  1. I. Getting the sources
    2. 

  2. VCMI is still in development. You can get the sources with subversion:
    3. 

  3.   svn co https://vcmi.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vcmi/trunk vcmi
    4. 

  4. 

  5. II. Compiling
    6. 

  6. 

  7. Optionaly, if you want to regenerate the build system, you will need the following tools:
    8. 

  8.  * libtool
    9. 

  9.  * automake
    10. 

  10.  * autoconf
    11. 

  11. And then regenerate the build system with
    12. 

  12.   autoreconf -i
    13. 

  13. 

  14. To compile, at least the following packages (and their development counterparts) are needed to build:
    15. 

  15.     * libstdc++ devel
    16. 

  16. 	* boost c++ libraries v1.36+ (1.35 will not work) (www.boost.org)
    17. 

  17. 	* sdl,
    18. 

  18. 	* sdl mixer
    19. 

  19. 	* sdl image
    20. 

  20. 	* sdl ttf
    21. 

  21. 	* zlib
    22. 

  22. 

  23. Then do the usual 
    24. 

  24.   ./configure
    25. 

  25. 

  26. Note that on 64 bits linux, if the boost libraries are installed in /usr/lib64, configure will not find them and will fail. Until this is fixed, use:
    27. 

  27.   ./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64
    28. 

  28. 

  29. Then build vcmi:
    30. 

  30.   make
    31. 

  31. 

  32. That will generate vcmiclient, vcmiserver as well as 3 .so libraries.
    33. 

  33. 

  34. 

  35. II. Installing Heroes of Might and Magic 3
    36. 

  36. 

  37. VCMI needs an installed version of Heroes III as well as WoG on top of it.
    38. 

  38. The version of Heroes needed is (I think!) Shadow of Death or Complete.
    39. 

  39.  
    40. 

  40. Wog can be downloaded from: http://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes3/files/allinone_358f.zip
    41. 

  41. 

  42. Wine can be used to install both.
    43. 

  43. 

  44. Once both programs are installed, you can install VCMI.
    45. 

  45. 

  46. Download the windows VCMI release (at time of writing: http://vcmi.antypika.aplus.pl/forum/dload.php?action=download&id=11) and extract it in a private directory. Then move some files to your Heroes3 directory:
    47. 

  47.   mv sprites /PATH_TO_H3_DIR/Sprites
    48. 

  48.   mv Data/* /PATH_TO_H3_DIR/Data
    49. 

  49.   mv Fonts Games /PATH_TO_H3_DIR/
    50. 

  50. 

  51. 

  52. III. Installing VCMI
    53. 

  53. 

  54. Since VCMI is still in development, there's no install procedure, although something like 
    55. 

  55.   DESTDIR=/path/to/heroes3 make install
    56. 

  56. might work.
    57. 

  57. 

  58. For development puposes, it's better to use links. Go to your new Heroes3 directory, and type:
    59. 

  59.   ln -s /PATH_TO_VCMI/client/vcmiclient
    60. 

  60.   ln -s /PATH_TO_VCMI/server/vcmiserver
    61. 

  61.   ln -s /PATH_TO_VCMI/config
    62. 

  62.   ln -s /PATH_TO_VCMI/AI/GeniusAI/.libs AI
    63. 

  63. 

  64. And start ./vcmiclient
    65. 

  65.   
    66. 

  66.
