Compiling in Windows + +h2. Prerequisites + +h3. MinGW / MSYS + +You first need to install a compiler and a shell environment to run the build scripts. On windows, we use MinGW and MSYS. Those two work together, so you have to install MinGW first. +It can be found "here":http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ . Run the automated installer, and do not check any of the optional components, all you need from MinGW is its C compiler, which is always installed. +*Important*: install MinGW in a path containing no spaces. The default path is good: c:\mingw + +Next, you need to install MSYS. The recent versions don't have an installer, so it is easier to install "version 1.0.11":http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11.exe . +*Important*: again, the installation path should contain no spaces. The default is c:\msys +After it is done installing, a terminal will pop up, asking you to run the post-install script. Answer yes, and when it asks for the MinGW install path, input it as c:/mingw . + +h3. msysGit + +You will need msysGit to download the Xonotic source files from the repositories and keep them up to date. You can get msysGit "here":http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ . Download the "Full installer for official Git" file. +The default install options should be good. + + +h2. Downloading the Xonotic sources + +Open git bash, and type those two commands: +
+cd /c/msys/1.0
+git clone git://git.xonotic.org/xonotic/xonotic.git
+
+ +(Tip: you can paste text in the console with the Shift-Insert keyboard shortcut) + +This will install the Xonotic root repository in c:\msys\1.0\xonotic + +When the download is done, type +
+cd xonotic
+./all update
+
+ +This will download approximately 2 gigabytes of data, and use 4 gigabytes in disk space. +This will take a while, but you can already get started on the next step. + + +h2. Setting up the environment + +To run the "all" script and compile Xonotic, you need to set up MSYS to be able to use msysGit from it. +The /etc/profile file in the msys directory has to be modified to include msysGit in its search path. To do this, use a text editor that supports Unix line endings (LF), for example "Notepad++":http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ . +If your text editor shows a two-line file, it probably does not support Unix line endings. + +Look for those lines (lines 19 to 20 in MSYS 1.0.11) +
+if [ $MSYSTEM == MINGW32 ]; then
+  export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:$PATH"
+
+ +And change them to: +
+PATH="/c/Program Files/Git/bin:$PATH"
+if [ $MSYSTEM == MINGW32 ]; then
+  export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:$PATH"
+
+ +Alternatively, you can get the modified profile file in the attachments of this page. + +h2. Compiling and running the game + +When the cloning of all the repositories is done, open MSYS and type: +
+cd /xonotic
+./all compile
+
+ +This will compile the engine, QC compiler, and game progs. When this is done, you can then run the game with: +
+./all run
+
+ +h2. Updating + +To update, all you need to do is open MSYS and: +
+cd /xonotic
+./all update
+./all compile
+
+ +The most recent Xonotic development version is then ready to run. -- 2.39.2
