## Cave Story for Solaris
|
|
|
|
This is a fork of [CSE2](https://github.com/gameblabla/CSE2) that implements a Solaris 2.6 compatible backend, and optimizes parts of the game to run at full speed on a Sun Ultra 1 workstation. As such, it contains only the `portable` branch, as the `accurate` branch is of zero use here.
|
|
|
|
## Preparing your system
|
|
|
|
This project has only been tested on Solaris 2.6 running on a Sun Ultra 1 Creator. We're using the built-in X server, and GNU utilities from tgcware.
|
|
|
|
- Ensure that GCC and its C++ components are installed and findable from your `PATH` variable.
|
|
- Ensure that your X server starts in 24-bit color mode. This can be accomplished by adding `-dev /dev/fb defdepth 24` to the end of the one uncommented line in `/usr/dt/config/Xservers` and restarting the X server.
|
|
- Ensure that audio can be used by your user. This can be tested by `cat`ing something to `/dev/audio`.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
While CSE2 normally uses CMake, this fork instead uses a Makefile for compiling on Solaris, due to the latest version of CMake available on the target being too old.
|
|
|
|
Compile the game by running `make`. On genuine hardware this will take considerable time.
|
|
|
|
After compilation is complete, move or copy the `CSE2` binary to `game_english`, and run it from there, making sure that the appropriate `libstdc++` is findable. If it's not automatically findable, you can point the environment variable `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to its path.
|
|
|
|
CSE2 requires a `Config.dat` file, which we cannot currently produce from inside the Solaris environment. If you do not need a custom `Config.dat` (and you probably don't), simply rename the included `Config.dat_default` to `Config.dat` and move it into `game_english`. If you need to change some settings, compile the `DoConfig` program on a modern PC and use it to create your config file. The need for this workaround is considered a bug and should be fixed (but it most likely won't be).
