1 darkplaces/Xonotic on Linux uses system libraries. For Windows and macOS external dlls and dylibs are needed. Those reside in xonotic/misc/buildfiles
3 Because at the time of writing there is no automatism to build or update the games dependencies for those 2 platforms and the current dlls/dylibs are VERY outdated and thus also contain vulnerabilities, this page should document on where to obtain or how to build them, retaining API compatibility to darkplaces and also older OS platform versions like Windows XP.
5 For Windows, all libraries can/should be obtained from https://packages.msys2.org/ [1] with the exception of an official DLL release from the upstream being available (this is the case for jpeg-turbo and freetype) or if it has to be compiled on under Windows for some reason (eg. libcurl for Schannel (Windows crypto for HTTPS) support).
7 A handy tool to check dll deps on Windows is https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies
12 libcurl is used for downloading *.pk3 files from servers
15 Darkplaces loads `libcurl-4.dll` or `libcurl-3.dll`
18 * clone https://gitlab.com/incognico/build-libcurl-windows
19 * run `build.bat` in a VS2019 Development Shell
20 * rename the built dlls (x64 & x86) to `libcurl-4.dll`
23 Darkplaces loads `libcurl.4.dylib` or `libcurl.3.dylib` or `libcurl.2.dylib`
26 libjpeg-turbo is needed to display jpeg images/textures
29 Darkplaces loads `libjpeg.dll`
31 Obtainment instructions:
32 * download `libjpeg-turbo-VERSION-vc.exe` & `libjpeg-turbo-VERSION-vc64.exe` from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/
33 * extract the *.exe files and use `bin/jpeg62.dll`
34 * rename the dlls (x64 & x86) to `libjpeg.dll`
37 Darkplaces loads `libjpeg.62.dylib`
40 libpng is needed to display png images/textures
43 Darkplaces loads `libpng16.dll` or `libpng16-16.dll` or `libpng15-15.dll` or `libpng15.dll` or `libpng14-14.dll` or `libpng14.dll` or `libpng12.dll`
45 Obtainment instructions:
46 * be sure to use a 1.16.X release
47 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libpng
48 * use dll from `bin` folder
51 Darkplaces loads `libpng16.16.dylib` or `libpng15.15.dylib` or `libpng14.14.dylib` or `libpng12.0.dylib`
54 zlib is required to read *.pk3 files. Also it is a dependency of libpng and probably some other libraries.
57 Darkplaces loads: ifdef ZLIB_USES_WINAPI `zlibwapi.dll` or `zlib.dll` else `zlib1.dll`. We use `zlib1.dll`!
59 Obtainment instructions:
60 * download as MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-zlib
61 * use dll from `bin` folder
64 Darkplaces loads `libz.dylib`
67 Required for the Xolonium font
70 Darkplaces loads: `libfreetype-6.dll` or `freetype6.dll`
72 Obtainment instructions:
73 * Download x86 and x64 dlls from: https://github.com/ubawurinna/freetype-windows-binaries
76 Darkplaces loads: `libfreetype.6.dylib` or `libfreetype.dylib`
78 # libvorbis + libvorbisfile + libvorbisenc
79 libvorbis + libvorbisfile are used to play .ogg audio files while libvorbis + libvorbisenc is used for the audio in video capturing (cl_capturevideo)
82 Darkplaces loads `libvorbis-0.dll` or `libvorbis.dll` or `vorbis.dll` and `libvorbisfile-3.dll` or `libvorbisfile.dll` or `vorbisfile.dll` and `libvorbisenc-2.dll` or `vorbisenc-2.dll` or `vorbisenc.dll`
84 Obtainment instructions:
85 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libvorbis
86 * use dll from `bin` folder
89 Darkplaces loads `libvorbis.dylib` and `libvorbisfile.dylib`
92 libtheora is used for the video in cl_capturevideo
93 libtheoraenc/libtheoradec are not needed, they are the newer API; darkplaces uses the legacy pre 1.0 API (libtheora).
96 Darkplaces loads `libtheora-0.dll` or `theora-0.dll` or `theora.dll`
98 Obtainment instructions:
99 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libtheora
100 * use dll from `bin` folder
103 Darkplaces loads `libtheora.dylib`
106 libogg is used for the container in cl_capturevideo
109 Darkplaces loads `libogg-0.dll` or `libogg.dll` or `ogg.dll`
111 Obtainment instructions:
112 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libogg
113 * use dll from `bin` folder
116 Darkplaces loads `libogg.dylib`
118 # libd0_blind_id-0 & libd0_rijndael-0
119 Internal project, see https://gitlab.com/xonotic/d0_blind_id
122 A dependency of libd0_blind_id-0
125 libd0_blind_id-0 loads `libgmp-10.dll`
127 Obtainment instructions:
128 * download as MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-gmp
129 * use dll from `bin` folder
132 Is not loaded under Windows and crashes the game if it is and a map is loaded up.
133 Also it is not statically linked and thus requires libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll.
136 *Note:* Old and not used in Xonotic but also not disabled :) Adding this for the sake of completeness.
139 Darkplaces loads: `libavw.dll`
141 Source code: https://github.com/paulvortex/DpLibAVW
144 Darkplaces loads: `libavw.dylib`
