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is no automatism to build or update the games dependencies for those 2 platforms and the current dlls/dylibs are VERY outdated and thus also contain vulnerabilities, this page should document on where to obtain or how to build them, retaining API compatibility to darkplaces and also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
10 libcurl is used for downloading *.pk3 files from servers
13 Darkplaces loads `libcurl-4.dll` or `libcurl-3.dll`
16 * clone https://gitlab.com/incognico/build-libcurl-windows
17 * run `build.bat` in a VS2019 Development Shell
18 * rename the built dlls (x64 & x86) to `libcurl-4.dll`
21 Darkplaces loads `libcurl.4.dylib` or `libcurl.3.dylib` or `libcurl.2.dylib`
24 libjpeg-turbo is needed to display jpeg images/textures
27 Darkplaces loads `libjpeg.dll`
29 Obtainment instructions:
30 * download `libjpeg-turbo-VERSION-vc.exe` & `libjpeg-turbo-VERSION-vc64.exe` from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/
31 * extract the *.exe files and use `bin/jpeg62.dll`
32 * rename the dlls (x64 & x86) to `libjpeg.dll`
35 Darkplaces loads `libjpeg.62.dylib`
38 libpng is needed to display png images/textures
41 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`
43 Obtainment instructions:
44 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libpng
45 * use dll from `bin` folder
48 Darkplaces loads `libpng16.16.dylib` or `libpng15.15.dylib` or `libpng14.14.dylib` or `libpng12.0.dylib`
51 zlib is required to read *.pk3 files. Also it is a dependency of libpng and probably some other libraries.
54 Darkplaces loads: ifdef ZLIB_USES_WINAPI `zlibwapi.dll` or `zlib.dll` else `zlib1.dll`. We use `zlib1.dll`!
56 Obtainment instructions:
57 * download as MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-zlib
58 * use dll from `bin` folder
61 Darkplaces loads `libz.dylib`
64 Required for the Xolonium font
67 Darkplaces loads: `libfreetype-6.dll` or `freetype6.dll`
69 Obtainment instructions:
70 * Download x86 and x64 dlls from: https://github.com/ubawurinna/freetype-windows-binaries
73 Darkplaces loads: `libfreetype.6.dylib` or `libfreetype.dylib`
75 # libvorbis + libvorbisfile + libvorbisenc
76 libvorbis + libvorbisfile are used to play .ogg audio files while libvorbis + libvorbisenc is used for the audio in video capturing (cl_capturevideo)
79 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`
81 Obtainment instructions:
82 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libvorbis
83 * use dll from `bin` folder
86 Darkplaces loads `libvorbis.dylib` and `libvorbisfile.dylib`
89 libtheora is used for the video in cl_capturevideo
90 libtheoraenc/libtheoradec are not needed, they are the newer API; darkplaces uses the legacy pre 1.0 API (libtheora).
93 Darkplaces loads `libtheora-0.dll` or `theora-0.dll` or `theora.dll`
95 Obtainment instructions:
96 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libtheora
97 * use dll from `bin` folder
100 Darkplaces loads `libtheora.dylib`
103 libogg is used for the container in cl_capturevideo
106 Darkplaces loads `libogg-0.dll` or `libogg.dll` or `ogg.dll`
108 Obtainment instructions:
109 * download MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libogg
110 * use dll from `bin` folder
113 Darkplaces loads `libogg.dylib`
115 # libd0_blind_id-0 & libd0_rijndael-0
116 Internal project, see https://gitlab.com/xonotic/d0_blind_id
119 A dependency of libd0_blind_id-0
122 libd0_blind_id-0 loads `libgmp-10.dll`
124 Obtainment instructions:
125 * download as MSYS2 Package [1] in x86 and x64 versions: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-gmp
126 * use dll from `bin` folder
129 Is not loaded under Windows and crashes the game if it is and a map is loaded up.
130 Also it is not statically linked and thus requires libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll.
133 *Note:* Old and not used in Xonotic but also not disabled :) Adding this for the sake of completeness.
136 Darkplaces loads: `libavw.dll`
138 Source code: https://github.com/paulvortex/DpLibAVW
141 Darkplaces loads: `libavw.dylib`
