Compiling on the OLPC XO Laptop
From OHRRPGCE-Wiki
The OLPC XO laptop is capable of running the OHRRPGCE, but it is not currently easy to install.

[edit] From the Terminal
You will need to type Linux commands from the XO's Terminal activity.
[edit] Installing Libraries
Become root
su
Then use yum to install libraries
yum install glibc-devel libtermcap-devel ncurses-devel libX11-devel libXpm-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel SDL_mixer-devel
Then type exit to stop being root
exit
[edit] Installing FreeBasic
The sugar interface does not provide any way (that I know of) for the terminal to access files saved to your journal from Firefox. Instead, download the FreeBasic installer using wget
First, make a folder to store the installer. I like dl' for downloads
mkdir dl cd dl
Then use wget and the full URL of the file to download:
wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fbc/FreeBASIC-v0.18.2b-linux.tar.gz
After the file downloads, unpack it with the tar command
tar -zxvf FreeBASIC-v0.18.2b-linux.tar.gz
Now change into the newly unpacked directory
cd FreeBASIC
Now become root
su
And then run the FreeBasic installer.
./install.sh -i
Type exit to stop being root
exit
change back to your home directory
cd ~
[edit] Getting OHRRPGCE source code
First, install subversion.
become root
su
Use yum to install the subversion packages
yum install subversion
Type exit to stop being root
exit
Now make a directory to store your source code. I like src
mkdir src cd src
Now check out the OHRRPGCE source code
svn co svn://gilgamesh.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce ohr
After the code is check out change into the wip directory
cd ~/src/ohr/wip
And run the scripts to compile with the SDL backends
./makegame.sh sdl sdl && ./makeedit.sh sdl sdl
To run game or custom, you can use these commands from the terminal
~/src/ohr/wip/ohrrpgce-game -f ~/src/ohr/wip/ohrrpgce-custom -f
The -f means fullscreen. Unfortunately fullscreen does not work on the XO hardware, but -f will make the OHRRPGCE window appear in the center of the screen, instead of the top-left corner.
[edit] Making it Faster
Thanks to TeeEmCee's recent performance work, the OHR runs aat an acceptable speed on XO hardware at -z 2
You can make the OHRRPGCE run faster by compiling it without -exx. Edit makegame.sh and makeedit.sh and remove -exx from the fbc command line. Without -exx the OHRRPGCE is playable fairly smoothly at -z 3 zoom level (although fades are still noticeably slow)
[edit] Packages
if I figure out how to construct easier-to-install packages for the XO, I will post them here.
