Building Spring

Obtaining the Source

Current (0.81.1.3)

(For playing Spring online) Source .tar.lzma (aka 7z)

Source .tar.gz

Backups in case the above doesn't work:

Source .tar.lzma (aka 7z)

Source .tar.gz

This code is the same as that used to build the last public release. See Building spring for build instructions.

Development Sources from Git

(Bleeding-edge, unstable code for Development and Testing)

Spring project page at github (status page)

Git clone URL for the master repo: git://github.com/spring/spring.git

For serious developers. This will also allow you to make a patch out of the changes you make to the code, and send it to one of the developers with repository access.

Assuming the GIT-commandline client is installed, you can clone the repository with

git clone git://github.com/spring/spring.git

and update it with

git pull

If github is unavailable or slow, there is a mirror: git://springrts.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/springrts/springrts

There's a branch that's for MacOS development. You can find it at git://github.com/yokosou/spring/spring.git.
