Building with docker

This is the simplest way to build this project from sources and produces a binary that supposed to be portable across different Linux distributions

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bacher09/darkplaces-rcon.git
cd darkplaces-rcon
mkdir output
docker build --output=./output
strip ./output/drcon # optional, strip binary from debug symbols

Result binary would be in ./output directory.

Building manually

First you need to install these tools:

• GHC >= 8.2 (recommended GHC is 9.8)
• cabal-install — haskell package manager
• C compiler — required for compiling some dependent packages as well as proper header files (e.g. zlib-dev, ncurses-dev).

As an option, you can install ghcup which can be used to install GHC and cabal:

ghcup install ghc 9.8
ghcup install cabal

You can also use ghcup tui if you prefer text ui.

Now you can compile package:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bacher09/darkplaces-rcon.git
cd darkplaces-rcon
mkdir output
cabal install darkplaces-rcon-util --installdir=./output

Afterward, output directory should have a symlink to the compiled binary.

Now you can check tool manual.
