DOWNLOAD ======== You will need the following packages for squaroid to run: squaroid-x.xx.x..tar.gz source package [required] squaroid-gfx-x.x.tar.gz graphics package [required] squaroid-sfx-x.x.tar.gz sound package [optional] Download these from http://www.squaroid.de/download/ INSTALLING SQUAROID =================== The Default prefix is /usr/local. Therefore the binary is installed into $(prefix)/bin and the graphics are installed below $(datadir)/share/squaroid By default $datadir is equal to prefix. PLUGINS ======= The Plugins are not installed anywhere, you have to copy them by hand to where you want it. To Load plugins specify -P <pathto/plugin.so> on the squaroid command line when starting... You can also statically link the modules into the main Squaroid Binary, by passing --enable-plugin="<pluginlist>" to the configure script. The list is a space separated list of plugin names, as you find them below the ./plugins/ directory. For Instance (this is also the default setting): ./configure --enable-plugin="lowball xhigh" COMPILE & INSTALL ================= To install squaroid in it's default locations: ./configure && make && make install [ you might need to be root for "make install" ] An example to change the target location to the home dir of the user you are currently logged in as, do this: ./configure --prefix=/home/`whoami` && make && make install If you want the binary to be in it's default location, but the graphics somewhere else, do it like: ./configure --datadir=/usr/games && make && make install
