Source Code Checkout
--------------------

If you don't already have the source code downloaded (in the form of a .zip or
.tbz2 file), you can obtain the latest source code from Git. MinGW users can
obtain Git by installing msysgit (described in the MinGW section). Linux users
can just install the 'git' or 'git-core' package with whatever package manager
they use. Note that there is another package called 'git' going around which
stands for 'GNU interactive tools'. This is not what you want.
Once you have Git installed, you just need to do:
    git clone git://crawl-ref.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/crawl-ref/crawl-ref
And then to get the contributing libraries, enter the newly cloned repository
via 'cd crawl-ref' and type:
    git submodule update --init
This should get you all you need to build Crawl from source.

Stone Soup 0.3 includes Lua 5.1.2 in its source tree. Crawl uses Lua for dungeon

Stone Soup 0.6 includes Lua 5.1.4 in its source tree. Crawl uses Lua for dungeon

* If you intend to build a graphical (tiled) build of Crawl, you will need to
  upgrade the version of GNU Make included with MinGW. FreeType's build system
  requires a minimum of GNU Make v3.80. You can obtain this from here, under the
  GNU Make category:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
  To install it, simply extract it with an unarchiver (such as WinRAR) to
  c:\msysgit (or wherever you installed msysgit).
