Installation

This page explains installation process for source achive, binaries archive and package. Installation for Windows see here.
  • Source archive with plain Xlib support:
    • Unpack archive with 'gunzip -c xwelltris... | tar xvf -'
    • Go to xwelltris-version directory
    • ./configure
    • make
    • make install - do it under root user
    Default installtion path is /usr/{bin,share/xwelltris}.
    If you want to change it, you need to do the following:
    • ./configure --prefix=/my_directory
    • make
    • make install
    In this case installation path will be /my_directory/{bin,share/xwelltris}.
  • Source archive with SDL support (can play fullscreen). Note that you need to have SDL libraries v1.2 installed:
    • Unpack archive with 'gunzip -c xwelltris... | tar xvf -'
    • Go to xwelltris-version directory
    • ./configure --with-sdl
    • make
    • make install - do it under root user
    Default installtion path is /usr/{bin,share/xwelltris}.
    If you want to change it, you need to do the following:
    • ./configure --prefix=/my_directory
    • make
    • make install
    In this case installation path will be /my_directory/{bin,share/xwelltris}.
  • Binary TAR archive:
  • Just simply unpack the binary archive to / directory.
    • cd /
    • gunzip /where_archive/xwelltris... | tar xvf -
    All files go to /usr/bin and /usr/share/xwelltris.
  • Binary RPM package:
    • rpm -ivh xwelltris...rpm
    That's all. Very simple.

  • Simple run
    • just type 'xwelltris' and you are in the game.
    • 'xwelltris -full' - for full screen mode. Note that this option works only with SDL support.
  • Run on other X display
    • 'xwelltris -d DISPLAY' will run the game on X display named DISPLAY.

Windows Installation and play

  • Run 'xwellsetup.exe' and choose directory to install, then installer unpacks all files to this directory.
  • Run 'xwelltris.exe' from this directory if you want to play xwelltris in window.
  • Run 'xwelltris_full.exe' from this directory if you want to play full screen version of xwelltris.
  • Installer also creates xwelltris group in start up menu. You can find internet link to our site here and uninstall feature.
