Linux Build Instructions

NOTE: The Linux build is still under development (see PR #140) - don't expect stability of any kind. Caveat compiler.

Dependencies (libraries must be i686/lib32):

• make
• GCC
• automake
• autoconf

Libraries:

• libunwind
• glibc
• freetype
• fontconfig
• libGL
• libX11
• openal
• libncurses
• libcurl-gnutls

Note: If you get an error in compiling due to -lcurl-gnutls being missing, you need a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 /usr/lib32/libcurl-gnutls.so

This occurs on Arch/pacman based distros as far as we know.

Note: If you get an error in compiling due to ft2build.h being missing, you need a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/ft2build.h /usr/include/

Instructions:

0. Make sure the path leading up to team-comtress-2 has no spaces in it. This will lead to errors compiling Protobuf and gperftools (needed for tcmalloc).
1. Prepare for unforeseen consequences. (Crashes during compilation are common.)
2. Run ./build.sh to compile. This can take any amount of time- 10-15 minutes is average.
3. To make sure it compiled correctly, run it again. If you see no errors, then it compiled. Success!
4. Run ./link.sh to symlink your tf2 assets into the ../game folder. You will get some 'errors' complaining about files already existing; that is normal.
5. Run in the main repo folder ./run.sh to launch the game.
