3To build Brutal Chess on Linux, you will need recent version of SDL, SDL_Image,
4and FreeType. SDL 1.2.7 and FreeType 2.1.9 are known to work. The first thing
5to do is run ./configure. This should autogenerate a Makefile if you have all
6the necassary dependencies installed. If this failed for some reason look at
7the output and install any missing libraries. This can sometimes be difficult
8to figure out so if you have problems please provide us with feedback so that
9we can provide more complete documentation. After you have a Makefile simply
10type make and that will build the binary in the src directory.  Finally you can
11run 'make install' as root user to install Brutal Chess for all users on the
12system. You can delete the build directory after install if you choose to do so.

14Note to Debian Users:
15Make sure that you have development versions of Xmu and Xi libraries installed
16or the autogeneration of the Makefile will fail when trying to verify that you
17have SDL installed. On Ubuntu the needed packages are libxmu-dev and libxi-dev.

20Windows:
21
22To build Brutal Chess on Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 is
23recommended. Building under other compilers may be possible, but hasn't been
24tested. In addition, the FreeType, SDL, and SDL_Image  development libraries
25must be installed. Open brutalchess.sln and build Brutal Chess to make the
26executable.
