see also the textfile INSTALL in the main dir

For building the Updater from source see UpdaterBuildingFromSource

problems with fmod ? you can try using openal instead, see BuildingWithOpenAL

Dependencies (linux and win)

Windows & Linux

get the static zlib from this package:
Visual C++.Net 2005 (8.0) SP1 Precompiled Dependencies 1.4.x

Linux only


you need either fmod or openal, fmod is used by default, to change this to openal see http://sfz.schattenkind.net/wiki/index.php/BuildingWithOpenAL

linux dependencies as packages (debian/ubuntu)

  • the names of some packages that have to be installed to compile sfz,
  • install use "apt-get install packagename"
  • (this list is probably incomplete, but it might help)


  • liblua50 liblualib50 lua50 liblua50-dev liblualib50-dev
  • libalut-dev
  • libopenal-dev
  • libvorbisfile3
  • libvorbis-dev
  • libboost-dev
  • libboost-thread-dev

maybe those for ode ? but i think i compiled from source

  • libode0-dev
  • libode0c2

building under linux

LinuxCompileTroubleShooting

we currently have 3 build systems, automake, scons and premake automake is recommended for trying to make packages, as the it has config for installing etc, but noone currently active knows automake well, and it's macro-language can be a pain for some daily tasks.

we internally use scons(python based) and premake(lua based) during development, they are not so well adjusted to the many different linux distro's, so you might have to manually change some library names or similar, but we found tweaking them a lot easier than automake.

the scons one has been around longer, but since we are more comfortable with the lua scripting language we might move permanently to premake and drop scons.

we configured neither scons nor premake for "installing" sfz, as we start it directly during development, and we are not very familiar with the linux install process (especially when talking about multiple distros).

building with scons

Requirements:

Scons replaces the old autotools build system, just run "scons" and it will automatically search for dependencies, then build SFZ if all the requirements are met.

If you have never used scons before, or if you get compile/linker errors after updating :

  • "scons --clean" (or -c) - Equivalent to "make clean"
  • "scons configure" - Forces scons to run the configure stage again (i.e ./configure)
  • see "scons -H" for more scons specific information

NOTE: If you've installed the libraries SFZ requires into /usr/local/lib/, make sure you add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf otherwise the game will complain about missing libraries.

building with premake

download premake from http://premake.sourceforge.net/download

(either build from source with make install, or download the binary and install into /usr/local/bin)

use 

 premake --target gnu && make

in the sfz directory to build


installing fmod in linux

download FMOD Ex 4.x Programmers API for linux from http://www.fmod.org/

http://www.fmod.org/index.php/download#FMODExProgrammersAPI 

 tar xfz fmodapi40622linux.tar.gz
 cd fmodapi40622linux
 su
 make install
 /sbin/ldconfig

if you encounter problems during compile you might have to also do the follwing 

 cd /opt/
 mkdir fmod
 cd fmod
 cp -r PLACE_WHERE_UNPACKED/fmodapi40622linux/* .
 /sbin/ldconfig


(the old fmod3.* also needed this, but seems to be irrelevant now : cd /usr/local/lib  ; ln -s /opt/fmod/api/libfmod-3.75.so )

WIN32 with Visual C++ 8.0 Express

  • configure library and include paths yourself:
    • menu : extras : options
    • projects : VC++ directories
    • at the top-right corner choose "libraries" and "includes" from the dropdown and include these paths
      • "libraries" 
	libraries:
	C:\sfzlibs\\boost_1_34_1\lib
	C:\sfzlibs\ogre\lib
	C:\sfzlibs\psdk\Lib
	C:\sfzlibs\lua50\lib
	C:\sfzlibs\fmodx\lib
	C:\sfzlibs\zlib\lib (taken as static lib from Precompiled Dependencies)
	C:\sfzlibs\ode-0.8\lib\releasedll

	includes:
	C:\sfzlibs\boost_1_34_1
	C:\sfzlibs\ogre\include
	C:\sfzlibs\ogre\include\OIS
	C:\sfzlibs\lua50\source\include
	C:\sfzlibs\fmodx\include
	C:\sfzlibs\zlib\include\ (taken as static lib from Precompiled Dependencies)
	C:\sfzlibs\ode-0.8\include



project settings / linker / input should contain the following : 
libboost_thread-vc80-mt-s-1_34_1.lib ode.lib zlib.lib lua.lib lualib.lib LIBCMT.lib LIBCPMT.LIB User32.Lib AdvAPI32.Lib ws2_32.lib OgreMain.lib SDL.lib OIS.lib fmodex_vc.lib
but they should already be in the project file contained in the svn.

to compile with openal you also need the following : 

        OpenAL (optional)
        -----------------
        libraries:
	C:\sfzlibs\openalsdk\lib
        C:\sfzlibs\freealut\lib
	C:\sfzlibs\libogg\win32\Static_Release
	C:\sfzlibs\libvorbis\win32\Vorbis_Static_Release
	C:\sfzlibs\libvorbis\win32\VorbisFile_Static_Release

        includes:
	C:\sfzlibs\openalsdk\include
        C:\sfzlibs\freealut\include
	C:\sfzlibs\libogg\include
	C:\sfzlibs\libvorbis\include

	project settings / linker / input should contain the following :  add the following to the list :
		alut.lib OpenAL32.lib vorbisfile_static.lib vorbis_static.lib ogg_static.lib


  • compile - release build


  • copy the following dlls into the "\" (root) directory: 
	cg.dll  (for shaders, see nvidia hp)
	fmodex.dll (soundsystem)
	OgreMain.dll
	OIS.dll
	Plugin_CgProgramManager.dll (ogre plugin)
	Plugin_OctreeSceneManager.dll (ogre plugin)
	Plugin_ParticleFX.dll (ogre plugin)
	RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll (ogre plugin)
	RenderSystem_GL.dll (ogre plugin)

        OpenAL (optional)
        -----------------
	alut.dll  (openal)
	ogg.dll   (ogg vorbis)
	vorbis.dll (ogg vorbis)
	vorbisenc.dll (ogg vorbis)
	vorbisfile.dll (ogg vorbis)
