<h1>Installation instructions for Stratagus 2.1</h1><p>
<hr>
<h2>Software Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>A supported operating system:</b> Win32, Linux, Mac OS X, BSD,
Possibly any other Unix/POSIX OS.<br>
<font color=red>NOTE: some features of Winsock2 (WS2_32.DLL) are used. So even
if you plan to play single player only,
WinNT4.0 users will need Service Pack 3 or higher and Windows 95 users
will need the winsock 2
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp">update</a>.</font><p>
<li><a href="http://www.libsdl.org/index.php">SDL</a> (required).<p>
<li><a href="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/">libpng</a> (required).<p>
<li><a href="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/">zlib</a> (required).<p>
<li><a href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/">libogg/libvorbis</a> (recommended).<p>
<li><a href="http://mikmod.raphnet.net/">libmikmod</a> (recommended).<p>

<a href="http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/datasets.shtml">data set</a>.<br>
<font color="red">NOTE: the Battle.net CD edition is not supported.</font><p>
</ul>
<h2>Hardware Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>Processor:</b> A 300 MHz CPU (faster recommended).<br>
<font color="red">NOTE: Stratagus is believed to be endian and word size safe, so other
architectures like (big endian) PPC or (64bit) Alpha should also
work at least with Linux.</font><p>
<li><b>Memory:</b> 32 MB of RAM (64 MB for mp3/ogg support).<br><p>
<li><b>Video Card:</b> Any graphics card that can handle 16 bpp
and 640x480 is supported. (OpenGL is supported, and requires a 32Meg Card)<p>
<li><b>Sound Card:</b> Optional. Windows (for Win32) or SDL
(for unix or Mac OS X) compatible sound cards are supported.<p>
</ul>
<h2>Installation</h2>
Mac OS X users: Extract the "contrib/macosx.tgz" file to the
top-level directory and read "Read Me.rtf".<p>
<ul>
<li><b>Step 1, Download and Extract:</b><p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84903">
Download</a> the source code.<br>
<font color="red">NOTE: both the tar.gz and zip files are the same,
we provide both formats for convenience.</font><p>
<li>Extract the source stratagus-DATE.tar.gz with
'tar -zxvf stratagus-DATE.tar.gz'
</ul>
<br>
<li><b>Step 2, Compile:</b><p>
<ul>
<li><b>GCC/Mingw users:</b>
<ul>
<li>Run 'autoconf' then './configure' to create the Makefile.
<li>When complete, type 'make depend &amp;&amp; make' to compile, and
it should compile a working 'stratagus' (or 'stratagus.exe' for win32)
binary.<p>
</ul>
<li><b>MSVC users:</b>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/msvc-libs.zip">
Download</a> the VC++ libraries and extract them into the root
stratagus directory.
<li>Open the workspace file stratagus.dsw and compile.
</ul>
</ul>
<br>
<li><b>Step 3, Run:</b><p>
You may now go into the toplevel stratagus directory and run the binary.
Remember, you have to obtain some gamedata to start the engine. stratagus
looks in './data', if your data is in a different location you will need
to run stratagus with the '-d' option. Games can be found
