Source Installation

Gccg should easily compile on any platform with SDL, so make sure that you have libraries, including headers:

SDL 1.2+, compiled against jpeg and png;
SDL_image;
SDL_net;
SDL_ttf;
SDL_mixer.

Create a gccg directory;

Download the Core Module to the gccg directory and unpack it;

You can now use the package manager script, named gccg_package, to install the modules you need: client, fonts and source

./gccg_package install client fonts source

Compile

make all

If everything went right you can finally use gccg_package to install the game modules

View the list available modules

./gccg_package status

Install game modules you wish to play

./gccg_package install <game>

where <game> may be lotr, metw, mtg or pokemon

Running the Game

Each game module has a startup script with the same name as the module, with capitalized first letter. You can launch the game using it.

i.e. for metw module

./Metw

Adding Card Images

Also card images can be installed using the gccg_package.

i.e. to install metw card images run

./gccg_package install metw-cards*

Keeping Gccg Up to Date

To update all installed packages, do:

./gccg_package update
