The Advanced Prince of Persia Engine (a childhood dream)
If you are getting the sources from the VCS (or change
configure.ac), you'll need to have Automake and Autoconf to
(re)build the configuration script. To build the binary GCC,
GNU Make, gnulib, and Allegro 5 (>= 5.0.9) development
library are necessary as well. For building the documentation you'll
need Texinfo, TeX Live and help2man. All these should be
available from your distribution's package manager. If you use an apt
based distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, ...) you can do this by invoking
the command:
sudo apt-get install automake autoconf gcc make gnulib liballegro5-dev \
liballegro-image5-dev liballegro-audio5-dev liballegro-acodec5-dev \
liballegro-dialog5-dev texinfo texlive texlive-generic-recommended help2man
When building the sources, the usual incantation ./bootstrap && ./configure && make is often enough. The installation step (make install) is optional as MININIM is able to run directly from its
source directory (provided you don’t make a VPATH build, in which
case you need to specify the data path. See the --data-path
option). After that first time, running make should suffice to
rebuild the program with your changes. See file INSTALL.
