Software Requirements
SVN Client
You need a Subversion Client, there are a few out there but the majority works with Tortoise SVN, go to the Site and download the latest release. You may need to restart your machine before Tortoise SVN really works.
Delphi Compiler
Following Delphi Compiler are tested: Delphi 6, Delphi 7, Delphi 2005, Delphi 2006, Turbo Explorer Edition and Delphi 2007. Every other Version is untested and may require a lot of work to get it running (Kylix).
SourceForge Account
Not a real Software requirement, you need an SourceForge Account to submit Patches.
Getting the Source
First, it is a good idea to create a basic folder structure. I am using f:\development\deled_ce\. Create such a folder first. Then right-click on the Folder and choose the Item SVN Checkout.... We are using following SVN Repository: https://deled.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/deled/trunk
And that's it, click OK and let SVN download the Codebase for you.
Running the Source
Before we run the Source we need to have a proper DeleD CE Version installed and at least have it executed once. Go to your DeleD CE installation directory and copy the deled.ini to the Executable directory in the Codebase. For example: f:\development\deled_ce\Executable\. Without this File DeleD will complain that Texture files are missing.
Open up the deled.dpr Project File. And compile & run it (F9). If you have any errors on screen you need to re-read the part above part or consult the community in our Development Forums
