4. Compiling
Just extract the source tarball, then
______________________________________________________________________
cd quakespasm-0.85.3
make
cp quakespasm /usr/local/games/quake (for eg)
______________________________________________________________________
Use make DEBUG=1 for debugging.
Optionally, HOME directory support can be enabled via the Misc/home-
dir_0.patch diff.
If for any reason this doesn't work, the project can also be built
with Codeblocks. This is a large, free, integrated development envi-
ronment that requires wxWidgets and cmake to install. The process is
not for the faint hearted.
5. Todo
o Ogg/Mp3 music file support
o Tested HOME directory support
o Fix Centerview (V_StartPitchDrift)
o Fix compiler warnings
o Tie down the "-window/-fullscreen" options / behaviour ?
