Getting started with development
Pioneer is managed using Git, and is stored here on Github. The official repository is the best one to get. To get it:
git clone git://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer.git
This will get you on the "master" branch, which is where new code is merged. This is the latest and greatest development and is quite unstable. To build a specific alpha, you need to checkout the appropriate release tag:
git checkout alpha9
An MSVC 2008 project file can be found in the win32/vc2008 folder. Open this project file and Pioneer should build just fine. All dependencies are provided so you don't need to compile any libraries.
Copy the .dll files from win32/vc2008 into the root folder (the one containing data, src, win32 directories), and you will be able to run the pioneer .exe file you just compiled.
- libtool
- sigc++-2.0
- freetype2
- GL and GLU
- GLEW
- SDL 1.2
- SDL_image_
Since pioneer is currently only available from the source repository, you also need autoconf and automake in order to generate the ./configure script (by running ./bootstrap)
You also need git to check the source code out from the repository.
sudo apt-get install libsigc++-2.0-dev libglut3-dev libglew1.5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev dh-autoreconf git libfreetype6-dev
This may work on other versions of Ubuntu, and possibly Debian or their derivatives too.
./bootstrap ./configure make ln -s ../data ./src/data
Currently Pioneer runs from where it is built, and doesn't require (or work with) '''make install'''. To run it:
./src/pioneer
For developers, gdb can be used for debugging
gdb ./src/pioneer run
Bugs, and feature requests, should be logged on the issue tracker.
