1. Requirements
===============

Hardware requirements 
---------------------

  o Athlon 1 GHz (or equivalent Pentium)
  o graphics card with 3D support (OpenGL)
  o 512 MB RAM

Software requirements
---------------------

  UNIX like OS (tested on FreeBSD and Linux).

  Note: Dark Oberon works also under Windows 95+, but README is only for UNIX
  like OSes.

  Additional libraries requiered:

    o GLFW 2.5 (http://glfw.sourceforge.net/)
    o FMOD (http://fmod.org/)

  Note: FMOD is needed only if you want to compile in sound/music support.
  Version 1.0.1 does not contain any sounds, only music. Sounds will be
  included in next version which is planed for 2005-07-10.

2. How to compile
=================

   1. Download installation package dark-oberon-1.0.1.tgz

   2. Extract it with command:

       tar xzf dark-oberon-1.0.1.tgz

   3. Change into created directory:

       cd dark-oberon-1.0.1

   4. Compile it with make:

       make

   If you want to compile sound support in, specify a -DSOUND=1 option to make
   in step 4. The full command will be:
   
       make -DSOUND=1

   If the compilation ends with "ld: cannot find -lglfw", you don't have GLFW
   installed in you system or it was not found. If GLFW is not in your system
   and there is no installation package, compile it yourself and put libglfw.a
   into libs/ subdirectory. If it was not found, specify path to libglfw.a in
   src/Makefile (variable LIBPATH) or copy it into libs/ subdirectory.

   On some systems the compilation ends with "ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm". If
   this happens, remove -lXxf86vm from src/Makefile. So change the line:

     LIBRARIES = -pthread -lglfw -lGL -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lGLU -lXext

   to

     LIBRARIES = -pthread -lglfw -lGL -lX11 -lGLU -lXext 

   If you had any troubles with compiling, tell us on our Help forum. The link
   for the forum can be found at our homepage.

3. How to run
=============

  You can run Dark Oberon with command:

    ./doberon
