INSTALL file for Freecell Solver
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Quick and Dirty Compilation
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Usually typing "./configure" followed by "make" and "make install" will
|
|
build and install "fc-solve" which is the Freecell Solver executable for you.
|
|
|
|
It will also build and install the board generation program, more
|
|
information about which can be found in the "board_gen" sub-directory of
|
|
this distribution.
|
|
|
|
Changing the Maximal number of Freecells or Stacks or Cards per Stack
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following parameters to the "configure" script which accept an argument
|
|
control the hard-coded parameters of the Freecell Solver executables:
|
|
|
|
"--enable-max-num-freecells=$NUM" - The maximal number of freecells
|
|
|
|
"--enable-max-num-stacks=$NUM" - The maximal number of stacks
|
|
|
|
"--enable-max-num-initial-cards-per-stack=$NUM" - The maximal number of initial
|
|
cards per stack.
|
|
|
|
Notice that it's very important to set the maximal number of initial cards
|
|
per stack, or else it's possible that a stack will eventually overflow.
|
|
|
|
"Compact" States
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
In Compact States, the contents of the card stacks are stored inside the
|
|
states, rather than in a central collection (where the states contain only
|
|
pointers). Despite its name, it actually consume more memory than Indirect
|
|
Stack States which is the default.
|
|
|
|
Compact states used to be faster than Indirect Stack States, but now it
|
|
seems indirect stack states is at least slightly faster even for games
|
|
whose stacks are not very long. If you still would wish to enable it,
|
|
run ./configure with the "--enable-states-type=compact" flag.
|
|
|
|
Installing under Win32
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Freecell Solver is distributed with a makefile suitable for use with
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++. To build it using it follow the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Copy "config.h.win32" to "config.h" and "prefix.h.win32" to "prefix.h";
|
|
In the directory Presets/ copy presetrc.win32 to presetrc.
|
|
|
|
2. Optionally, edit it to set its preferences
|
|
|
|
3. Type "nmake /f Makefile.win32".
|
|
|
|
If you have an IDE of some sort you can take the following steps to compile
|
|
Freecell Solver:
|
|
|
|
1. Open a project for Freecell Solver.
|
|
|
|
2. Add all the C files except "test_multi_parallel.c" to the project.
|
|
|
|
3. Copy the file config.h.win32 to config.h and prefix.h.win32 to prefix.h.
|
|
|
|
4. Build.
|
|
|
|
If you are using gcc or some other command-line compiler, you should
|
|
write the makefile based on the files "Makefile" or "Makefile.lite",
|
|
and then compile according to it.
