glH - current version 0.4 (2005-06-02)

Description:

glH is an entirely free first-person shoot that takes some ideas from RPG games.

glH is known to work under GNU/Linux, *BSD, Darwin, Windows(w32). It's tested under x86 and ppc.

The current state of glh is just "navegable", the network engine would work fine, but needs some rewrite for the graphic engine. This is the latest "ugly" release. >0.5 will be more fine-grained releases fixing the bugs found at current release. mainh and glhi must be rewritten using gtk2.

About hardware requeriments...a 3D graphics card and at least 128MB of RAM. nvidia is known to work better on GNU/Linux. About cpu...well i'm coding on a p4m1.7 and works fine. But not tested on worst machines.

Tracking CVS:

To track -current version of glH you'll need to fetch't from the CVS repository. To do this just type this: 
$ export CVSROOT=anoncvs@cvs.nopcode.org:/nop
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs co glh
password: AnonCvs
The above commands are only required in the first fetch, the next times just chdir to glh/ and type: 
$ cvs -q up -dP
Building:

The 0.4 version and next ones is ported to ACR. This means that the build is like all GNU software: 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ make install
An interesting feature of ACR is the --report flag that shows a little report of the package: 
$ ./configure --report
PKGNAME:   glh
VERSION:   0.4
LANGS:     c c++
REQUIRED:  libSDL libSDL_image
OPTIONAL:  libSDL_mixer
FLAGS:     --without-sound --enable-debug
It's easy to understand...you need libSDL and libSDL_image, if you want sound support also install libSDL_mixer. Note that if you use debian you'll need to install the -dev packages.
