Requirements for compiling
--------------------------

- SDL 1.1.6 <http://www.libsdl.org>
- SDL-Mixer
- GL libraries and headers are required for OpenGL support.


Compiling
---------

1. Untar the abuse-x.x.tar.gz file.

     tar xzf abuse-x.x.tar.gz

   This will create an abuse-x.x directory with the source in it.

2. Run  './configure'
   This will create the Makefiles required to build Abuse.

   If you wish to specify a location for the datafiles instead of using the
   default of '/usr/local/share/games/abuse', you can do so by passing the
   following argument to the configure script:

     --datadir=<location>

   where <location> is the directory where the datafiles will be installed.

3. Run  'make'
   This will start the build.

4. Run 'make install'
   This will install Abuse.


Mac OS X
--------

A Project Builder project is included in the 'osx' directory and can be used
if desired.  Using project Builder is currently the only way to get OpenGL
support compiled in.
