WHAT TO DO TO INSTALL "MIRRORMAGIC-1.2b" ON YOUR SYSTEM
=======================================================

If you have a Linux system (Intel based, a.out, kernel 1.2.x), you
can use the precompiled binary.

If you have another Unix system, or an ELF system or just want to
compile the program by yourself, do the following:

Edit the file "Makefile" and set the following options:

XPM_INCLUDE_FILE	-	change this to the location where you
				have your XPM-Library include file.

				You must have the XPM-Library "libXpm"
				installed on your system to run this game.
				If you don't have it, look at your local
				FTP site with X11 archive to get it! :)

GFX_PATH		-	You can leave these values untouched
SND_PATH			if you use the default locations for
LEVEL_PATH			the graphics, sounds and other files.
SCORE_PATH			If you want to move some of them to other
NAMES_PATH			places in your directory tree, just change
				them accordingly. (You can use symlinks
				instead, of course.)

SOUNDS			-	If you never want to hear any sounds,
				set this to "-DNO_SOUNDS", but be warned:
				It's much less fun playing without sound! :)
				(The program detects by itself if it can
				play sounds or not, anyway.)

SCORE_ENTRIES		-	Set this to "-DONE_PER_NAME" if you want
				to allow only one entry per player in the
				score file for each level. This is useful
				if there are many players to prevent one
				single player to "flood" the Hall Of Fame
				of every level completely with his name...
				On single user systems, "-DMANY_PER_NAME"
				might be useful to have your name more
				than once in the list.

SYSTEM			-	If you have problems with the default
				settings, it might be useful to uncomment
				one of the defines for "SYSTEM" in the
				Makefile, which defines values like
				"-DSYSV" and something like that.

CC, INCL, LIBS		-	Set these ones to the appropriate values
				you usually use on your system to compile.


Now you can 'make clean' and 'make' and the game binary should be
compiled right out of the box. I have tested it with "-Wall" on my
system, so I hope that it compiles fine on other systems, too.

The program is known to compile and run on Linux (of course),
HP-UX, AIX, Net-BSD, SUN and IRIX.

Have fun!
