Thanks for downloading Block Attack - Rise Of the Blocks 1.1.2 for Linux

The game is precompiled in the Game folder. It can be runned be double clicking the "starter" file. If you want to run it from an alternative location, you must make a script that changes to the Game dictory, before running it. You can then create a shortcut to that file.

The game is compiled under Ubuntu 5.10, there might be problems on some distros. If you have problems you should recompile the game from source

To compile the game, you must be in folder with the "Makefile" file and run "make -f block.make" this will recompile the parts of the program that you made changes to or the whole program if "Game/blockattack" was deleted.

By typing "make" the game will be recompiled even if files havn't been changed. This is recommended if you use an older version of the chared C++ libary (The precompiled files uses a new version, that is used by newer versions of Ubuntu and Mandriva)

You can use "make install" as root to install the game to the harddisk. You can use "make remove" as root to remove the game again. You can change paths in the first lines in the "Makefile". If you install the game and change the paths when make remove will fail.

After a "make install" as root, the game can be runned by typing "blockattack"
