This is early, pre-alpha software. If you aren't familiar with autotools, please wait until binary packages are available.
Dependencies: libevent 2.0.9+ - http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ zlib 1.2.3+ - http://zlib.net/ jansson 2.0+ - http://www.digip.org/jansson/ pthreads
Successfully built on: Linux - GCC, LLVM/clang FreeBSD - GCC IRIX - MIPSpro (Big-Endian functionality verified) AIX - xlC, GCC (Big-Endian functionality verified) Windows - MinGW - Needs rework. Priority is getting basics working on UNIX. Windows - Cygwin (works great without modification)
== Users == Ubuntu users can try to compile from the latest source tarball available from this server: http://bb.tkte.ch/job/craftd-ubuntu/ or use git to download from git://github.com/kev009/craftd.git.
Keep in mind that this is bleeding edge and may not always be stable or usable.
Ruby and Rake are the suggested way of building craftd, although a statically generated Makefile and configure script are shipped if you cannot/do not want to install Ruby and Rake.
If you need to compile from the git repo, don't forget to run ./autogen.sh before heading into configuration/compilation.
Once you have the source prepared you can run rake install OR ./configure, make, and make install. By default, the server binary is located at /usr/local/bin/craftd.
At the moment craftd does not generate world data for a new server. You will need to provide world data from another server to start.
== Developers == Please contact me and let me know what parts you intend to work on first.
NOTE: You must run ./autogen.sh after checking out the git repo to generate a configure script and pull the submodules.
Use git pull for being up to date. Should you run into build issues, try running
make distclean and see if it helps.
