The instructions below will guide you through downloading and setting up the fife engine as well as the fife-tutorials.

• Download the FIFE 0.3.4 win32 installer from sourceforge and run the installer
• Checkout the fife-tutorials trunk to the location <path-to-fife>/tutorials

• Execute the script <path-to-fife>/build/win32/update_project_files.bat
• Navigate to <path-to-fife>/build/win32/build_environments/visual_studio_# where # is the version of visual studio you are using
• Open the solution fife_engine.sln
• Go to the build configurations menu within visual studio and select either the Debug_static or Release_static configuration
• Build the solution and make sure no errors occurred
• Navigate to <path-to-fife>/tutorials/build/ and choose the directory based on which version of visual studio you are using
• Open the solution (.sln) file within the directory
• Set the build configuration within visual studio to either "Debug" or "Release" to correspond to how FIFE was built

#Linux Install

• Download the latest FIFE source code and extract it. Be sure to have all the build dependencies installed.
• Extract the source and change directory into the source dir. fife_0.3.4 for example.
• Next cd ext/guichan && ./configure && make && sudo make install && cd -. You have to have guichan installed in /usr/local for the cmake file to work properly. If you use scons ext you'll need to modify the CMakeLists.txt file with the proper paths.
• Type: sudo scons install-dev. Once that is complete you should have a good copy of the fife library in /usr/local/lib
• Clone this repository. git clone https://github.com/fifengine/cpp-tutorials.git
• cd cpp-tutorials/src/tutorial_1
• cmake .
• make
• Assuming that all went well go ahead and run the tutorial: ./Tutorial1
