INSTALLATION:
--------- NOTE:
If you have a version less than 0.95 installed on your system, you MUST
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^
remove the following symlinks with:
rm /usr/local/bin/lin-city
rm /usr/local/bin/xlin-city
You should also get rid of the old source tree (although this isn't strictly
necessary), with
rm -r /usr/local/games/lin-city
---------
To install LinCity, (as root) untar the file lincity098-src.tgz (or
lincity098-elfbin.tgz)
tar -xzvf lincity098-src.tgz (or lincity098-elfbin.tgz)
This will unpack the game into the directory ./lincity098
If you want to install the binaries and library/data files (...elfbin only)
go into the directory ./lincity098 and type
make install This will install the Linux SVGA and X elf binaries
if you got the elfbin version. If you got the source
only version, (or you are non-elf or non-Linux)
you will have to compile the program.
This will install the binaries in /usr/local/bin/ and the library/data files
in /usr/local/lib/lincity/ . If you want to install the -libraries- to a
different place, you will have to edit the Makefile and recompile. (The
binaries can go anywhere on your path.)
Installing to a different directory
===================================
Binaries:
Edit the Makefile and change LC_BINDIR the where you want the
binaries installed. Then simply make install.
Library/data files:
Edit the Makefile, changing LC_LIBDIR
Then compile the source (eg make lincity) and make install.
If you want to compile the source
=================================
make clean
make lincity (or, make [ xlincity | hpux | solaris ])
_then_ make install
[ you can type 'make' on its own to see what options you have and
where the files will be installed. ]
NOTE: If you don't run an ELF system, you will have to compile the source.
Running LinCity.
===============
As a user, run the game with the command
lincity (or, xlincity)
Press space to get past the opening screen, then select an option from the
large window.
If you need to claw back some HD space, you can delete the source tree after
you have installed.
NOTES FOR X VERSION
===================
When playing in 256 colour (8bbp) display modes, when you go over the edge
of your window, the window manager changes the colour palette back to the
'normal' one, then back to the game's one when the mouse reenters the
window. This is what is supposed to happen, but can be a bit annoying when
trying to click on areas close to the edge and overshooting. For this
reason, I have added an extra border around the game to give players a bit
of 'breathing space'.
You can disable this feature by starting the game with a '-b' switch. ie.
xlincity -b
Istalling picedit
=================
picedit is a simple drawing program that was used to draw all the icons
found within the game. You are free to play with this, and even send me
new icons that you have designed - although I cannot guarantee that any
icons sent to me will be included in later versions. If you intend to design
some that you feel should be included, please e-mail me first, this may save
a lot of wasted effort.
make picedit (or make xpicedit)
will compile *and install* picedit to /usr/local/bin, and its data files
to /usr/local/lib/lincity. If you want these installed somewhere else
edit the Makefile as for lincity.
