vNET : Documentations : Installation sous Unix

vNET installation under Unix is really classical, but there are some dependancies, you can find the list below :

Dependancies

Don't worry, you should not have to install all those deps since most distributions comes with those libraries installed. The only things you probably don't have are Ogre and CEGUI.

Getting vNET

You must download download the last version. You should have the choice for each version to download

the source package to compile the whole thing
the rpm package to install it on redhat or mandrake
the deb package to install it on debian

If your are using Linux Gentoo you can also download an ebuild and insert it in your portage tree.

Compiling and installing

Ok so now, you must have our project, it's time to uncompress, untar, configure, compile or directly install according to your distribution. If you're using precompiled package, it depends on your distribution, please refer to their documentation to install. If you're compilaing from scratch, the methods is the following :

cyrille@localhost % tar xvjf vnet-1.0.tar.bz2
cyrille@localhost % cd vnet-1.0
cyrille@localhost % ./configure
[...]
