* Installation Instructions Installing guile-2d is rather easy (but not easy enough) if you are on a GNU/Linux system. Currently, only installation instructions for Debian are provided, but the non-apt commands should work without any modifications on any GNU/Linux distro. This installation guide assumes that you have the GNU build system (automake, autoconf, texinfo, pkg-config) and git installed. ** Install dependencies *** Guile *Debian* #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo apt-get install guile-2.0-dev #+END_SRC This assumes that the version of Debian you are running has Guile 2.0.11. *Gentoo* #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo emerge ">=dev-scheme/guile-2.0.11" #+END_SRC Check the versions available to you with =sudo apt-cache show guile-2.0-dev=. *** SDL SDL is a very popular, cross-platform game library. *Debian* #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev #+END_SRC *Gentoo* #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo emerge libsdl sdl-image sdl-mixer #+END_SRC *** Freeimage Freeimage is to used to load textures. Make sure that your distro provides at least version 3.14. *Debian* #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo apt-get install libfreeimage-dev #+END_SRC *Gentoo* #+BEGIN_SRC sh sudo emerge freeimage #+END_SRC *** guile-sdl guile-sdl is the GNU Guile wrapper for SDL. Grab the latest release tarball from http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-sdl/. *Source* #+BEGIN_SRC sh tar xf guile-sdl-.tar.xz cd guile-sdl-/ ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install #+END_SRC Note: guile-sdl is currently broken on OS X. Please see this issue for more information: https://github.com/davexunit/guile-2d/issues/2 *** guile-opengl *Source* guile-opengl is the GNU Guile wrapper for OpenGL. Grab the latest release tarball from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile-opengl/. #+BEGIN_SRC sh tar -xvf guile-opengl-.tar.gz cd guile-opengl/ ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install #+END_SRC ** Install guile-2d Once the dependencies have been installed, installing guile-2d is pretty straightforward. *GNU/Linux* #+BEGIN_SRC sh git clone https://github.com/davexunit/guile-2d.git cd guile-2d/ ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install #+END_SRC *** Install to /usr/local If you want to avoid installing to /usr, you can build like this: #+BEGIN_SRC sh ./configure GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0/:/usr/local/share/guile/site/ make sudo make install #+END_SRC Then use the same call to run guile: #+BEGIN_SRC GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0/:/usr/local/share/guile/site/ guile #+END_SRC
