How To Build

Requirements

• make
• CMake 3.2 or later
• C++ compiler which supports C++17
• Boost 1.69
• Lua 5.3
• SDL2, SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf and SDL2_mixer
• OpenSSL 1.1.x
• clang-format, find and xargs (Optional)

Additional requirements for Windows

• Visual Studio 2017 x64

Additional requirements for Linux

• SMPEG
• Timidity++

Steps

1. Extract elona122.zip (from here) to the deps directory, so deps\elona exists. This will allow for automatically copying the required assets.
2. Follow the platform-specific instructions below.

macOS

1. Install the required dependencies.

brew install cmake boost sdl2 sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer sdl2_image lua

2. cd path/to/Elona_foobar; make build

Linux

1. Install the required dependencies. For Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S cmake sdl2 sdl2_ttf sdl2_image sdl2_mixer gtk3 smpeg lua boost timidity++

For systems with apt:

sudo apt-get install cmake liblua5.3-dev libboost-all-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev gtk+-3.0 smpeg timidity

2. cd path/to/Elona_foobar; make build

Windows

1. Download and install the binaries for Boost 1.69 from here.
2. Edit Makefile.win to point to your Boost install directory.
3. Run install.bat inside the deps folder to move the other dependencies to deps\include and deps\lib.
4. Open the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017.
5. cd path/to/Elona_foobar & nmake build -f Makefile.win

To debug with Visual Studio, open bin\Elona_foobar.sln.

Note for parallel build

There are mainly 2 ways to build Elona foobar in parallel.

• Ninja-build supports parallel build by default. CMake can generate build rule for ninja like this: make CMAKE_ARGS="-GNinja" <BUILD TARGET>
• CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL also works like this: CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL=8 make <BUILD TARGET>

How To Play

1. Copy the graphic and sound folders from vanilla v1.22 to the directory containing the executable. Make sure not to overwrite any files that already exist, as they have been updated in this version.
2. Execute bin/Elona_foobar, bin/Elona_foobar.app or bin/Debug/Elona_foobar.exe.
