ECWolf Source Code

The source code uses CMake to generate project files for all platforms. Supported compilers are GCC and MSVC. The code depends on SDL2, the customized SDL2_mixer, and SDL2_net. (Stock SDL_mixer will work, but some very minor features will be disabled.)

The source is dual licensed under the GPL (default) as well as the original non-commercial license. See the wiki for more information.

Nightly builds are also available from DRD Team.

There are also some unofficial ports such as for the GCW Zero. Unofficial Linux packages are available for ArchLinux. These ports may not be up to date, and please contact their maintainer for any issues.
