S E A R C H A N D R E S C U E I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S ------------------------ STEP 1: Configure Source ------------------------ Configure the source for your system, type: # ./configure --listall This will run the compiler test and print all available platforms. Choose the most appropriate platform and add any additional arguments as needed (see ./configure --help for more information on enabling/disabling and overriding source configuration values). To select your platform simply type the platform name and any additional arguments to the ./configure line, example: # ./configure Linux --prefix=/usr -v --enable="arch-i586" ------------------------ STEP 2: Building Program ------------------------ If there were no problems configuring the source for your system, then just type: # make all This will start the compiling process. If you encountered errors, then you should report them to the authors. Read the AUTHORS file for a list of addresses. -------------------- STEP 3: INSTALLATION -------------------- To install, su to root as needed and type: # make install Note: If you specified an alternate prefix in the ./configure line then the installation location may be different than shown below. Data files are installed in: /usr/share/games/SearchAndRescue/ /usr/share/icons/SearchAndRescue.xpm /usr/man/man6/SearchAndRescue.6 $HOME/.SearchAndRescue/ Note: You must run the program atleast once to allow it to create the data files that go in $HOME/.SearchAndRescue/. Program is installed in: /usr/games/SearchAndRescue --------------- STEP 4: RUNNING --------------- To run this program type: # SearchAndRescue & For additional command line options, type: # SearchAndRescue --help Or for more detailed help, read the manual page: # man SearchAndRescue (Linux only) If you want joystick support then make sure that you have compiled joystick support and that your joystick driver modules are loaded, to find out type: # lsmod | grep joy To load modules type `modprobe <driver>', example: # modprobe joy-analog Many joysticks have more axises and buttons than what the joystick driver detects on default. Read the documentation that came with the joystick driver (usually from the Linux kernel source /usr/src/linux/Documentation/joystick.txt). Example if you have Saitek Cyborg 3D joystick: # modprobe joy-analog js_an=0x201,1023,0 (Linux only) if you want sound support then make sure that your Y server is configured and running. To check if your Y server is running type: # yrecinfo If you see "Cannot connect to Y server" then that means the Y server is not running or not listening to the default port. You can double check by typing: # ps aux|grep yiff To see if the server is actually running. To start the Y server, type: # starty Or calling the server directly without the script: # /usr/sbin/yiff /usr/etc/yiffrc If you need additional help, don't hesitate to ask. You can contact the authors via e-mail, please read the file AUTHORS for a list of addresses. ----------------- SEARCH AND RESCUE
