Requirements
The requirements for Freeciv and the platforms it's been reported successfully installed on. Note that GNU/Linux and Sun Solaris are the primary target platforms. Freeciv has not officially been tested on the other platforms. Note also that many OS distributors provide pre-packaged, ready-to-use distributions of Freeciv, and some more are available in our Download section.
Specific compiling requirements | Platforms reported to work |
---|---|
All:
Unixes:
Windows:
OS2:
Packages which satisfy some of these requirements can be found on the ftp site. |
based on X:
without X: |
For more info about installing refer to the INSTALL
file, included in the Freeciv distribution.
The SVN snapshots may have additional requirements for building; you need to use the flag ./configure --disable-cvs-deps
if your make isn't GNU make, and ./configure --disable-nls
if you do not have a full gettext installation.
Follow these 4 steps and you will be playing Freeciv in no time!
Install
Windows users, go to Install-Windows for install instructions.
Install the software on your local computer:
- If you downloaded a precompiled binary package for your platform, install it using the method of the packaging system.
- If you downloaded the source code, unpack and compile it. On Unix-like systems, this can be done as follows:
- Change to the directory where you want to perform the installation work;
/tmp
is often a good choice. - Unpack the file you downloaded (see unzipping). The files are put into a subdirectory;
cd
into it. - If you're too impatient to read and follow the
INSTALL
and other documentation to be found there, try the command
- Change to the directory where you want to perform the installation work;
./configure && make install
and hope for the best. However, you will probably need to pass some options to ./configure
, call gmake
instead of make
, or install some auxiliary software packages first.
On Mandrake/Mandriva, you will need to install versions of
- libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0-devel,
- libpango1.0-devel
- libatk-1.0_0-devel
- libgtk+2.0_0-devel (this one last)
Start the client
Start the client by executing the command civclient
.
- This must be done from your GUI (X) interface. If you installed a precompiled package, it may provide a shortcut in the form of a Freeciv icon or something similar. A dialog window appears with the following alternatives:
- Start New Game lets you start and customize a new game and launch a server to host the game.
- Start Scenario Game lets you play one of the scenarios which are available.
- Load Saved Game allows you to continue playing on a saved game.
- Connect to Network Game gives the possibility to search for a server using an Internet Metaserver or search for a server on your Local Area Network. Internet Metaserver allows you to select one of the current available servers elsewhere on the net. Searching for servers on your Local Area Network uses multicast to locate other Freeciv servers, and will not detect servers properly if your server is behind a firewall. If the server is in Pregame state, it still accepts new players. If the game has already started, you can only connect as an existing player.
Start the game
If you play alone, on your own server:
- To play with 4 computer players, type
set aifill 5
on the server prompt. - On the server prompt, type
start
to start the game. - Change back to the client window and pick your nation.
- To play with 4 computer players, type
If you play with others:
- On the server prompt, you can issue the command
cmdlevel ctrl
so clients are allowed to give server commands. (On public civservers, we do this for you.) - In the client window, you can type
/start
. You may want to wait for players and discuss the setup with them first. - Pick your nation and wait for others to pick theirs. If you leave now, you will be removed from the game.
- If someone won't or can't pick a nation (use the
/list
command to find out), you can/ai
them or/cut
them from the game altogether.
- On the server prompt, you can issue the command
More details and options can be found elsewhere on the site.
Now that you've gotten it running, you'll want to play your first few games. It is recommended that you try playing solitaire a few times, so that you can get a feel for how things work, but this is not necessary. You can learn by playing with others as well.
