Installation instructions

QTruco is provided in two ways: as a source tarball (.tar.gz file), and as a Debian package (.deb file). If you use Debian (or any Debian-based distribution, like Morphix or Knoppix), you should choose the latter, as installation and desinstallation are easier.

Instructions are different for each one of the files.

Installation from tarball (.tar.gz file)

Download the file, open a console and cd to the directory where you downloaded it.
Type
```
tar -xvcf <filename.tar.gz>
```
without the < and >.
Type
```
cd qtruco-<version number>
```
. This will move you to the created directory.
Type
```
./configure
```
to start configuring the code with the default options. On most platforms I would recommend to do
```
./configure --prefix=/usr
```
, as it will make qtruco use the default paths.
Type
```
make && make install
```
to start compilation. This should take a while.
Type
```
qtruco &
```
to start QTruco from the command line. Good gaming!

Installation from Debian package (.deb file)

Download the file, open a console and cd to the directory where you downloaded it.
Type
```
dpkg -i <filename.deb>
```
, without the < and >.
Type
```
qtruco &
```
to start QTruco from the command line. Good gaming!

Possible issues when compiling

./configure errors: check you have all required libraries in your system. The most important one is qt3 development library.
make errors: check you are using GCC 3.*, which is my main compiler. GCC 2.9* should work fine too. GCC 4 has not been tested. Type
```
gcc --version
```
to check what compiler you're using. Check
```
./configure --help
```
to check how to force other compiler (you probably have more than one GCC version in your Linux box).
