-By default, the configure script will check your system for the availability | |
-of networking functions (specifically, the socket and select function calls). | |
-If these are found, the default behaviour is to compile dopewars with support | |
-for running as a server, and/or to connect to existing servers over a TCP/IP | |
-network. (Without networking, dopewars will only be useable in single-player | |
-mode.) This test can be overridden by specifying the --enable-networking or | |
---disable-networking options to the configure script. | |
+Other options to ./configure include:- | |
+ | |
+--enable-networking: | |
+ Compile dopewars with support for running as a server, and/or to | |
+connect to existing servers over a TCP/IP network. (Without networking, | |
+dopewars will only be useable in single-player mode.) If this option is not | |
+specified, the configure script will enable networking only if it believes | |
+your system has the necessary support functions (select and socket). You can | |
+also explicitly disable networking with --enable-networking=no or | |
+--disable-networking | |
+ | |
+--enable-gui-client: | |
+ Compile a graphical dopewars client, using GTK+ on Unix systems and | |
+the standard libaries under Windows. If unspecified, this is enabled only | |
+if your system has the necessary libraries (e.g. GTK+) installed. | |
+ | |
+--enable-curses-client: | |
+ Compile a text-mode client, using ncurses or similar on Unix systems | |
+and the standard libraries under Windows. If unspecified, this is enabled only | |
+if you have ncurses (or similar) installed. | |
+ | |
+--enable-gui-server: | |
+ Use a (very basic) graphical interface to the dopewars server. If not | |
+specified, this is enabled under Windows and disabled under Unix (where a | |
+simple text-mode server is used instead). | |
