I really need to update the documentation now we've both changed to a new version control system and have got the Mac port. For now, though I hope that the following short list of steps will help. 1. Install MacPorts. 2. [in a terminal] sudo port install bzr wget [bzr, or bazaar, is the version control system that we use and wget is a program that will enable the scripts in the AQ code repository to download additional development files for your later on] 3. [in a terminal] bzr branch lp:audioquake 4. cd audioquake 5. ./compile-mod-tree [this builds a working AQ mod] 6. ./make-release [this builds release files. for the Windows release, further work on Windows is necessary] I hope I've not missed anything out and that that gets you started. I will update the documentation ASAP. > Also on the linux side of things, I'd be quite interested in playing > aq on linux, particularly as the accessibility seems to be improving > and I have an old windows machine I'm thinking of putting linux on.

It's a shame that we have not been able to stub out the graphical side of the engine so much that we can do away with the client's requirement for X, but at least now Gnome is becoming much more accessible (it's great to hear that OS X is, too). > Hope to hear from you soon, and hope the paper is going well, Thanks. I have had a long time to think about what to write so I hope that the next few days are kind to me in terms of time to get it all down and get results in. It is a great shame that due to all sorts of other pressures things have run up to the line like this, but at the very least LDL has now gained some momentum. I really hope that I'll be able to justify the continued time on it. If it begins to look like an interesting academic project then there are lots of ways it could be furthered. best regards, -- Matthew Tylee Atkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ AGRIP-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agrip.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/agrip-discuss
