| | 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 | }}} |
