Installing BloodsPilot

Dependencies

BloodsPilot depends on certain other software to compile and run. Notable are X, zlib and the Expat XML parser.

For example on Ubuntu Linux, you can install the most important dependencies using the command:

sudo apt-get install make gcc libc6-dev libexpat1-dev zlib1g-dev libx11-dev

The servers should not need libx11-dev.

The OpenGL/SDL client (which is not part of BloodsPilot Client 1.4.0) needs in addition:

sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev

Download the source archives. Use the tar tool to extract files and configure and make to build:

tar xvfz archive.tar.gz
cd archive
./configure --help
./configure
make
sudo make install

Currently the we do not provide any binaries for Windows.

An original XPilot client for Windows can be downloaded here.

XPilot NG has a newer client for Windows which can be downloaded using this link.
