- (x) Intel C/C++ Compiler 4.0 or 4.5
- (x) GNU make, on Windows, Cygwin can provide a working GNU make, available
- at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
- (x) CommonC++ 1.4.2+ libraries (for compiling netvis) Available at
- http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1523
-
- The project can either be built with GNU make (including on Windows
- platforms) or directly with Microsoft Visual Studio 6 (just open zhlt.dsw)
- When using GNU make, choosing between MSVC or ICL requires editing make.ctl
- and changing the line COMPILER:=intel with COMPILER:=msvc
-
-
- ==================
- Unix/Posix Systems
- ==================
- Requirements:
- (x) g++
- (x) GNU make
- (x) pthread compatibility
-
- Recommended:
- (x) CommonC++ 1.4.2+ libraries (for compiling netvis) Available at
- http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1523
-
- ATTENTION: Currently the posix tree of CommonC++ will compile and link with ZHLT 2.5.x
- but the socket code mysteriously seems to not be working. This should be addressed in
- an upcoming point release in either ZHLT or CommonC++ when the problem is found and fixed.
-
- The unix compile relies on several things, which probably needs friendlier
- cross-platform handling. The big requirements are requiring <asm/atomic.h> and
- <pthread.h>, GNU make, and gcc.
- configure MUST be run. The 'makefile' that exists while looking innocent enough
- has a few things missing and is setup for GNU make on windows to work out of the box.
- configure has to run to populate some variables from makefile.in and generate a
- custom makefile for the machine in question.
- The only known issue with compiling Netvis & CommonC++ was that PTHREAD_HAVE_RWLOCK
- was defined through CommonC++'s and in their config.h and my Linux/Debian system did not like
- that define enabled, so I had to edit config.h and remove the #define PTHREAD_HAVE_RWLOCK before
- building CommonC++ and installing it.

- ******************************
- *** Linux: Debian & Redhat ***
- ******************************
- Should work with no changes. Don't know about the other flavors.
-
- ***************
- *** FreeBSD ***
- ***************
- I dont have a FreeBSD system so this information comes 2nd hand from a user:
- Linux emulation needed (linux_base_6.1.tar.gz or newer?)
- Requires fbsd4.1 stable to work
- Had to edit make.os and replace -lpthread with -pthread

- Misc Info
- =========
- ****************
- *** make.ctl ***
- ****************
- The file make.ctl controls options in the make process
- MODE : sets the default mode of compilation. valid choices are
- release, debug, super_debug (runtime heap checking), and
- release_w_symbols (meaningless on unix)
- MAPS : On Win32 systems, controls whether or not .map files are
- generated on link.

- *************************
- *** WAD files on unix ***
- *************************
- Create a mirror of your Half-life directory somewhere, but only
- include .wad files. Make sure the filenames match up as it will become
- case sensitive. Next, create an environment variable called WADROOT and
- set it to this directory (with no trailing slash).
-
- Example:
- WADROOT=/home/mcp/wads
-
- mcp@oven:~$ ls -alR wads
