Compiling Bolitaire
===================

Bolitaire depends on the following libraries

   PROGRAM               LICENCE INFO
           
1) allegro               Giftware  
2) allegro mp3           LGPL
3) jpg allegro           zlib/libpng
4) alrand                LGPL

In order to compile Bolitaire you need to install all the above libraries, the happy 
news is they are also free.

Note: in allegro mp3 almp3.c source you need to add this function and compile

    void make_custom_changes(ALMP3_MP3STREAM *mp3, int bytes)
    {
      mp3->current_frame = bytes / mp3->framebytes;
    }
    
    otherwise bolitaire wont compile

There is no make file for Bolitaire, which means you have to compile it by hand.


Compiling bolitaire under linux
===============================
Install all other depended libraries[modified almp3]. Now to compile bolitaire issues this command from terminal,

gcc driver.c main.c almp3.c browser.c function.c function2.c function3.c function4.c -o bolitaire `allegro-config --shared` -ljpgal -lalmp3 -lalrand

where bolitaire is the executable name.


Compiling bolitaire under DOS
===============================
Install DJGPP, now install all other depended libraries[modified almp3]. Now to compile bolitaire issues this command from command prompt,

gcc main.c almp3.c browser.c functi~3.c functi~2.c functi~1.c function.c driver.c -o bolitaire.exe -ljpgal -lalmp3 -lalleg -lalrand

use upx.exe to reduce the size of the executable.

Compiling bolitaire under windows
==================================
Boltaire was developed using Dev-cpp IDE, Get the latest from www.bloodshed.net. when I
used version 4.9.9.2 was latest, now install all the required libraries. 
compiling using Dev-cpp
-----------------------
1) create new console project, import all the source files
2) In project options/parameters/linker, order the libs in this order
   a) libalmp3.a
   b) libjpgal.a
   c) liballeg.a
   d) libalrand.a
3) Execute/compile and run or just press F9 to compile and execute bolitaire.

compiling from command prompt
-----------------------------
issue this command from the source directory to compile bolitaire
gcc main.c almp3.c browser.c functi~3.c functi~2.c functi~1.c function.c driver.c -o bolitaire.exe -ljpgal -lalmp3 -lalleg -lalrand


Compiling bolitaire under BeOS
===============================
Install BeOS developement packages, then install all other required libraries, some libraries makefile script wont work, In case compile them by hand like this

=to compile almp3=
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/layer2.c -o obj/djgpp/static/layer2.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/layer3.c -o obj/djgpp/static/layer3.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/interface.c -o obj/djgpp/static/interface.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/decode_i386.c -o obj/djgpp/static/decode_i386.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/dct64_i386.c -o obj/djgpp/static/dct64_i386.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/common.c -o obj/djgpp/static/common.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude decoder/tabinit.c -o obj/djgpp/static/tabinit.o
gcc -c -Wall -O2 -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -ffast-math -Idecoder -Iinclude src/almp3.c -o obj/djgpp/static/almp3.o
ar rs lib/djgpp/libalmp3.a obj/djgpp/static/layer2.o obj/djgpp/static/layer3.o obj/djgpp/static/interface.o obj/djgpp/static/decode_i386.o obj/djgpp/static/dct64_i386.o obj/djgpp/static/common.o obj/djgpp/static/tabinit.o obj/djgpp/static/almp3.o

dont care that the directory is djgpp, it s not a problem.
then copy the include files to /beos/develop/headers and libalmp3.a /beos/develop/lib/x86

=to compile alrand=
$ gcc -Wall -W -O2 -o alrand.o -c alrand.c
$ gcc -Wall -W -O2 -o mersenne.o -c mersenne.c
$ gcc -Wall -W -O2 -o lcg.o -c lcg.c
$ ar cr libalrand.a alrand.o mersenne.o lcg.o

then copy the include files to /beos/develop/headers/alrand and libalrand.a /beos/develop/lib/x86

=to compile jpgalleg=
follow the instructions in the library to install, it may stuck when compiling example reaches, but required libjpgal.a has been generated already, so copy the include files to /beos/develop/headers and libjpgal.a /beos/develop/lib/x86 


after installing all libraries successfully compile bolitairefrom a terminal issuing the following command,
gcc main.c driver.c browser.c almp3.c function.c function2.c function3.c function4.c -o Bolitaire `allegro-config --shared` -ljpgal -lalmp3 -lalrand
