Compiling Purple Martians

Windows XP

---

Installed DevCpp 4.980
ran alleg4DC.exe and extracted to c:\Dev-Cpp

extract dumb-0.9.2
from the command line:
cd to the top directory (the one that contains the src directory) type:
SET PATH=C:\Dev-Cpp\bin
SET MINGDIR=C:\Dev-Cpp
make
make install

Linux (Mandrake 8.2)

---

Get allegro-4.0.2.tar.gz and extract
./configure
make
make install
added /usr/local/lib to /ect/ld.so.conf ran make install again

extract dumb-0.9.1
cd to top directory
type './fix.sh unix'
./makeall.sh
su -c ./makeall.sh

added: "-laldmb -ldumb" to compile line before allegro library linker

Extract pm_XXXXXX.tar.gz and cd to the directory with the source files Use the script compile_linux to compile the game and lce to compile the editor as follows:

bash ./compile_linux

contents of lc:
gcc yfilecom.cpp zcontrol.cpp zemove.cpp zfile.cpp zfnx.cpp zitem.cpp zlifts.cpp zloop.cpp zmain.cpp zmenu.cpp zscrn.cpp zsound.cpp -o pmlin `allegro-config --libs`

contents of lce:
gcc yfilecom.cpp e_bitmap.cpp e_bled.cpp e_editor.cpp e_file.cpp e_fnx.cpp e_glt.cpp e_guifnx.cpp e_item.cpp e_main.cpp e_menu.cpp e_nev.cpp e_nlv.cpp e_pde.cpp e_sel.cpp e_sliders.cpp e_special.cpp -o pmfle.exe `allegro-config --libs`

Windows 98 First Edition

DirectX 8.1 installed (from file DX81end.exe) Dev-C++ 4 Installed with typical settings (from devcpp4.zip) Allegro from superdave (alleg4.zip) unzipped in devc directory (C:\DEV-C++) Dev-C run once to associate files
Found alleg40.dll on the net and copied to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM There are two project:
The game (pmwin.dev)
The editor (pm_editor.dev)

extract dumb-0.9.2
cd to the top directory (the one that contains the src directory) type 'fix mingw'

add C:\Dev-C++\bin to PATH (for make)
SET MINGDIR to C:\Dev-Cpp

'makeall' does not seem to work
so I use 'make' and make 'DEBUGMODE=1'

'make install' does not seem to work even after: SET MINGDIR to C:\Dev-C++

so I manually copy files like this:
copy *.a from \lib\mingw to C:\Dev-Cpp\lib copy *.h from \include to C:\Dev-Cpp\include

You should now be able to compile and execute from the Dev-C IDE The game executable is pmwin.exe
The level editor executable is pmfle.exe

Using DUMB

use: #include <aldumb.h> in the source

DEBUGGING
and link with -laldmd -ldumbd

REAL
and link with -laldmb -ldumb

BEFORE the allegro library linker
