Required Libraries

You will need to download and install these libraries. Beside the library names are the file names of the libraries that the developers used. You can not install SDL_mixer with an rpm, src.rpm, or deb file. It must be recompiled because by default those those package formats the ogg music format is not included. Instructions for each file is below. All SDL and smpeg libaries can be linked to or found at www.libsdl.org. The ogg files are found at www.oggvorbis.org

Here are the steps we (the developers) did to install these libraries. The i686 was the architecture of J.R.'s machine, and may vary for your box. On the ogg library install, on our Mandrake 8.0 system, there was a file conflict, so we simply added a --nodeps flag and it forced it in. Use at your own caution.

Installing: General

Linux:

A Linux executable named "wod" is located in the bin directory of WOD

TODO: Have a configure script for Makefiles
TODO: Have staticly linked executables so no compiling is neccesesary

Windows:

A Windows executable named "wod.exe" is located in the bin directory of WOD along with SDL.dll for running it

TODO: Have install program take care of our non-computer oriented Window's users :)
