This is the basic Empire Client.
See files README, COPYING and CREDITS in the root of the source
tree for related information and legal notices. It is expected
that future projects/authors will amend these files as needed.
Empire is a multi-player, client/server Internet based war game.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License (in file
`COPYING'), or (at your option) any later version.
Note that this client is the same client that is shipped with the
server. The only difference is the Makefile is copied from the
"Makefile.standalone" for the standalone distributions, and
from the "Makefile.server" for the server distributions.
The client is distributed as part of the complete source tarball and
as a standalone client tarball. The instructions below apply to the
client tarball. If you got the complete source, as tarball or from
CVS, refer to ../../README instead.
If you are building this with the server, it is built automatically.
See file `INSTALL' for detailed compilation and installation
instructions. Quick guide for the impatient: run configure; make;
make install. The last step is optional; everything runs fine right
from the build tree.
If you are building this standalone, continue reading to see how
to build the client.
The client connects to the Changeling blitz by default. Use
environment variables EMPIREHOST and EMPIREPORT to connect to another
game (see manual page for details).
To make the program, edit ipglob.c and change empirehost[] to
point at the machine where the game is running (although this is
not necessary.)
Please report bugs to <wolfpack@wolfpackempire.com> or via SourceForge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/empserver (registration required).
Also, if you are going to use "gcc", you need to change the Makefile
line "CC=cc" to "CC=gcc".
For more information or help, try rec.games.empire on Usenet, or send
e-mail to <wolfpack@wolfpackempire.com> and we'll try to answer if we
can. Also check out our web site at "http://www.wolfpackempire.com".
To build for a Linux macihne, type "make linux".
Have fun!
To build for a HP/UX machine, type "make hpux".
To build for a DG/UX machine, type "make dgux".
To build for a Solaris machine, type "make solaris".
To build for a Windows machine, type "nmake nt".
(Note that the Windows port was built with MSVC 6.0)
For other machines, type "make".
You can change hosts on-the-fly by using environment variables -- see
the man page for details. But, for a short version, you can set the
EMPIREHOST and EMPIREPORT environment variables to the host and
port of the server you wish to connect to, and the client will
automatically use them instead of the built in ones.
Also note that pipes do not work on the Windows versions.
Wolfpack!
