Compiling Uplink

This guide is intended to get you up and running with the Uplink Dev CD as quickly as possible. We will be assuming you have some knowledge at least of compilers, C++ etc.

1. Copy data to Hard Disk

You need to copy all the neccesary directories onto your hard disk. The directories you will need are:

/contrib (all external libraries used by Uplink)

/lib (all our own internal libraries used by Uplink)

/uplink (the main source tree)

Optionally, for building the installer you will need:

/Installer (installer for windows and data files for windows and linux)

/loki (installer for linux)

2. Chose compiler
