How to build existing levels (wflevels, for example)

Prerequesistes:

• wfsource and wftools must be built (including 'make copybinaries' in wftools)
• gtk & gtk-- development libraries
• Innonvation 3D (if you want to edit levels or built the test level)

1. Copy the levels into a directory under wfsource (for wflevels do 'cvs checkout wflevels' in wfsource)
2. copy the contents (recursively but exclude the CVS dir if present) of wfsource/level.src into this directory
3. create levels.txt
4. If not yet present, mkdir wfsource/assets/linux
5. do a 'make' inside of that directory

For the wflevels project all of the levels except test were created using 3D Studio Max and so have their .lev file checked in (since one cannot export from max under Linux). The test level (which I really should rename) was created using Innovation 3D under Linux, so I didn't check in the .lev file, I just load the level and export it.

here's what i get when trying to build the "test" level from wflevels:

perl unixmakefile.levels.pl <levels.txt >makefile.levels
