# Open Cubic Player

Unix port of [Open Cubic Player](https://www.cubic.org/player/), which is a text-based player with some few graphical views.
Visual output can be done through nCurses, Linux console (VCSA + FrameBuffer), X11 or SDL.
This port can be compiled for various different Unix-based operating systems, including MinGW compilers.

Built into the file-browser is support for directly browsing <https://modland.com> utilizing `curl`.

An initial fetch of the database containing all the file names is required for this feature to work.
This is available in the `modland.com/setup.dev` option inside of the built-in file browser.

## Installing binaries on Linux

See: <https://repology.org/project/ocp-open-cubic-player/versions>

## GNU Unifont

[GNU Unifont files](https://unifoundry.com/unifont/) are required when X11/SDL support is enabled.
This is an 8x16 font that has the main goal of being UTF-8/Unicode complete.
For special scripts it will look incorrect, but the character-set should be complete.

In most systems, Unifont files will be installed in `/usr/share/fonts/truetype/unifont/` or `/usr/share/fonts/opentype/unifont/`.
If this path is different for your system, you can configure the correct path using `--with-unifontdir-ttf=/your/path` and/or `--with-unifontdir-otf=/your/path` when invoking `./configure`.

If the Unifont files on your system are not named exactly `unifont.ttf`, `unifont_csur.ttf` and `unifont_upper.ttf`, the filenames can be configured using `--with-unifont-ttf=/your/path/UniFont.ttf`, `--with-unifont-csur-ttf=/your/path/UniFont-CSUR.ttf` and/or `--with-unifont-upper-ttf=/your/path/UniFont-Upper.ttf`.
For the OpenType version of the files, use `--with-unifont-otf`, `--with-unifont-csur-otf` and/or `--with-unifont-upper-otf`.

If the filenames on your system contains version numbers, we ask you to fill a bug-report to your system provider and ask them to add symlinks without version numbers in them.

## Installing on macOS

Use: `brew install ocp`

### Additional notes for Darwin

If you use liboss, you might need to edit `/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/liboss.pc` and remove `-Wno-precomp` (liboss 0.0.1 is known to be broken and crashes, so we discourage the use of liboss).

To configure Darwin, my experience is that you need to run configure like this:
```
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CPPCXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include ./configure
```

and optionally add things like `--prefix` etc.

To get curses up and running with colors, you need to run ocp like this:
```
TERM=xterm-color ocp-curses
```
