----------------------------------------------
 MTA:SA R1.0 - Dedicated Server v1.03
 
 for Linux (GCC 3.3)
----------------------------------------------

### ABOUT

This archive contains the dedicated server for MTA: Blue R1, compiled for
Linux.


### REQUIREMENTS

The dedicated server was built using a generic Linux system and is
dynamically linked against curses and the xerces-c 2.7 library.
GCC 3.3.6 was used for the compilation.

Curses was preferred above ncurses because of the (backwards) compatibility.
Both are pretty common libraries so you shouldn't have any problems with
these libraries.

However, the Apache Xerces-C XML library is less common. You will have to
make sure it is installed on your server before you can run the dedicated
server on it. Please read the INSTALLATION section for more information.


### INSTALLATION

Before installing the server, you need to be sure the Xerces-C library is
also installed.

1. If you already have the xerces-c 2.7 library installed, you can skip the
next step.

2. If you don't have the xerces-c 2.7 library installed, you can download a
binary (already compiled) or a source version of it from the following URL:

http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/

When building it from source, please make sure to follow the "Build
Instructions" (!).

3. Configure the mtaserver.conf file to suit your needs.

4. If you're going to use the "mapautodownload"-utility, make sure your maps/
directory is writable. Configure the config.xml so the "url"-entry points to
your own custom RSS feed.

(To get your own RSS feed, please register at our race website (see below).)

5. Your server is now installed! You can now run it by typing the following
command in your shell:

./mta_server
