NOTE: The build process changed as of KEGS v0.70!

General build instructions:
--------------------------

You need to build with a make utility.  I've only tested GNU make.
There's a default Makefile, which should work for nearly any environment.
The Makefile includes a file called "vars" which defines the platform-
dependent variables.  You need to make vars point to the appropriate
file for your machine.

This makes my maintenance of the diverse platforms a bit easier.

WIN32 build instructions:
------------------------

See the file README.win32 for build instructions and other information
for Microsoft Windows.


Mac OS X  build instructions (the default):
------------------------------------------

KEGS is easy to compile.  Just cd to the src directory and type "make".
KEGS requires perl to be in your path (or just edit the vars file to give
the full path to wherever you installed perl).  Perl version 4 or 5 is
fine.

After the "make" has finished, it will create the application KEGSMAC.

To run, see README.mac.

X86 Linux build instructions:
----------------------------

Use the vars_x86linux file with:

rm vars; ln -s vars_x86linux vars
make

KEGS assumes perl is in your path. If it is somewhere else, you need to edit
the "PERL = perl" line in the vars file and make it point to the correct place.

Audio is currently disabled by default, but you can try turning it on
by runnning "kegs -audio 1".

A user recommends using "egcs -O6 -mpentium" for the best performance.

PowerPC Linux build instructions:
----------------------------

Use the vars_linuxppc vars file by:

rm vars; ln -s vars_linuxppc vars
make

KEGS assumes perl is in your path. If it is somewhere else, you need to edit
the "PERL = perl" line in the vars file and make it point to the correct place.

Audio is currently disabled by default, but you can try turning it on
by runnning "kegs -audio 1".  It sounds horrible to me, but sounds do
come out.

Solaris SPARC build instructions:
--------------------------------

Use the vars_solaris vars file by:

rm vars; ln -s vars_solaris vars
make

KEGS assumes perl is in your path. If it is somewhere else, you need to edit
the "PERL = perl" line in the vars file and make it point to the correct place.

Audio is currently disabled by default, but you can try turning it on
by runnning "kegs -audio 1".

Solaris x86 build instructions:
--------------------------------

Use the vars_x86solaris vars file by:

rm vars; ln -s vars_x86solaris vars
make

KEGS assumes perl is in your path. If it is somewhere else, you need to edit
the "PERL = perl" line in the vars file and make it point to the correct place.

Audio is currently disabled by default, but you can try turning it on
by runnning "kegs -audio 1".


Other platform "C" build instructions:
-------------------------------------

I don't know--you tell me.  If you are porting to an X-windows and
Unix-based machine, it should be easy.  Start with vars_x86linux if
you are a little-endian machine, or vars_linuxppc if you are big
endian.  Don't define -DKEGS_LITTLE_ENDIAN unless your processor is
little-endian (x86, Alpha).  Mac, Sun, MIPS, HP, Motorola, and IBM are
big-endian.
