Fish Fillets - Next Generation http://fillets.sf.net

Compile requirements

** WARNING ** This source has been modified from the original in order to port to SDL2 and fix things up for running on a Mac. While the souce should still compile in general for other platforms, the automake stuff here will have to be modified to search for the SDL2 libraries, etc.

The requirements below are now out of date - the equiavalent SDL 2 libraries should be used instead.

** END WARNING **

Library SDL = Simple DirectMedia Layer (video, input, sound)

• libSDL >= 1.2, www.libsdl.org

Library SDL_mixer (multiple sounds)

• libSDL_mixer >= 1.2.5, http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

Library SDL_image (PNG support)

• libSDL_image, http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/

Library SDL_ttf (TrueType UTF-8 fonts)

• libSDL_ttf, http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/

Library LUA (script language, used for debug console, configuration, levels,...)

• liblua50, www.lua.org
• liblualib50

Mac Details

This is intended to build on a mac, and has some scripts to help make everything. Get the original Fillets-NG distribution from http://fillets.sf.net

Run:

bash$ make -f ./macfiles/makefile bash$ ./macfiles/make-bundle /path/to/fillets-ng-data

You should end up with a Fillets.app in the top level directory. You may have to modify some paths in the macfiles/makefile to correspond with where your copies of the SDL2 frameworks are.
