Blaster depends on libSDL 1.2
and libSDL_Mixer.
At least the SDL- Library should be preinstalled on every common Linux Distribution.
If one of these libraries is missing, please install it first, otherwise you won't be able to compile "Blaster".
Important: You also need the program sdl-config , which is distributed with the SDL-Devel package. Install it through your
package manager or get it here.
Installation
The program is delivered in source code. To install it, the following steps are required:
1. Unzip the archive to an arbitrary directory, e.g. using a programm like "Ark" or using the shell.
2. Open a Shell window and change to the directory, to which you have unzipped the game during step 1.
3. Run make
4. After compiling succesfully, it is possible to start the game using the command ./blaster
5. If you want to install the game systemwide, obtain Root privileges with su followed by the Root password, then type make install
6. Start "Blaster" with the command blaster
The executable is placed in /usr/local/bin
Should the installation fail, you probably lack one of the libraries or they are not in your PATH. Also check if sdl-config is installed on your machine
