Qrack on Linux

[Tremor]

To anyone who knows..

I noticed that Rook and Spirit were able to get qrack compiled on linux. I, unfortunately, am unable to. I've downloaded the src, and run the make make install, but I continuously get errors.

I'm running Fedora Core 6, and can post specific error messages.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I dont have a working Linux installment :/ but I really plan to do so, I just want a solid linux dist to install! Then I can actually support LinuxQrack arent there any compiled binaries floating around?

Look at the make file. It's for windows

[Tremor]

I don't think so. It's got a few entries for i386, but is bound to /usr/local

And it also has this at the top
# Quake Makefile for Linux 2.0

Perhaps there was an update. The qrack makefile (if there ever was one) that I looked at had .dll written all over it.

I just took a look at the source and I didn't find anything resembling a makefile. The closest I saw was Qrack.dsp which is the MSVC build file. I suppose you could generate a makefile based on that.

Maybe when I get some time i can try to make a simple linux makefile.

Well, most of the files compiled ok, but I gave up trying to get vid_glx.c to work (the linux GL driver file). It is very badly broken I then copied the same file from proquake 3.5 but it wasn't compatible. It will take a good amount of work to get this file to compile, and I don't really have the time to work on it Sorry!

i'd think fuhquake for linux or jq's vid_glx.c would be compatible?

We are talking about this: http://qudos.quakedev.com/linux/quak....1-src.tar.bz2

Tremor, post the errors please.

Spirit, I can post the errors a little later this day. Thanks for all the replies! I had given up on this, but maybe we can get it to work. Awesome.

[Spirit]

Install:
libpng12-dev (maybe not 12, just grab the latest one available)
libgl1-mesa-dev

Now the libpng.h and the glx.h should be available.
Don't forget "make clean" before attempting compiling again.

So Tremor what did you type in to compile it?

[Spirit]

Just do what you normally do to compile...

./configure
make
