Building

BUILDING REQUIREMENTS:

a C compiler that isn't crap (read: not MSVC++)
- specifically, GCC
- MinGW is a port of GCC for Windows: http://mingw.org/
- Clang works fine for FreeBSD users
- OS X users: clang is highly recommended
- if you use something else we might consider compatibility with it
- learn_more has managed to get this to build with MSVC++ so uh, that could work too.
SDL 1.2 (not 2.0) - http://libsdl.org/
- Considering adding SDL 2 support. VideoCore may be better than GMA 3150, who knows.
Lua 5.1 (not 5.2) - http://lua.org/
- May support 5.2, but will have to break bw/fw compat in order to do that.
zlib - http://zlib.net/
sackit - https://github.com/iamgreaser/sackit/
- you should copy libsackit.a and sackit.h to xlibinc.
ENet 1.3 - http://enet.bespin.org/
GNU make
- if someone has BSD make, please tell us :)

On Windows, read Makefile.mingw for some instructions. On other OSes, some files for sackit and ENet need to be in xlibinc.

OS X readme:

install Homebrew and XCode Command-Line Tools
brew install lua, enet, SDL, glew
compile sackit from git and copy .a and .so files to /usr/local/lib and sackit.h to /usr/local/include
make -f Makefile.osx-clang (recommended, Makefile.osx uses GCC)
to package into a .app, use ./package-osx.sh (brew install dylibbundler first)

MSVC readme (wip):

create a folder 'winlibs' in the iceball dir dump all dll's + lib's in this folder (opengl,lua,zlib, sdl, glew) dump all includes in submaps (glew in glew submap, and so on) /iceball/ /winlibs/ /glew/ /lua/ /SDL/ /zlib/ glew32.lib glew32.dll lua5.1.lib lua5.1.dll and so on..
right mouse on project -> properties. Working directory (without quotes): '$(SolutionDir)/../' Command Arguments (without quotes): '-c iceballga.me 20737' (connect to srv) (Note, relevant address is dead) '-s 0 pkg/base' (make local srv)
edit clsave/pub/user.json
now run it from vs.net debugger :)
