INSTALL

* TO BUILD ONSCRIPTER FOR YOUR USE

This is the usual

  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install


This will use gcc by default; to use icc, start with
  CC=icc ./configure


* TO BUILD A RELATIVELY REDISTRIBUTABLE ONSCRIPTER BINARY

  ./configure --with-internal-libs
  make

This will statically link as many libraries as possible into the
executable, which makes life better on systems with very primitive
application installation methods, such as OS X and Windows.

(You may actually prefer to do this other platforms too; I've several
times had problems with OS-provided SDL libraries producing stuttering
audio while the internal version worked beautifully.)

If you are compiling ONScripter for a system with modern package
management - for example, if you are creating a binary package for a
specific Linux distribution - then it may make more sense to omit the
--with-internal-libs, compile a dynamically linked executable, and
have your package depend on the regular platform-specific packages for
SDL, Freetype, and all the other dependencies.


* NOTES

For Windows builds, use a MinGW toolchain in the MSYS environment.
There is no Visual Studio option; it just isn't worth the pain.

For Mac OS X there is an XCode project file in the "macosx" directory.
It builds a Universal binary as an application bundle.
Either build from within XCode, or use "xcodebuild" from a shell prompt. 
It is known to build with XCode 2.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.
The game data can either be stored in the Contents/Resources within the
bundle, or run ONScripter.app from within the game directory itself.
