porting super8

Just a thought... will the windows version run in Wine?

Probably, but also likely at a performance cost. Grab some LiveDVD and just try it.

Thanks, all, for taking a shot at it and the suggestions. Since Flash compiles, and Windows compiles w/ mingw, I thought at least Linux would be straightforward.
If it's an overrun that Windows and Flash can absorb, but not other OSes, perhaps it will eventually be exposed.
torrenting that Linux Minty now...

Thanks for explanations of the sub model seg fault. Will correct that in next build. And maybe other extended limit engines could use a check..

I've started trying to compile under Linux, trying to adapt TyrQuake sys_linux.c, etc., as a starting point. This is the most current SW Quake Linux engine I could find. Ran into a snag with X DGA libraries... lots of comments in headers stating "depreciated" and compile errors like "Pixmap undefined" within the DGA library headers themselves. Anyone know what are the latest-and-greatest libraries to use?

Quake-based engine (Hexen II) including software engine (even transparent water and entities) and lots of ports: http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ might be a source of knowledge.
