Linux library requirements
To compile the OHRRPGCE from Source on GNU/Linux, you need the following libraries: glibc libtermcap libX11, XPM, Xrandr, Xrender, SDL, SDL_mixer. libxml2 is also needed to compile the optional and unimportant xml2reload utility.
You may also want timidity for its instruments, usually freepats (see Linux Notes). Note: SDL_mixer does not support all timidity patchset file formats.
Debian GNU/Linux[edit]
Also applies to: Ubuntu
glibc and termcap should be installed by default (your mileage may vary). To get other libraries, use apt
apt-get install libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev timidity
32 bit builds on a 64 bit Debian/Ubuntu[edit]
You can now compile 64 bit builds of the OHRRPGCE with scons arch=64 (we default to 32 bit). But if you really want to compile 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit distro, continue reading...
Unfortunately the Debian multiarch implementation still seems to have some problems (as of Ubuntu 12). Various development packages are not coinstallable, meaning that installing the 32 bit development libraries will uninstall the native 64 bit versions [1] [2]. To install anyway, do
apt-get install --no-install-recommends libx11-dev:i386 libxpm-dev:i386 libxrandr-dev:i386 libxrender-dev:i386 libsdl1.2-dev:i386 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev:i386 libncurses5-dev:i386
Make sure to specify --no-install-recommends otherwise apt-get will ask to uninstall mountains of critical packages such as python! It should only tell you that it needs to uninstall around 30 lib*-dev packages! You will also need to install g++-multilib. You don't need to install a 32-bit timidity package, but you will want a patch set for timidity.
The more complicated alternative is to instead install the 32 bit packages in a chroot.
You might also need to install:
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8-multilib g++-4.8-multilib
With the version number adjusted to match your system's currently installed version of gcc and g++
Fedora Core 5[edit]
Also applies to: Redhat, XO
On fedora, use yum
yum install glibc-devel libtermcap-devel libX11-devel libXpm-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel SDL_mixer-devel
