====== Crossfire on Solaris ======

===== Installation =====
You can choose to install Crossfire from either the packages available at: [[http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/|.packages.]] - or by downloading the source which is available on the SourceForge page.






==== Server ====
In the binary, there were some minor compilation problems which were "hacked" to a working state. Further notes are on the downloads page.

=== Binary ===
First off, we need to download the server binary, available [[http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/CFserver-sparc.pkg.tgz|here]], then as the super-user(root), install it. This binary contains the server, the archetypes and the maps.

The commands are as follows:

  # wget http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/CFserver-sparc.pkg.tgz
  # su
  # gtar -zxvf CFserver-sparc.pkg.tgz (if you do not have gtar, do: "gunzip CFserver-sparc.pkg.tgz" followed by "tar -xvf CFserver-sparc.pkg.tar".)
  # pkgadd -d CFserver-sparc.pkg

=== Source ===
For compilation instructions, you can follow the [[crossfire_compile_guide|Crossfire Compile Guide]].



==== Client ====
At this point in time, the only clients available are the original X11 client and the GTK1 client. Further notes are at the [[http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/|.packages.]] page.

=== Binary ===
We must first acquire the client binary from [[http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/CFclients-sparc.pkg|here]], then as the super-user(root), install it. The commands are as follows:

  # wget http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/CFclients-sparc.pkg
  # su
  # pkgadd -d CFclients-sparc.pkg

Once these commands are complete, the client is ready to run.

=== Source ===
To compile from source, you can follow the [[crossfire_client_compile_guide|Crossfire Client Compile Guide]].

===== Running =====

==== Server ====
Once the server is installed, it may be started by running this, as root:
  # /usr/games/crossfire/bin/crossfire

Or, to run the server loop:
  # /usr/games/crossfire/bin/crossloop

==== Client ====
Now that the client is installed, we can run it by issuing either of the commands:

For the classic X11 client,

  # cfclient

For the GTKv1 client,

  # gcfclient
