<h1>TORCS Requirements</h1>
|
|
<h2>Software</h2>
|
|
<h3>Introduction</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You need a working OpenGL/DRI driver, development tools and some additional libraries. Most often you
|
|
can go into your Linux distribution setup and simply click something like "development machine" and
|
|
all necessary tools will be installed. You need gcc, header files for OpenGL, GLUT, GLU, XFree86 and libc.
|
|
OpenGL driver setup is most often supported by the distribution, consult the documentation.
|
|
Below we will check if the basic requirements are fullfilled. If you have already compiled OpenGL
|
|
applications and you are sure your hardware is set up correct, <a href="./packages.html">skip</a>
|
|
the rest of this page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Checking OpenGL/DRI</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Start your XFree86 (if not already done), open a terminal and run as normal user (the $ means the
|
|
prompt of a normal user, # the prompt of root).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>$ glxinfo | grep direct</tt></p>
|
|
<p>The result should look like this:</p>
|
|
<p><tt>direct rendering: Yes</tt></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If that's not the case you have to check your OpenGL setup.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Checking GLUT</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For rpm based distributions, run the following command (we run a query over the whole package database):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><tt>$ rpm -qa | grep glut</tt></p>
|
|
<p>The result should look something like this (this depends on the package names):</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
mesaglut-3.4.2-42<br/>
|
|
mesaglut-devel-3.4.2-42<br/>
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the result lists nothing you have to install GLUT. Use the tool provided from your distribution. Make
|
|
sure that you also install glut.h. If just one package shows up, you can list the package content and search
|
|
for glut.h:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><tt>$ rpm -ql NAME | grep glut.h</tt></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
where NAME means in the above example mesaglut or mesaglut-devel, without version numbers. If
|
|
nothing shows up, glut.h is not installed, so search your distribution and install it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Checking Libpng</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For rpm based distributions, run the following command:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><tt>$ rpm -qa | grep png</tt></p>
|
|
<p>The result should look something like this (this depends on the package names):</p>
|
|
<p><tt>libpng-2.1.0.12-153</tt></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the result lists nothing you have to install libpng with header files (eg. png.h).<br/><br/>
