the get current monitor is code for _WIN32 u can #ifdef around that...

gl_ext.h should have been in the zip /inc folder..

Swapping out gl_quake.h with 1.9 gl_quake.h fixes the missing file error.

ya that's adding more noodles to the bowl of spaghetti...

Certain parts are Win32 specific, and Linux wont understand it. There needs to be more #ifdefs added to segregate windows code from linux.
Maybe diff agains the 1.60 code an see parts that can be commented out.

[Phenom]

I use this to run it . The condump command doesnt work and the
codec_capture doesnt either but kinda expected that.

I updated it from 160 to 190 using some files from the build release.
Nvidia 9400 gt 1024MB with 2.0 ghz Core 2 Duo 2gb ram
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
I had to recover my box got hosed from a udev update dropping me into busybox with initramfs errors.

Care to share alittle more on how you did this?

I think I'm experiencing the same error L3r was talking about (post #13) where the console and menu will load but once I try to load a map the whole thing freezes (PC). and I have to hard-restart my PC... I can't get into a map now? Strange. I followed my own instructions.. Wonder whats going on here?

[bluntz]

I replaced the files in 1.9 from 1.6 that gave errors during compile.
I think 3 were swapped out.
I know its not the right way to do it but it worked.
I am not a programmer so I can not correct the code.
I have extensive compiling experience though Since being a Linux user since RH 5.
2 things need to be done with windows files
1. usually the format is bad
with carriage returns and linebreaks,
the old way to fix that was dos2unix.
But its not in 10.4 its been replaced by fromdos
so I ran it first

find -type f -exec fromdos {} \;

2.The naming conventions need examining.
Normally the filenames will be lowercase but not always.
To be sure we must look at the include calls to see.some looked suspicious so I ran the lowercase script.

./fixskins.sh

3. Also of concern was the environment so I coppied the libs and includes to the source dir just in case.

#note I did not apply patch. built i386 first.

[Phenom]

After extracking the qrack source, and patching the source files like lxndr showed how to do.

cd qrack-1.60.1-src && patch < /home/ler/Desktop/qrack-1.60.1-src.patch
patching file cl_main.c
patching file cmdhist.dat
patching file host_cmd.c
patching file pr_cmds.c
patching file pr_edict.c
patching file pr_exec.c
patching file progs.h
patching file sv_main.c

then doing the make release, as phenom showed to do.

Compilation finished succesfully ;)

'make install' to install in your quake home dir.

'make install_root' if was built with DATADIR option enabled, you must gain root privileges.

Then relocating the qrack-sdl and etc files to my quake folder, where i've already extracked qrack 1.60, with its pak0/pak1 and pakX which i renamed to pak2.pak

running it in fullscreen with ./qrack-sdl -fullscreen 1680

It works, however i get these errors and i can't load anymaps, also i had difficulty exiting it because if you did quit;y it'd say "y" unknown command, so i found if i went to quit in the menu and hit enter then y and then ESC! which i didn't hit before ... it will actually close the qrack window.

Prior to the patching as i did try to run it once without the patch and it compiled with 0 errors as phenom showed before, however, when i went to run that compiled version without the patch, it froze my desktop and i had to hard down the pc. =(

Anyho... just figured i'd post this here.

It technically runs... as i can see console, and menu.... but can't load any maps.

Get that weird wad error.

I had a similar issue where qrack 1.60 would only show the console and freeze my PC if I tried loading anything.

I fixed this by completely cleaning out my Quake folder of any extra packs or mods/files and just keeping the bare-necessities to make quake run, pak0.pak, pak1.pak, autoexec.cfg, config.cfg, qrack-glx & qrack-sdl. Seemed to fix the issue of not only locking up my PC but also random program failure.

ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE "build-essential" installed! Ubuntu users use "sudo apt-get install build-essential"

[MaraST78]

Locking up your PC? You mean LOCKING UP, where even elephants fail?
Please, say that you use ATi.

[Phenom]

Actually I'm running an Nvidia 7800 GT

[bluntz]

When it Locks up you can do ctrl+alt+f1-f6 to get to the console
then issue: top
find process and then issue: killall process name.(eg.. qrack-glx)
then ctrl+alt+f7 to return to desktop.

[MaraST78]

Yeas, this will get you out of trouble 99% of times and I just can't imagine Qrack completely killing OS. Phenom, are inputs dead? I mean keyboard seems not to do anything? If so, try magic keys to cleanly reboot.
Hold SysRq+Alt and slowly (like 1,5 sec delay between them) type: r s e i u b
The last 'b' may not work, so tap ctrl+alt+del intead, should reboot now. I'm not on Ubuntu, so I don't know if magic keys have to be enabled here first to work (like on Fedora).
Everytime I had similar lockup like this (and it was just a very few) it got me out of trouble. Complete OS lockup is very rare and simple app doing it is sometimes true with ATi's 'software', that's why I asked.

[bluntz]

I am having trouble setting up code::blocks correctly and other
headaches so lets just test what we have for now.
My quake dir is /username/quake/ and qrack from commandline works right for me, sometimes I may heve to do it a few times before pulse sets up sound though.
Here is what I built of it on Lucid

BETA

http://quakeone.dyndns.org/qrack-1.60.1_1.6-1_i386.deb
P.S.
NEVER RQ your rig....hehe
