On Linux when building this under RPM, RPM insisted on linking in standard system libraries like libpng, libjpeg-turbo, libGLEW, Lua, etc. This patch causes all dependencies to be statically compiled into the binary, which is ideal as the alternative is segfaulting because of incompatible library changes. StepMania also uses a modified Lua library which exports functions that don't exist in any standard Lua library, so there's no easy way around this.
StepMania
StepMania is an advanced cross-platform rhythm game for home and arcade use.

Installation
From Packages
For those that do not wish to compile the game on their own and use a binary right away, be aware of the following issues:
- Windows users are expected to have installed the Microsoft Visual C++ x86 Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 prior to running the game. For those on a 64-bit operating system, grab the x64 redistributable as well. DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) is also required. Windows 7 is the minimum supported version.
- Mac OS X users need to have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher to run StepMania.
- Linux users should receive all they need from the package manager of their choice.
From Source
StepMania can be compiled using CMake. More information about using CMake can be found in both the Build directory and CMake's documentation.
