Compiling (OpenXcom)

The OpenXcom codebase is hosted on Github, and you can grab the latest source with any Git client from here. If you're a Github user you might wanna use a fork instead.

OpenXcom is a cross-platform game so it's possible to compile it on a variety of systems and project files for all the popular IDEs are included. There's also a Doxygen documentation available.

Don't forget to check the Installing section on how to run the game.
