It uses the platform independent library SDL and, since +version 0.98, the OpenGL accelerated graphics renderer from CEGUI. The +game is developed in C++. + +Notes: + +Older versions of smc came without the music, so there used to be a +separate smc_music package. This is no longer the case: this build +includes the background music at the highest quality available. + +To compile this game you will need CEGUI0.7. Make sure CEGUI0.7 is +compiled after FreeImage, as this needs a CEGUI0.7 with FreeImage support +built in (the latest CEGUI0.7 SlackBuild will automatically use FreeImage +if available). + +Unfortunately, as of this writing, it's impossible to install both CEGUI +and CEGUI0.7 at the same time, so make sure CEGUI (the 0.8 version) +isn't installed or you'll end up with a mess. + +If you get compile errors related to CEGUI's NullRenderer, rebuild +CEGUI0.7 using the latest SlackBuild (older ones were missing NullRenderer +support). + +When running, the game emits CEGUI::InvalidRequestException messages on +its stderr. These are harmless and can be ignored: they're caused by +the CEGUI library searching for files in the current directory before +looking in the game directory at /usr/share/smc. |
