OpenMW - the completely unofficial reimplementation of Morrowind
================================================================

OpenMW is an open source reimplementation of the Morrowind game
engine. For more information, see README.txt or

    http://openmw.snaptoad.com/




Building from source
====================

Supported Windows platforms:
----------------------------

Only tested on Windows XP. If you manage to compile or run OpenMW on
another Windows platform (9x/Me/NT/Vista), please let me know!


Dependencies:
-------------

Dependencies needed to build OpenMW:

OGRE 1.4.9         (3d engine)
Audiere 1.9.4      (sound engine)
Mingw              (C++ compiler)
gdc 4.1.3 (mingw)  (D compiler)

The above versions are the ones I have tested recently, but other
versions might work. OGRE, Audiere and OIS are complex libraries with
their own set of dependencies. I recommend downloading prebuild SDKs
instead of building them from source. You can find these here:

OGRE:     http://ogre3d.org (See "Getting Ogre" in README-win32.txt for details)
Audiere:  http://audiere.sourceforge.net/
OIS:      Comes with Ogre
Mingw     http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
gdc       http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcwin/

(Note that the "official" D compiler, DMD, will not work, because it
is incompatible with most C++ compilers in Windows.)


Setting everything up
---------------------

First, install Mingw (get the automatic installer.) Make sure gcc and
g++ packages are selected.

Next install the gdcwin installer (the package named 'gdc') and
install it in the same directory as Mingw.

Open a command line. Set up your PATH to include Mingw and gdc
(eg. "set PATH=%PATH%;c:\mingw\bin"). Make sure the commands g++ and
gdc work (should output "no input files".)

The build script expects to find the Ogre and Audiere SDKs in the
parent directory. An example directory structure is:

c:\openmw\Ogre       - Ogre SDK
c:\openmw\Audiere    - Audiere SDK
c:\openmw\openmw     - OpenMW source


Building
--------

To build, simply run build_openmw.bat


Running
-------

For instructions on how to set everything up after compilation, see
README-win32.txt.

Good luck!
