    1.2.1 - Getting and Unpacking

    QLAD is available under the BSD license at http://www.qlad.net. It is available in a .tar.gz format, usually as qlad-<version number>.tar.gz

    Download and unpack the distribution file. You may unpack it anywhere you like, but its recommended that you do it inside of the directory you installed half-life to:

    Download and Unpacking examples

    wget http://www.qlad.net/qlad-0.##.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf qlad-0.##.tar.gz




    This should create a directory called qlad-0.## (where 0.## is the version number that you have downloaded). After that, simply change to that directory, and run the supplied ./configure script:

    Configuring QLAD

    cd qlad-0.##
    ./configure




    You may need to specify the locations on your MySQL library, or tell QLAD to disable MySQL support by running 'configure --disable-mysql'. The configuration script will give you detailed error messages if something goes wrong. Once QLAD is configured to how you want, then you simply need to run 'make && make install' to compile and install it. If something goes wrong with the compilation, do not hesistate to e-mail the error.

    Compiling and installing

    make && make install




    The install script will automatically try and locate your half-life directory and install QLAD into it. It will ask you a few basic questions, such as a user and pasword to setup for yourself in QLAD. If it cannot find your half-life directory by itself, you may need to specify it. Simply follow the instructions in the install script.
