Installation Guide

To build this game, you need to install the following packages first:

  • FreeGLUT It's necessary because all my code relies on it. Make sure the option FREEGLUT_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is set to ON. To install it on Debian Linux, you may use the following command.
# apt-get update
# apt-get install freeglut3-dev
  • CMake The building system I use because it supports building on different platforms.

Windows with MinGW

If you are using MinGW, you need to have mingw32-make installed. So type the following to build:

cmake . -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%PREFIX%
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

Linux
