CVS

If you are feeling brave and want to compile the latest version from the repository you can get the code and data by running the commands:

When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. Then to checkout the files:

This will print out lots of things but when it is done and has returned a prompt you should have a folder called dangerdeep. To update the checkout simply make sure you are in the dangerdeep folder and run:

We use the build system scons, so to compile a debug version try the command:

Explanation of the options:

• debug=1 Makes the build debug (valid values are 0-3)
• usex86sse=-1 Disables use of any SSE instructions
• datadir=/path/to/cvs/dangerdeep/data Set this to the path of were you did your CVS checkout otherwise you may encounter issues of the game using either old or non-existent data files and then crashing
