| 2 | == Summary and goals == |
| 3 | In this tutorial, you will |
| 4 | * Download the source code and setup a programming environment on your tardis box |
| 5 | * Compile the code into a working version of the game |
| 6 | * Add an in-game object to the game and configure it |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Since Orxonox is quite a large project, several steps are required to achieve the above. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | == Preparations == |
| 11 | '''We check out the source and data repository and build for the first time''' |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The ISG created a special directory for you to store Orxonox in. It is in your home directory and is called |
| 14 | {{{ |
| 15 | <your-username>-extra-0 |
| 16 | }}} |
| 17 | Put all your orxonox-related files there. This tutorial will do so as well. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 0. Open a Terminal. |
| 20 | {{{ |
| 21 | Applications > Accessories > Terminal |
| 22 | }}} |
| 23 | 0. Go to your extra-home folder: |
| 24 | {{{ |
| 25 | cd ~/<your-username>-extra-0 |
| 26 | }}} |
| 27 | (or create a folder for yourself on the local harddrive if the extra-home folder does not yet exist) |
| 28 | {{{ |
| 29 | mkdir /scratch/<your-username> && cd /scratch/<your-username> |
| 30 | }}} |
| 31 | 1. Create your orxonox directory (if not already existing): |
| 32 | {{{ |
| 33 | mkdir orxonox && cd orxonox |
| 34 | }}} |
| 35 | 2. Now check out the latest revision of the data repository (you will probably be asked for a username and password once): |
| 36 | {{{ |
| 37 | svn co http://svn.orxonox.net/game/data/trunk data_extern |
| 38 | }}} |
| 39 | 4.1 Open a new terminal tab, to work in parallel. |
| 40 | {{{ |
| 41 | Press Control + Shift + T. |
| 42 | }}} |
| 43 | 4.2 Now get the latest revision of the tutorial: |
| 44 | {{{ |
| 45 | svn co http://svn.orxonox.net/game/code/branches/tutorial6 tutorial |
| 46 | }}} |
| 47 | 4.3 Wait for both branches to check out completely. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | 4.4 While you wait, download and unzip additional dependencies: |
| 50 | {{{ |
| 51 | wget http://svn.orxonox.net/downloads/tardisDependencies.zip |
| 52 | unzip tardisDependencies.zip |
| 53 | rm tardisDependencies.zip |
| 54 | }}} |
| 55 | |
| 56 | 4. Prepare to build: |
| 57 | {{{ |
| 58 | mkdir build && cd build |
| 59 | cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE ../tutorial |
| 60 | }}} |
| 61 | 5. Now build for the first time (may take some time, further builds will be faster): |
| 62 | {{{ |
| 63 | make -j4 |
| 64 | }}} |
| 65 | The ''-j4'' means to create 4 parallel compile processes. |
| 66 | 6. Additionally you can use [wiki:EclipseIDE Eclipse] as IDE to develop (if you don't want to use the console ;)). You can |
| 67 | also use [wiki:KDevelop3] as IDE, though the assistants can help you more with Eclipse. |
| 68 | '''Start the game for the first time''' |
| 69 | 7. Enter to the appropriate folder and start the game. You will see a menu popping up, just press the ''Quickstart'' button. |
| 70 | {{{ |
| 71 | cd ~/<your-username>-extra-0/orxonox/build |
| 72 | ./run |
| 73 | }}} |
