Installation guide

Prerequisites

1) CMake version at least 3.26.

2) GCC or Clang version at least 10.

3) To run on Linux the following libraries are required:

libxrandr-dev
libxcursor-dev
libudev-dev
libopenal-dev
libflac-dev
libvorbis-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev
libegl1-mesa-dev
libdrm-dev
libgbm-dev
libfreetype6-dev

Step 1

Download the source code as ZIP from here by presing the green button marked in the image below.

Step 2

Press Download ZIP button and then extract the content.

Step 3

Go inside the extracted folder (the folder name should be Radar-Contact-main)

Step 4

Open your OS terminal inside the extracted folder and type the following command: cmake -S . -B build. Then wait until the whole process is finished (it may take a while).

Step 5

After the previous step finished type the following command in terminal: cmake --build build -j6 (-j6 is the number of threads used to build the project - this is used to make the process faster).

Step 6

Install the build with this command: cmake --install build

Step 7

To run the game on Windows use start ./install_dir/bin/radar_contact.exe


To run the game on Linux / macOS use ./install_dir/bin/radar_contact

Possible errors on macOS

1. dyld[]: Library not loaded: @rpath/../Frameworks/freetype.framework/Versions/A/freetype

Fix: Run the following command inside radar-contact-main directory sudo cp -r ./build/_deps/sfml-src/extlibs/libs-osx/frameworks/ /library/frameworks.

This error is because of FLAC, freetype, ogg, OpenAL, vorbis, vorbisenc and vorbisfile frameworks missing, so this command will copy them to /library/frameworks.
