# Lazarus #
The Lazarus project aims to preserve [Diablo II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_II) by reimplementing the game
engine in the Go programming language. Lazarus is a drop-in replacement for the original game executable; the user is
responsible for supplying the game assets (namely the MPQ files) from the official game media.

## Building ##
It is not currently possible to use `go get` to install all of the packages in the project in one step; some assembly is
required. Follow the instructions below to set up a build environment from a fresh install of your 64-bit operating
system of choice.
### Linux ###
Lazarus is primarily being developed on Fedora, but the required package names are also provided for Ubuntu.
1. Install the required packages (for [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) users):
```
# sudo dnf install golang gcc-c++ cmake make git SDL2-devel mesa-libGL-devel zlib-devel bzip2-devel
```
Install the required packages (for [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com/) users):
```
# sudo apt-get install golang g++ cmake make git libsdl2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
```
2. Build the [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) wrapper package:
```
$ go get github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/platform/imgui
```
Go will fetch the code, but Cgo will fail to link the [cimgui](https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui) wrapper;
we need to configure and build it:
```
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/platform/imgui/cimgui
$ cmake -DIMGUI_STATIC="yes" .
$ make
```
You should now have a `cimgui.a` statically linked library in the `cimgui` directory.
3. Build the [StormLib](http://zezula.net/en/mpq/stormlib.html) wrapper package:
```
$ go get github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/formats/mpq
```
Go will fetch the code, but Cgo will fail to link the StormLib wrapper;
we need to configure and build it:
```
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/formats/mpq/stormlib
$ cmake .
$ make
```
You should now have a `libstorm.a` statically linked library in the `stormlib` directory.
### Windows ###
Lazarus is only tested on Windows 10, but should in theory run on anything newer than Windows XP.
1. Download the latest 64-bit MSI installer for Go from the [official homepage](https://golang.org/dl/); install to the default directory.
2. Download and the latest 64-bit EXE installer for MSYS2 from the [official homepage](https://www.msys2.org/); install to the default directory.

3. Install the required packages (using the MSYS MinGW terminal):
2019-01-06 03:43:55 +00:00
```
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc cmake make git mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 zlib-devel libbz2-devel
```
4. Add `C:\msys64\usr\bin` and `C:\msys64\mingw64\bin` to your system's `PATH` environment variable.

5. Build the [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) wrapper package (using the system command prompt):
2019-01-06 03:43:55 +00:00
```
$ go get github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/platform/imgui
```
Go will fetch the code, but Cgo will fail to link the [cimgui](https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui) wrapper;
we need to configure and build it:
```
$ cd %GOPATH%/src/github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/platform/imgui/cimgui
$ cmake -DIMGUI_STATIC="yes" .
$ make
```
You should now have a `cimgui.a` statically linked library in the `cimgui` directory.

6. Build the [StormLib](http://zezula.net/en/mpq/stormlib.html) wrapper package (using the system command prompt):
2019-01-06 03:43:55 +00:00
```
$ go get github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/formats/mpq
```
Go will fetch the code, but Cgo will fail to link the StormLib wrapper;
we need to configure and build it:
```
$ cd %GOPATH%/src/github.com/FooSoft/lazarus/formats/mpq/stormlib
$ cmake .
$ make
```
You should now have a `libstorm.a` statically linked library in the `stormlib` directory.
