Title: How to build Barony Game
Post by: Borley on June 13, 2021, 03:05:15 pm

I have finally gotten around to building Barony from source. No changes need to be made as it builds and runs just fine on Power. However, the instructions are a little incomplete, so I thought I would share here for the other 3 people on Earth who play this and also use PowerPC.

Adapted from their resources (https://github.com/TurningWheel/Barony/):

Code: [Select]

apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libpng-dev libz-dev libphysfs-dev rapidjson-dev

git clone https://github.com/TurningWheel/Barony.git

mkdir build && cd build
The OpenAL bit is important, otherwise it will have no sound.

Code: [Select]

cmake .. -DOPENAL_ENABLED=ON

cd ../

make -j 4
Should create barony: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.10.0, BuildID[sha1]=3923290b782f5cac6359a315534a6b79471522ee, not stripped

Next, pull in the game resources:

Code: [Select]

wget https://github.com/TurningWheel/Barony/releases/download/V3.3.7-dev/tmp-master-assets.zip

unzip tmp-master-assets.zip
From your copy of Barony, the following asset directories will need to be copied into the same directory as the barony executable; books, images, items, maps, models, music, sound.

Code: [Select]

./barony to play

Very much. I only go out of my way to build from source is a game is particularly interesting.

If you're trying to run the current release of Barony, there is a breaking change in SDL image library beyond 2.0.9.

You will need to grab an older version of libSDL2-2.0.so.0 , libSDL2_ttf-2.0.so.0 and libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0

and launch with: LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD /path/to/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 /path/to/libSDL2_ttf-2.0.so.0 /path/to/libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0" /path/to/barony

Thank you so much for bringing this little gem to our attention.  This is awesome.  Could you do "Delver" next?   :D

I would first need to buy a copy for the assets. Just a quick pass through my library also reminds me I have Eldritch which is in the same genre. Maybe I'd do that one first.
