Compiling

Windows

A project file is not yet included in the source code distribution.

The client requires all files excluding linux and log viewer directories. It should be built as an application.

The server requires everything excluding the linux, gui and logviewer directories. It should be built as a console application.

The log viewer application requires the src/logviewer and src/zlib directories. It should be built as an appliction.

Remember to add the required libraries (above) to your project.

TODO: Someone make some better compiling instructions.

Linux

To build the server type 'make' in the src/server directory. To build the client type 'make' in the src/gui/linux directory.

Note the linux client currently does not build. It was last updated for version 1.13. Technically it should work once compiling again, but without Skin File support.

Design

Some information on the applications Design is available.
