Compiling ScummVM with GCC under BeOS

As ScummVM is relying on a BONE version you need the BONE network stack (ZETA and Haiku) version for BeOS to compile (needs libbind and libsocket).

For Haiku there is already a version available in the HaikuDepot, latest versions can be build with haikuporter out of the box, a recipe for version 1.8.1 is at this moment in waiting line to get approved into the haikuports repo at github. For instructions how to install haikuporter/haikuports look at Haikuports, Haiku comes with a recent gcc5 version that is able to build ScummVM out of the box.

Getting the source

Open a Terminal and type:

git clone git://github.com/scummvm/scummvm.git

Tools/libraries needed

Mandatory (these should also install dependencies)

Optional

flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec, needed if you want to play compressed games without quality loss)
libmad (MPEG Audio Decoder, needed if you want to play MP3-compressed games)
libOGG and libVorbis (OGG Vorbis decoder, needed if you want to play OGG-Vorbis-compressed games)
libMPEG2 (.mpg video decoder, needed for the re-encoded cutscenes in Broken Sword 1/2)
nasm (The Netwide Assembler, used for HQx scalers)

Configuring ScummVM

Open Terminal and run configure with these options:

LDFLAGS=-L<path to where you have the libs/headers installed> ./configure --prefix=<path to where you want to install> --with-nasm-prefix=<path to nasm>

Compiling ScummVM

run make

Installing ScummVM

Run make install to install ScummVM (you can then run it using "scummvm" from any directory), if you are using a different directory scummvm will probably revert to the classic view due to not finding the gui theme in the subfolder but will nevertheless work ok.

-scummvm is like most games based on a unix kind of system and uses /usr paths hence the prefix path, I'm always using /boot/apps/Games/<game_port> myself for obvious reasons.
