Building

This part of the documentation simply expands slightly on the contents of the README in the source distribution.

Notes

Note that the viDOOM makefile expects the include command to be honoured.

Instructions

Step 1

Edit the makefile.

Step 2

Change the following line to the name of your platform:

MAKEPLAT=djgpp

The following platforms are currently supported:

DJGPP - Protected-mode 32-bit MSDOS (Windows 9x / MSDOS + DPMI)

Step 3

If you are going to use the install script, then update the following line:

INSTALLDIR=C:/viDOOM

so it points to the directory where you wish it to be installed.

Step 4

Set the MKDS to the directory separator for this platform. This is used so that the makefile can safely access sub directories:

MKDS=/

Step 5

If you wish to build the debug version remove the comment (hash character - #) from the start of the following line:

DEBUG=-DDEBUG

Step 6

To make viDOOM simply invoke the make program for your system. To install viDOOM invoke the make program for your system, telling it to build the rule install.
