** Sudoku Installation Notes (Unix/Minix)



As the root user, or with the appropriate permissions, type:



    $ make install



This will compile and install the sudoku program into /usr/bin,

install the manpage into /usr/man/man6, and the template file

into /usr/share/sudoku. It is necessary to edit the Makefile if

you want to install the program into a different location, or

on some systems, to set an alternative path for the man page.



Dependencies:

Sudoku depends on curses library. For Windows the win32 folder contains

the necessary source files.



On Linux, the courses library is needed.

Home page: http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.html

Currently it can be 'apt-get install'-ed as libncurses5 or

libncurses5-dev.



Other possible way of getting it is to install the CDK.

CDK stands for "Curses Development Kit", and CDK sits

on top of the curses library. This package contains the

header files and development libraries for the CDK library.

(Home page: http://invisible-island.net/cdk/)



Under Minix it is recommended that /etc/termcap be edited to

add 'bell' capability (see termcap(5)). This can be done by

adding a record for 'bl' in the minix console entry:



    mx|minix|minix console:\

        :am:xn:bs:\

        :co#80:li#25:\

        :bl=^G:\                       <<<< ADD THIS

        :is=\E[0m:\

        :cd=\E[0J:cl=\E[H\E[0J:\

    [etc...]



** Sudoku Installation Notes (Windows)



The source distribution provides Microsoft Visual Studio (v6) project

files, along with a simple NMAKE makefile suitable for the Microsoft

compilers. The distribution does not include makefiles for other

compilers (e.g. Borland, Open Watcom, etc...), but you should have no

difficulty in using these compilers.



The Microsoft Visual Studio files are contained in the VC6 subdirectory,

and the workspace file is VC6\sudoku.dsw. Open the workspace, and compile

the project. There is an updated workspace in the VC2012 directory, and

another makefile in MinGW folder for compiling with MinGW.



Alternatively, from the command line, enter:



    > nmake /f Makefile.msc



to build the program.



Note that there is no install script for the Windows distribution, and

the program is configured to search for the template file, at runtime,

in the current working directory of the process.
