Games::Irrlicht

INSTALL

For instructions on how to install Games::Irrlicht under Windows, please see README.win32.

DEPENDENCIES

You need to install the Irrlicht engine from http://irrlicht.sf.net. I created a directory /usr/local/lib/Irrlicht and copied there the precompiled libirrlicht.a, libjpeg.a and libz.a. I also copied the header files to /usr/include/Irrlicht.

* untar/ungzip the package (replace 0.02 with the version you got)

tar -xzf Games::Irrlicht-0.02.tar.gz

* Check the signature. Download my key from http://bloodgate.com/tels.asc or from my CPAN directory. Also install Module::Signature if you haven't alrady. Then do in the build directory (where you unwrapped stuff):

cpansign --verify

* if the signature verifies OK, proceed. Otherwise NOTIFY ME IMMIDIATELY. Do NOT INSTALL THE PACKAGE! Your system might get compromised!

* Build the make file:

perl Makefile.PL

* Then run the testsuite:

make test

If there are any test failures, please notify me. Thank you!

* If all tests pass, install as root:

su
[enter password]
make install
exit

Go to the example/ directory and run the example applications for fun. Enjoy!

Please send me test-reports, your experiences with this and your ideas - I love to hear about my work!
