Lisparuga

Let's just get this out of the way: I know that it really sucks that there aren't any pre-built binaries and it means that almost no one will play this game! I need to make more tools to make binary distribution possible in the future.

Lisparuga is supported on GNU/Linux systems only. In order to build Lisparuga, some bleeding edge Guile software is needed (provided on this page in source tarballs) along with some C libraries that should be readily available in your distro's package manager. If you are comfortable with compiling software from source on a regular basis, it should be fairly straightforward to build as each component uses the GNU autotools build system that most of us are used to.

I wish I had this all pre-compiled in an easy-to-run package, but I just didn't have time for it. Sorry! I hope to fix this in the future.

That said, it might be easiest to install the GNU Guix package manager and get all of the dependencies that way, as that is what I used to develop the game. In fact, I'll cover that method first!

GNU Guix method (automated!)

tar xf lisparuga-0.1.0
cd lisparuga-0.1.0
guix environment -l guix.scm
./configure
make
./pre-inst-env guile game.scm

Manual compilation method

Install C libraries

You will need to install sdl2, sdl2-ttf, sdl2-mixer, and sdl2-image from your distro's package manager. You also need Mesa for the OpenGL implementation and a graphics card that supports OpenGL 3.0.

Build bleeding edge stuff

Guile in particular is going to take a very long time to compile, so be patient.

tar xf guile-opengl-0.1.0
