Download

The download for Rise of the Tribes is split in two fractions: the game data and the game executable (or source code). The data is distributed as a single ZIP file. The executables are in ZIP files (DOS, Windows) or in .tar.gz files (Linux). The sourcecode is in .tar.gz
Once you have completed the download, you should unpack these files to the same directory.
For more detailed instructions, see the readme file.

Linux

Download the .tar.gz file and unpack it in the same directory where you unpacked the game datafiles. You will need to have the Allegro shared library installed on your system. If you don't have it, you'll have to get Allegro from allegro.cc and install it. The binary was created and tested under SuSE Linux 8.0. If it doesn't work for you, you'll have to recompile the sources.

Source code

If you want to build the executable from sources, you'll need to have the GCC compiler as well as Allegro installed and working on your system. You will get several warnings right now when compiling the sources. These will be fixed eventually, for now just ignore them. See the readme file for further details on compiling the sources.
