How to get the source code

The source code is hosted in Git and can be checked out the following way:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/captainsengine/git captainsengine
Do not use the Subversion repository. It is now deprecated.

How to build

What you need

• CMake
• Java runtime
• C++ compiler suitable for your target (Visual Studio, g++, qcc)
• OpenAL SDK
• OpenGL headers and libs
  For Linux builds
• X11 XFree86 Video mode extension development files
• libavcodec dev
• libavformat dev
• libswscale dev

Configuring the build

Make a directory where you intend to have your build results, e.g. build_engine parallel to the checked out source code. Go into that directory.

Building for Linux on Linux:
You can simply use the default options, so
cmake ../captainsengine
configures your build with the most common options

Compiling

Linux:
make Adventure builds the Adventure executable

Run test adventure

Linux:
Copy ../captainsengine/Adventure/AppBuilder/AppBuilder/ffmpeg/bin/engine.ini to your build directory
Execute Adventure/AppBuilder/Appbuilder/Adventure ../captainsengine/Adventure/AppBuilder/test/data/game.dat
