== Debian GNU/Linux ==

=== Debian Sarge ===
Orxonox does not run on the official version of Debian Sarge because libqt4 is missing. Maybe using a backport of QT4 from http://backports.org/ could solve this problem (this has not yet been tested).

=== Debian Etch ===
Installing Orxonox on Debian Etch 4.0 works fine. Installing on Debian Testing (Lenny) and Debian SID (aka Unstable Debian) should work too (this has not yet been tested). 

=== Installing the Libraries ===

{{{
wraith root # apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libqt4-dev libglut3-dev libglew-dev libopenal-dev libvorbis-dev libavformat-dev libcurl3-dev liblualib50-dev 
...
}}}

Users of the proprietary Nvidia driver need additional the nvidia opengl files:
{{{
wraith root # apt-get install nvidia-glx-dev
}}}
=== Installing Developer Tools ===

{{{
wraith root # apt-get install subversion automake1.9 g++
}}}

=== Getting the Source Code ===

Check out the source via anonymous subversion login. This will download the whole project to the directory orxonox-dir.
{{{
wraith user $ svn co http://svn.orxonox.net/orxonox/trunk orxonox-dir/trunk
wraith user $ svn co http://svn.orxonox.net/data/trunk orxonox-dir/data/trunk 
}}}
You won't be able to commit your own code (check in) with the anonymous subversion repository. You have to ask us for a username/password combination. If you already have an account, check it out like this:
{{{
wraith user $ svn co https://svn.orxonox.net/orxonox/trunk orxonox-dir/trunk
wraith user $ svn co https://svn.orxonox.net/data/trunk orxonox-dir/data/trunk
}}}
You will be asked for your username and password, that you got from us.


=== Compiling ===
Just change into the trunk directory, then execute configure and make....
{{{
wraith user $ cd ./orxonox/trunk/
wraith user $ ./autogen.sh
wraith user $ ./configure
...
wraith user $ make
}}}

=== Playing ===
{{{
wraith user $ cd ./orxonox/trunk/src
wraith user $ ./orxonox
}}}
Select the data file orxonox/data/trunk/data.oxd in the menu and play!

=== Profiling ===
If you want to profile Orxonox (measure its performance) you will probably want to view the statistics in a special program like kprof.
{{{
wraith root # apt-get install kprof
}}}
A word of warning: Orxonox runs much much slower with profiling enabled.
{{{
wraith user # cd ./orxonox/trunk/
wraith user # ./configure --enable-profile
...
wraith user # make
...
wraith user # cd src
wraith user # ./orxonox
}}}
Orxonox now runs very slowly and writes its profiling statistics to a file called gmon.out. Remember that _only_ the Orxonox functionalities you use while profiling will be profiled (since the profile log is written while the program is been executed). [[br]]
After you exit Orxonox, you can parse the output file and then open it in kprof:
{{{
wraith user # gprof -b ./orxonox > text.out
wraith user # kprof -f text.out
}}}
