Compiling ScummVM with GCC under Linux

Tools/libraries needed

Mandatory (these should also install dependencies)

gcc-c++ (under Fedora Core, run "yum install gcc-c++" as root to install the GNU C++ compiler)
SDL-devel (under Fedora Core, run "yum install SDL-devel" as root to install it)

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)
TODO (tremor, libfluidsynth)

Building the libraries

todo

Configuring ScummVM

Run the configure script - type "./configure" in the directory with the ScummVM source files. If no errors come up, you should be ready to compile ScummvM. Run "./configure --help" for a list of optional features (eg additional, not yet enabled engines).

Compiling ScummVM

run make

Installing ScummVM

either run ./scummvm from the current directory or run make install to install ScummVM (you can then run it using "scummvm" from any directory)
