How to compile ?

You need the following things to compile craft :


  - The  file craftcc35.tar.Z
  - The gnu g++ and gcc
  - A shell-script interpreter
  - The tar command 
  - And Xlib
 

Now you can start to do the following things.

- place craftcc35.tar.Z in a new directory (e.g. craft) and "untar" it.
- edit "install" and change paths for libs and call of gnu stuff
  (only a few lines)
- execute "install" (on SUNOS/LINUX) or "install_solaris"

If everything is correct it will take a while to compile craft. If this
process is finished, you will have an executable craft in the
directory afterwards. Now you can call it.

Craft needs a proper directory-structure which contains the various resource
files used by craft. Its structure looks like :

- craft        
- .windefaults 
- \buttons     
- \hcraft      

This structure is automatically produced during the unpacking of the source
code files. You should compile in the top directory of the above
directory tree.

A Makefile

The distribution includes a special "install" procedure, therefore
there is no explicit <A HREF="craft_make.html">makefile</A> needed. If you
want one anyway, you can fetch one of the follwoing <P>

I hope that it will work (not tested, no guaranty for anything).

As far as i understand the story, "install" must be executed at least
once before you can use one of it, because "install" creates some 
preprocessors (hcc) needed by this makefile.

Finally

This source code is free, everybody may do everything with it, if it is not
used commercially. I guarantee absolutely nothing, <B>everything is at your
own risk and I explicitly warn you not to compile or play the game :-).

By the way if there are a few guys who are interested in further development
of the game, mail me. I would be interested to hear your ideas and tips.
