2.4.4.2 Packages

Once you have obtained the latest Crystal Space source code package (see section 1.5 Where to Get Crystal Space) and its supporting libraries (see NeXT Resources), unpack them into a convenient directory as shown below. A description of the directory hierarchy which is created when you unpack the source code archive is available, 2.1 Directory Hierarchy. A description of the files specific to the Apple/NeXT port is also available, 8.1.1 MacOS/X, MacOS/X Server 1.0, OpenStep, NextStep.

 
gnutar xfz CS-package-name.tgz

The JPEG, PNG, and ZLIB libraries must be installed within the `CS/libs' directory of Crystal Space. If you obtained the archives for these libraries at the same site from which you obtained the Crystal Space source code package then they will automatically unpack into the correct directory. If you obtained the packages elsewhere, then you must manually ensure that they are placed within `CS/libs/libjpeg', `CS/libs/libpng', and `CS/libs/zlib', respectively.

 
gnutar xfz libjpeg*.tgz
gnutar xfz libpng*.tgz
gnutar xfz zlib*.tgz

The standard library archive, `standard.zip' and the standard texture archive, `stdtex.zip' are included with the Crystal Space package within the `CS/data' directory. If these archives are missing from the distribution, then you need to obtain them via some mechanism. These files contain resources which are used by several Crystal Space demonstration programs. Do not unpack these files; Crystal Space uses them as-is.

You will also need to have at least one map file in order to use the Crystal Space demonstration program, WalkTest. Typically map files should be placed within the `CS/data' directory. As with other Crystal Space resources, map files are actually compressed archives which are used directly by the engine, thus you should not unpack these archives.

The most commonly used map file is `flarge' since it demonstrates many of the special features of the engine rather than focusing on merely one or two areas. This map is typically distributed as part of the Crystal Space package and can be found in the `CS/data/flarge' directory. You can download additional example map files from the `levels' subdirectory at the download site:

ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/crystal/

Be sure to place the map files into the `CS/data' directory.
