181. Directory Structure Overview
19==========================================================================
20
21 You will find some directories after uncompressing the archive of the
22 SDK. These are:
23
24 \bin The compiled library Irrlicht.DLL and some compiled demo
25 and example applications, just start them to see the
26 Irrlicht Engine in action. Windows only.
27 \doc Documentation of the Irrlicht Engine.
28 \examples Examples and tutorials showing how to use the engine with
29 C++.
30 \include Header files to include when programming with the engine.
31 \lib Libs to link with your programs when using the engine.
32 \media Graphics and sound resources for the demo applications and
33 examples.
34 \source The source code of the Irrlicht Engine. This code is
35 not needed to develop applications with the engine,
36 but it is included to enable recompilation and
37 debugging, if necessary.
38 \tools Useful tools (with sourcecode) for the engine.
39

41
42==========================================================================
432. How to start
44==========================================================================
45
46 To see the engine in action in Windows, just go to the \bin\Win32-VisualStudio
47 directory, and start some applications. There should also be an
48 application named Demo.exe which should show the most
49 interesting features of Irrlicht.
50
51 To start developing own applications and games with the engine take
52 a look at the 01.HelloWorld example in the \examples directory.
53 There is also a .html file with a tutorial which should be
54 easily comprehensible.
55
56 The Irrlicht Engine is a static lib under linux. A precompiled version can be
57 generated from the sources using the Makefile in source/Irrlicht. Run 'make' in
58 that subfolder. After this you should be able to 'make' all
59 example applications in /examples by calling the buildAllExamples script. You
60 can run the examples then from the bin folder.
61
62 It is also possible to use Irrlicht as shared object
63 (libIrrlicht.so.versionNumber). Use the proper makefile target for this by
64 running 'make sharedlib' in the source folder. See the Makefile for details.
65
66 For OSX you can find an XCode project file in source/Irrlicht/MacOSX. This will
67 build the libIrrlicht.a library necessary to create the apps.
68
69==========================================================================
703. Requirements
71==========================================================================
72
73 You can use one of the following compilers/IDEs to develop applications
74 with Irrlicht or recompile the engine. However, other compilers/IDEs may
75 work as well, we simply didn't test them.
76
77 * gcc 4.x
78 * Visual Studio 2008(9.0)-2012(11.0)
79 * Code::Blocks (& gcc or visual studio toolkit)
80
81 If you ever want to (re)compile the engine yourself (which means you don't
82 want to use the precompiled version) you need the following:
83
84 * Windows:
85 * Needed: PlatformSDK (which usually comes with all IDEs, download
86 it separately for MSVC Express 2005)
87 * Optional: DirectX SDK, for D3D9 support
88 * Optional: DirectX SDK prior to May 2006, for D3D8 support
89
90 * Linux:
91 * Needed: XServer with include files
92 * Optional: OpenGL headers and libraries (libGL.so) for OpenGL support
93 GLX +
94 XF86VidMode [package x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev] or XRandr
95 (X11 support libraries, the latter two for fullscreen mode)
96
97 * OSX:
98 * Needed: XCode and Cocoa framework
99 * Needed: OpenGL headers and libraries
100

1024. Release Notes
103==========================================================================
104
105 Informations about changes in this new version of the engine can be
106 found in changes.txt.
107
108 Please note that the textures, 3D models and levels are copyright
109 by their authors and not covered by the Irrlicht engine license.
110
111==========================================================================
1125. License
113==========================================================================
114
115 The license of the Irrlicht Engine is based on the zlib/libpng license.
116 Even though this license does not require you to mention that you are
117 using the Irrlicht Engine in your product, an acknowledgement
118 would be highly appreciated.
119
120 Please note that the Irrlicht Engine is based in part on the work of
121 the Independent JPEG Group, the zlib, and libpng. This means that if you use
122 the Irrlicht Engine in your product, you must acknowledge somewhere
123 in your documentation that you've used the IJG code and libpng. It would
124 also be nice to mention that you use the Irrlicht Engine and the zlib.
125 See the README files in the jpeglib and the zlib for
126 further informations.
