Needed:
- SDL 2.x or SDL 1.2.x (deprecated) library (https://libsdl.org/)
Optional:
- SDL_net library (https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/)
- CMake (https://cmake.org/)
OpenJazz ships a basic Makefile that may be used and adapted to the specific
needs of the user or platform where it shall run. It is usually enough to simply
run make on UNIX-like platforms.
For more sophisticated building, a CMake script is also provided:
cmake -B OJ -S .
cmake --build OJ
The optional installation step (cmake --install OJ) is not needed for all
platforms, but usually for UNIX-like. For Homebrew targets a packaging step is
also provided (cmake --build OJ --target package), which automatically creates
ZIP archives.
For network play, you need a platform which natively provides sockets or use
SDL_net, this is detected by CMake. You can always use -DNETWORK=OFF to
disable it.
On the Windows platform, the socket library (-lws2_32) is needed for linking
the executable, others might need also additional libraries.
Further, currently outdated instructions are available at: http://www.alister.eu/jazz/oj/build.php
DATAPATH- add a fixed path for game data filesSCALE- enable scaling of the video output (i.e. Scale2X...)PORTABLE- Do not use external directories for configuration saving, etc. (This only affects Unix platforms, Windows version is always portable)
Some ports have their own options, see (Platforms)[PLATFORMS.md] for details.
FULLSCREEN_ONLY- disable window mode, useful for console ports
