Maelstrom Installation
----------------------

Check out the README and README.Options files before you continue.


For Linux, it should just be a matter of becoming root and typing
'make install'

For other systems, you will need to look at the README.Options file,
and edit the Makefile to get the right 'FEATURES' line and the right
compiler and CFLAGS.

You need the XPM library, which is available (with binaries for some
systems) from dandelion.ceres.ca.gov in the /pub/Linux/games/Maelstrom
directory.  Linux comes with this library pre-installed.

Typing 'make install' will install Maelstrom in /usr/local/bin, and 
will put its data files in /usr/local/lib/Maelstrom
You can change these installation directories by editing the Makefile

If you run Maelstrom from this directory, set the environment variable
"MAELSTROM_LIB" to the full pathname of this directory.

To run Maelstrom, make sure /usr/local/bin is in your path, and type
"Maelstrom" at a prompt.


Linux user's note:  As with all svgalib programs, Maelstrom with SVGA
support needs to be set-uid root, or only root will be able to play.
SVGAlib games are set-uid at your own risk, even though I have done
everything I know to make Maelstrom as safe as possible.

Good luck!
