Installation


u61 and u61-data

u61

The "u61" package contains:

Basically, "u61" is the only required package since it contains the executable. It contains enough to give you a quick start with U61, and allows you to play without downloading tons of graphics with a 56K modem 8-)

If you download U61 from CVS, note that the CVS version does not contain any script or theme file.

u61-data

The "u61-data" package contains:

Basically, "u61-data" is for those who like U61 and want more of it.


Download instructions

U61 is freely available on the internet. As it is free software, you might also find it on a CD-Rom. If you do not have U61 and want to get it, try the following URLs:

You may also get "u61" and "u61-dat" from CVS, using the following commands:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.u61.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u61 login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.u61.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u61 co u61
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.u61.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u61 co u61-data

When you are prompted with a password, just press "ENTER".


Required tools and libraries

Libraries

These libraries are not required if you are installing a Windows binary distribution of U61, since everything is contained in the ".zip".

Tools

These tools are required if you try to compile U61, if you got a binary distribution, you do not need them.


Standard install under Linux

If there are no binaries for your Linux platform (which should be the case at the time I write this document since there are no binaries available at all), then you have to download a source tarball.

The files should be named:

U61 uses GNU autoconf. The install scripts I've prepared aren't perfect and do not check everything, but most of the problems should be detected. Let's say for instance that you are installing version 0.3.0. Once you got u61-0.3.0.tar.gz, type:

gunzip u61-0.3.0.tar.gz
tar xf u61-0.3.0.tar
cd u61-0.3.0
./configure
make
su

Now you have to type your root password, then:

make install
exit
u61

And if everything is all right, you should see the game running...

The installation of "u61-data" is pretty much the same, but keep in mind that:
