Compiling DFHack

You don't need to compile DFHack unless you're developing plugins or working on the core.

If your version of git does not support the ``--recursive`` flag, you will need to omit it and run
``git submodule update --init`` after entering the dfhack directory.
If you just want to compile DFHack or work on it by contributing patches, it's quite
enough to clone from the read-only address instead::
git clone --recursive git://github.com/DFHack/dfhack.git
cd dfhack
If you want to get really involved with the development, create an account on
Github, make a clone there and then use that as your remote repository instead.

Linux
=====
On Linux, DFHack acts as a library that shadows parts of the SDL API using LD_PRELOAD.
Dependencies
============
------------
DFHack is meant to be installed into an existing DF folder, so get one ready.
For building, you need a 32-bit version of GCC. For example, to build DFHack on
a 64-bit distribution like Arch, you'll need the multilib development tools and libraries.
Alternatively, you might be able to use ``lxc`` to
`create a virtual 32-bit environment <http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139553.msg5435310#msg5435310>`_.

Fixing the libstdc++ version bug

The libstdc++ version bug

Mac OS X
========
DFHack functions similarly on OS X and Linux, and the majority of the
information above regarding the build process (cmake and make) applies here
as well.
* If you are building on 10.6, please read the subsection below titled "Snow Leopard Changes" FIRST.
* If you are building on 10.10+, read the "Yosemite Changes" subsection before building.
If you have issues building on OS X Yosemite (or above), try definining the
following environment variable::
1. Download and unpack a copy of the latest DF
2. Install Xcode from Mac App Store
3. Open Xcode, go to Preferences > Downloads, and install the Command Line Tools.

* ``brew install git``
* ``brew install cmake``
* ``brew install gcc45``

Option 2: Using MacPorts:
Using `MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/>`_::
* `Install MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/>`_
* Run ``sudo port install gcc45 +universal cmake +universal git-core +universal``
This will take some time—maybe hours, depending on your machine.

First, run set_df_path.vbs and point the dialog that pops up at your

Next, run one of the scripts with ``generate`` prefix. These create the MSVC solution file(s):
* ``all`` will create a solution with everything enabled (and the kitchen sink).
* ``gui`` will pop up the cmake gui and let you pick and choose what to build. This is probably what you want most of the time. Set the options you are interested in, then hit configure, then generate. More options can appear after the configure step.
* ``minimal`` will create a minimal solution with just the bare necessities - the main library and standard plugins.
* ``gui`` will pop up the cmake gui and let you pick and choose what to build.
This is probably what you want most of the time. Set the options you are interested
in, then hit configure, then generate. More options can appear after the configure step.
* ``minimal`` will create a minimal solution with just the bare necessities -
the main library and standard plugins.
Then you can either open the solution with MSVC or use one of the msbuild scripts:
* Scripts with ``build`` prefix will only build.
* Scripts with ``build`` prefix will only build DFHack.
* Scripts with ``install`` prefix will build DFHack and install it to the previously selected DF path.
* Scripts with ``package`` prefix will build and create a .zip package of DFHack.
When you open the solution in MSVC, make sure you never use the Debug builds. Those aren't
binary-compatible with DF. If you try to use a debug build with DF, you'll only get crashes.
So pick either Release or RelWithDebInfo build and build the INSTALL target.
The ``debug`` scripts actually do RelWithDebInfo builds.
For this reason the Windows "debug" scripts actually do RelWithDebInfo builds,
so pick either Release or RelWithDebInfo build and build the INSTALL target.
