Vanilla "WinQuake" on Linux?

JasonX · Post by **JasonX** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 10:56 pm

Is there a vanilla WinQuake version for Linux? Just a bare port with cross-compiling? (compile for Windows and Linux on Linux)

try checking your distros rpm sites.

No luck finding one. Any sources out there? Tried to compile QW from the original sources on Linux, no luck.

Hmm googling turned up a few but mostly quakeworld.

Which error are you getting when trying to compile it ? maybe i can help i use gcc daily so i know my way around a few things.

I'm not sure if it is compilable. Which results you got from Google?

I would recommend sdlquake. Or tyr-quake.

Is quakespasm 'vanilla' enough?

I was looking for something without any changes to the original source other than the actual port and cross-compiling. Not looking for binaries or tuts.

I'll check SDLQuake out.

TyrQuake is about as vanilla as it can get and maybe an early version of it would suit: http://disenchant.net/files/engine/

I third Tyrquake! I used it on my old laptop when I had no hardware accel. Worked like a charm.

aye tyr's might actually be the better choice if you want something as close to vanilla as possible.

If you just want that, then compile from the q1source.zip on id's ftp. It compiles and runs on 32bit linux, though when I did that mouse movement only worked horizontally and there was no sound.

aye original source is pretty old there might be incompatibilities.

SDLquake from it's official site can't be compiled on 64-bit, because it uses 32-bit assembler... Also, even when compiling on 32-bit, I couldn't get networking to work :( I guess it's really old piece of software. But have a look at quakespasm, my fauvorite software-rendered engine!
