2.3 External Libraries

Crystal Space relies upon several external, and publicly available development libraries. These libraries are:

Many computer systems come with these libraries pre-installed. If the libraries are not already available on your system, then see the following sections for information about how to obtain them.

Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and DOS users can download a single package which contains all headers, pre-built library files, and dynamic link libraries in pre-compiled form from the following location on the Crystal Space server:

ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/crystal/support/win32/msvc_libs_0.97dev002.zip

Microsoft Visual C++ 7 and DOS users can download a single package which contains all headers, pre-built library files, and dynamic link libraries in pre-compiled form from the following location on the Crystal Space server:

ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/crystal/support/win32/msvc7/msvc7_libs_0.97dev002.zip

zlib

Crystal Space relies upon the zlib library for reading ZIP files. You can download zlib from:

http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

After downloading you can either install the package normally (i.e. `make install') or unpack it into the directory `CS/libs/zlib*'. In general, if you have permission to do so, it is best to install the library.

libpng

Crystal Space relies upon the libpng library for reading PNG graphic files. You can download libpng from:

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

After downloading you can either install the package normally (i.e. `make -f scripts/makefile.std install') or unpack it into the directory `CS/libs/libpng*'. In general, if you have permission to do so, it is best to install the library.

libjpeg

Crystal Space relies upon the libjpeg library for reading JPEG graphic files. You can download libjpeg from:

http://www.ijg.org/files/

After downloading you can either install the package normally (i.e. `make install') or unpack it into the directory `CS/libs/jpeg*'. In general, if you have permission to do so, it is best to install the library.

libmng

Crystal Space can optionally utilize the libmng library for reading MNG/JNG graphic files. You can download libmng from:

http://www.libmng.com/downloadpublic.html
