UsingAutotools

From Wesnoth

Note: In the development branch, the autotools build is now deprecated and unsupported. See CompilingWesnoth for details on the new build system.

Contents

Users

For SVN version run 

./autogen.sh

For both SVN and releases run 

./configure

Editor, server and translation tools are neither compiled nor installed by default. If you want them, just provide the right options to configure: 

./configure --enable-server
./configure --enable-editor
./configure --enable-tools

or, to compile everything, 

./configure --enable-server --enable-editor --enable-tools

Then run 

make

and as root, 

make install


Static Binary

To build a static binary do the following: 

./configure --enable-static
make


Developers

When adding a new source file, Add it to corresponding Makefile.am:

  • For wesnoth: src/Makefile.am
  • For wesnoth server: src/server/Makefile.am
  • For wesnoth editor: src/Makefile.am
  • For translation tools: src/tools/Makefile.am

Then run automake 1.9 in topdir, wesnoth/, and commit both changed Makefile.am and corresponding Makefile.in

Testing

Autotools have been tested and run correctly in (please add your platform if you test it):

  • Gentoo GNU/Linux
  • FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2.1
  • Debian GNU/Linux (Sid) [need to install automake 1.9 or newer. (1.9 tested and working)]
