• Make
• SDL2 (or SDL 1.2, discouraged)
• SDL2_mixer (or SDL_Mixer 1.2, discouraged)
• Freetype
• Pixman
• libpng
• zlib
• boost
• liblcf

• Run ./configure CPPFLAGS="-DUNIX -DHAVE_WINE" LIBS=-llcf && make && make install

For other systems, replace -DUNIX for your platform, for example, -D_WIN32 if you are using Windows. See src/system.h file for details.

If you want to cross compile with a specific gcc toolchain, pass --host=whatever to configure.

For most games, you will need to have installed the RTP. To install RTP in UNIX you can use WINE. EasyRPG Player will detect the RTP path from the WINE registry automatically. Will work with original Japanese RTP filenames even when games are created with English RTP translations (Don Miguel, RPG Advocate) and vice-versa. Read rtp to learn how to install the RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 RTPs.

If you don't want to use WINE to check RTP installation you can remove the -DHAVE_WINE part. To set up RTP folders by hand, read rtp to do it.

• Do the autotools setup first
• Open the Terminal application
• Copy the following text and paste it in your terminal window and press the enter key, you will need to enter your password and press again the enter key:

sudo apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends libboost-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libpixman-1-dev libfreetype6-dev && cd ~/EasyRPG && git clone https://github.com/EasyRPG/Player.git && cd Player && ./autogen.sh && ./configure CPPFLAGS="-DUNIX -DHAVE_WINE" CXXFLAGS=-I$PWD/../liblcf/build/include LDFLAGS=-L$PWD/../liblcf/build/lib LIBS=-llcf && make

• Go to your Files application and browse into EasyRPG folder → Player folder → src folder. If there is a easyrpg-player file inside, your Player executable has been successfully built.
• Move the easyrpg-player file into a game folder (same place as RPG_RT.exe) and run it to play the game.

Note: for Trisquel, replace the following words in the text above: libboost-dev with libboost1.48-dev

Note: if you compiled liblcf with --enable-xml then replace LIBS=-llcf with LIBS="-llcf -lexpat"

Note: For Trisquel and Debian 7 will need SDL2 and SDL2_mixer packages from testing (jessie) or replace libsdl2-mixer-dev with libsdl-mixer1.2-dev (fallback to SDL 1.2).

• Do the autotools setup first
• Open the Terminal application
• Copy the following text and paste it in your terminal window and press the enter key, you will need to enter your password and press again the enter key:

sudo yum -y install boost-devel SDL2_mixer-devel pixman-devel freetype-devel libpng-devel && cd ~/EasyRPG && git clone https://github.com/EasyRPG/Player.git && cd Player && ./autogen.sh && ./configure CPPFLAGS="-DUNIX -DHAVE_WINE" CXXFLAGS=-I$PWD/../liblcf/build/include LDFLAGS=-L$PWD/../liblcf/build/lib LIBS=-lliblcf && make

• Go to your Files application and browse into EasyRPG folder → Player folder → src folder. If there is a easyrpg-player file inside, your Player setup is OK.
• Move the easyrpg-player file into a game folder (same place as RPG_RT.exe) and run it to play the game.

Note: if you compiled liblcf with --enable-xml then replace LIBS=-llcf with LIBS="-llcf -lexpat"

There is an AUR package available, you can use your favourite aur helper or download and use makepkg:

$ packer -S easyrpg-player-git

If you prefer a manual compilation, here is a screencast of the compilation procedure for liblcf and the player:
