here
Hardware Requirements
- Memory: 64 MB of RAM.
- Video Card: Any graphics card that can handle 16 bpp
and 640x480 is supported. (Use of OpenGL requires a 32MB Card)
- Sound Card: Optional.
- Processor: A 300 MHz CPU (faster recommended).
NOTE: Stratagus is believed to be endian and word size safe, so other
architectures like (big endian) PPC or (64bit) Alpha should also
work at least with Linux.
Installation from sources
- Step 1, Download and Extract:
- Download the source code.
- Extract the source stratagus-VERSION.tar.gz with 'tar -zxvf stratagus-VERSION.tar.gz'
- Step 2, Compile:
- Create 'build' directory in toplevel stratagus tree and here run:
'cmake .. && make'
- For MSVC users :
cmake.exe -DENABLE_STATIC=ON -G"Visual Studio 10"
the CMake option -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:/path/to/3rd/
enable CMake to find - executables in : c:/path/to/3rd/bin/
- headers in c:/path/to/3rd/include/
- libraries in c:/path/to/3rd/lib/
You can now use the generated solution.
- Step 3: Build packages
This step is optional.
You can build debian packages by using 'debuild' directly.
- Step 4, Run:
You may now go into the toplevel stratagus directory and run the binary.
Remember, you have to obtain the
game data
to start the engine. By default, stratagus looks in './data',
if your data is in a different location you
will need to run stratagus with '-d /path_to_data'.
