FreeCiv 1.5.1 ported to OS/2
Introduction
This archive contains Freeciv version 1.5.1, a free Civilization clone for
unix and X. This version allows multiplayer games and - not yet :) - a
single player mode (against computer-players).
Installation
Put the executables civclient.exe and civserver.exe somewhere (e. g.
%X11ROOT%\XFree86\bin\FreeCiv), and copy the subdirectory data (e. g.
%X11ROOT%\XFree86\bin\FreeCiv\data).
You can alternatively set the FREECIV_DATADIR environment variable (e. g.
SET FREECIV_DATADIR=%X11ROOT%/XFree86/bin/FreeCiv/data) to make FreeCiv find
its files.
Changes
It was merely a simple recompile, I only had to turn on the ICANON terminal
attribute for the server to make select() work on stdin.
* EMX suffers (well, not really :) from missing lrand48()/srand48()
(like Linux)
* just run xmkmf and xmake and everything should build fine; alternatively
you can run build.cmd
Requirements
* XFree86 3.3.1
* EMX 0.9c fix 4
* HPFS
* Xpm.dll from Holger Veit's XFree86/OS2 Available Ported Software page

best a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe and
not make messes in the house." -- from the notebooks of Lazarus Long
