The Odamex client and launcher require extra libraries which are not usually included with your operating system.
SDL
SDL is a crossplatform library used to display graphics. It is required in order to compile the Odamex client.
Windows
SDL comes with no installer on Windows, you simply extract the zip into a random directory and reference it. Pointing your compiler at SDL is discussed in the compiler-specific pages.
You want to grab the Development Library on this page that compliments your compiler.
- If you are using Visual Studio, get the one labeled "VC8". This goes for any version of Visual Studio from 2005 SP1 all the way to 2010.
- If you are using MinGW, get the one labeled "Mingw32". If you don't have anything to extract a tar.gz file with, install 7-zip. You will also need to download the library itself, as the MinGW package does not come with the .dll file.
Linux
There is usually a copy of SDL and SDL_mixer included in the repositories of your distribution of choice:
- CentOS (requires EPEL for SDL_mixer): yum install SDL-devel
- Debian: apt-get install libsdl-dev
- Fedora: yum install SDL-devel
- openSUSE: zypper in SDL-devel
- Ubuntu: aptitude install libsdl-dev
Otherwise, you can grab the latest source distribution of SDL from here.
SDL_mixer
SDL_mixer is a compliment to SDL, and handles both sound and music. It is required in order to compile the Odamex client.
Windows
SDL_mixer comes with no installer on Windows, you simply extract the zip into a random directory and reference it. Pointing your compiler at SDL_mixer is discussed in the compiler-specific pages.
You want to grab the Development Library on this page. It is labeled SDL_mixer-devel and works with both Visual Studio and MinGW.
Linux
There is usually a copy of SDL and SDL_mixer included in the repositories of your distribution of choice:
- CentOS (requires EPEL for SDL_mixer): yum install SDL_mixer-devel
- Debian: apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
- Fedora: yum install SDL_mixer-devel
- openSUSE: zypper in SDL_mixer-devel
- Ubuntu: aptitude install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
Otherwise, you can grab the latest source distribution of SDL_mixer from here.
wxWidgets
wxWidgets is a library used to display graphical user interfaces. It is required in order to compile the Odamex launcher. The latest version of wxWidgets is 2.8.10
