Welcome to Empire 4, code-named Wolfpack. Empire is a multi-player, client/server Internet based war game. Copyright (C) 1986-2021, Dave Pare, Jeff Bailey, Thomas Ruschak, Ken Stevens, Steve McClure, Markus Armbruster This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License (in file `COPYING'), or (at your option) any later version. See file `CREDITS' for a list of contributors. Directory `doc' has additional information. File `doc/README' describes the files there and what they talk about. To build the server and set up a game, follow the steps below. (1) Unpacking the source tree If you downloaded a tarball, unpack it. If you cloned a git repository, run bootstrap. This requires recent versions of Autoconf and Automake to be installed. See also doc/contributing. (2) Building a server Prerequisites: IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1-2001) with the X/Open System Interfaces Extension, GNU make, Perl, and either nroff or GNU troff (`groff'). See file `INSTALL' for detailed compilation and installation instructions. Quick guide for the impatient: run configure; make; make install. The last step is optional; everything runs fine right from the build tree. If configure reports "readline: no" in its configuration summary, fancy line editing doesn't work in the client. Commonly caused by not having development libraries installed. On Linux, try installing readline-devel. If configure reports "terminfo: no" in its configuration summary, highlighting doesn't work in the client. Commonly caused by not having development libraries installed. On Linux, try installing ncurses-devel. If make fails without doing anything, you're probably not using GNU make. Some systems have it installed as `gmake'. Solaris supports POSIX.1-2001, but you need to set up your environment for that. Try SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh PATH=/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH See standards(5) for details. Likewise, AIX needs XPG_SUS_ENV=ON. (3) Creating a game * Create a configuration for your game. make install installs one in $prefix/etc/empire/econfig ($prefix is /usr/local unless you chose something else with configure). You can use pconfig to create another one. * Edit your configuration file. See doc/econfig for more information. Unless you put your configuration file in the default location (where make install installs it), you have to use -e with all programs to make them use your configuration. * Run files to set up your data directory. * Run fairland to create a world. For a sample world, try `fairland 10 30'. This creates file ./newcap_script, which will be used below. You can edit it to change country names and passwords. Check out fairland's manual page for more information. * Start the server. For development, you want to run it with -d in a debugger, see doc/debugging. Do not use -d for a real game! * Log in as deity POGO with password peter. This guide assumes you use the included client `empire', but other clients should work as well. For help, try `info'. To change the deity password, use `change re <password>'. * Create countries with `exec newcap_script'. Your game is now up! Naturally, there's more to running a real game than that, but that's beyond the scope of this file.
