To build from source:

1. Ensure that you have packages installed providing development versions of: Boost (system filesystem, iostreams), Lua 5.2, Zlib
2. Navigate to where you want to install the source. I use ~/Development/github - but it can be whatever you want.
3. Clone the project: git clone https://github.com/thebracket/bgame (and wait a while)
4. Enter the project directory with cd bgame
5. Run the helper script to setup your build environment: ./setup-unix-build.sh. This will create a "build" directory.
6. Enter the build directory, cd build
7. Build the game with make. You can use make -j4 (replace the 4 with the number of cores in your system) to speed this step up.

Linux build tested on Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily), amd-64.

RLTK updates periodically, so it's a good idea to update it when you pull a new version to build.

Unstable Builds

I'm still getting the machinery together to post unstable builds. Right now, there is a repeatable - scripted - build setup, but it requires that I remember to run it on three different platforms! These are just starting to come together, so for now I can't make any promises that these will work at all... but you can download periodic builds here
