(You can use symlinks instead, + of course.) + You might want to set GAME_DIR to the full + path of the game in your file system, so + you don't have to go to the game directory + when you want to play it. + +SOUNDS - If you never want to hear any sounds, + set this to "-DNO_SOUNDS", but be warned: + It's much less fun playing without sound! :) + (The program detects by itself if it can + play sounds or not, anyway.) + +SCORE_ENTRIES - Set this to "-DONE_PER_NAME" if you want + to allow only one entry per player in the + score file for each level. This is useful + if there are many players to prevent one + single player to "flood" the Hall Of Fame + of every level completely with his name... + On single user systems, "-DMANY_PER_NAME" + might be useful to have your name more + than once in the list. + +SYSTEM - If you have problems with the default + settings, it might be useful to uncomment + one of the defines for "SYSTEM" in the + Makefile, which defines values like + "-DSYSV" and something like that. + +CC, INCL, LIBS - Set these ones to the appropriate values + you usually use on your system to compile. + + +Now you can 'make clean' and 'make' and the game binary should be +compiled right out of the box. I have tested it with "-Wall" on my +system, so I hope that it compiles fine on other systems, too. + +The program should compile and run on Linux (of course), +HP-UX, AIX, Net-BSD, SUN and IRIX. + +Have fun! + +Holger Schemel, 22.
