Overview:
The ODAMEX Source package comes with a variety of project and workspace files.
This tutorial will show you how to build ODAMEX using the Code::Blocks IDE.
Contents
Step 1: Getting Code::Blocks
You can download Code::Blocks from its website here: Code::Blocks. Be sure to get the 'latest nightly build, and not Release Canadate 2 as this is the one that works with the current project files.
Step 2: Getting MinGW
This step is only required if you are using the Code::Blocks nightly builds. Once an official Code::Blocks package is released (rc3 or 1.0), MinGW will be included with Code::Blocks and you can skip this step.
You need the latest version of MinGW from this website. The package you're looking for, as of this writing is MinGW-5.0.3.exe, but please check to see if a newer verison is avalable. When installing, you might as well install it all, it's not that big.
Step 3: Required Libraries
For ODAMEX to successfully compile, you must obtain some libraries for it, which are:
- SDL development libraries
- SDL_mixer development libraries
And unzip these libraries into your MinGW directory
Step 4: Getting the source code for ODAMEX
This can be obtained through the website or from the SVN repository using tortoisesvn.
Step 5: Compiling the ODAMEX source code
After you've extracted the source code to a directory, open the workspace file (currently named odamex.workspace) and go to the Build menu and click Rebuild workspace
Conclusion
Once its all built (and no errors have occurred), you should find some binary files located in the bin directory and these are ready to use.
