Building is (ahem) very easy.

|
ALL PLATFORMS:
|
|
|
|
Please understand your rights and mine: read the text file LICENSE in the root
|
|
of the source tree. If you can't abide by it, delete this source tree now.
|
|
|
|
The best documentation for the PhysicsFS API is physfs.h. It is VERY heavily
|
|
commented, and makes an excellent, in-depth reference to all the functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UNIX:
|
|
|
|
Edit "Makefile", and follow the instructions. The defaults are probably okay
|
|
for general purposes, but give it a once over to make sure. If you don't have
|
|
zLib on your system, you'll need to disable ZIP support.
|
|
|
|
run "make"
|
|
|
|
That's it. The library will be sitting in a new directory called "bin".
|
|
|
|
Run "make install" to install the library for use on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WIN32:
|
|
Download http://icculus.org/physfs/downloads/physfs-win32-support.zip, and
|
|
unpack in the root of the source directory, preserving directory names. If
|
|
you did it correctly, there should be a directory named "zlib114" in the
|
|
same directory as "physfs.h". This archive has Visual C project files and
|
|
the code needed for zipfile support in PhysicsFS, since most Windows boxes
|
|
don't have zlib preinstalled.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: If you are using anything older than Visual Studio.NET, you
|
|
will _NEED_ to upgrade to the latest Platform SDK from Microsoft. It is a
|
|
free download: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
|
|
Be sure to install _at least_ the Core SDK and the WMI SDK. I'm not sure if
|
|
this is needed (or usable for Cygwin). Even though you need these SDK updates,
|
|
the compiled PhysicsFS DLL should work on any win32 platform from Win95 and
|
|
WinNT 4.0 and later.
|
|
|
|
No one's tried building this for a WinCE (PocketPC) platform, but it may or
|
|
may not work. Patches are welcome.
|
|
|
|
After that, if building with CygWin, follow the Unix instructions, above.
|
|
(Which used to work, see caveat about Platform SDK above). If you're using
|
|
Visual C, point the IDE at physfs.dsp, and build. If you're using any other
|
|
compiler, send me a patch when you get it working. :)
|
|
|
|
If someone is willing to maintain prebuilt PhysicsFS DLLs, I'd like to hear
|
|
from you; send an email to icculus@clutteredmind.org.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MACOS 8/9:
|
|
Download http://icculus.org/physfs/downloads/mac_classic_support.sit and
|
|
unpack it in the root of the physfs folder. It should produce a folder
|
|
called "Mac Classic Support" that has CodeWarrior 6 project files and a
|
|
copy of zlib for zipfile support.
|
|
|
|
If someone is willing to maintain prebuilt PhysicsFS Shared Libraries for
|
|
the Mac, I'd like to hear from you; send an email to icculus@clutteredmind.org.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OTHER PLATFORMS:
|
|
Many platforms might "just work" with the Unix Makefile (such as BeOS and
|
|
MacOS X), but have not been heavily tested, if tested at all. To implement a
|
|
new platform or archiver, please read the heavily-commented physfs_internal.h
|
|
and look in the platform/ and archiver/ directories for examples.
