The official "ZDoom on Linux" thread.

I'm having a similar problem to the people above. When I use the "make" command, this happens:

It seems to have trouble making the zdoom.exe file, and when I look in the trunk directory, there's no .pk3 file, either.
This is my second try, if that information helps. I still got the same error before.
Also, I'm using Ubuntu version 12.04.

[Edward-san]

Which distro? 32 bit or 64 bit?

[Blzut3]

It looks like he has 64-bit Ubuntu installed and is trying to link against the 32-bit libfmodex. Try the 64-bit version of fmod.

[Jakester897]

Oh, my. It actually is 64 bit. That explains a lot, really. Wow, now I feel dumb.
Okay, I'm going to try it.

Edit: I have the game working perfectly. However, the screen is blocked by Unity's sidebar, and the top with the info bar. This is more of an Ubuntu problem, though, so I've been helped as much as I could have been. Thanks, and happy Dooming.

[Edward-san]

it seems like cmake isn't aware of the changes inside the files in wadsrc* folder, ie doesn't update the pk3 file with the changes. As a workaround I remove the pk3 file before rebuilding everything, but that's a bad imposition imho...

I wonder if it's wadsrc/CMakeList.txt fault or not... should I make a new bug report?

Only if you have a fix to go with it. it's supposed to unconditionally run zipdir, but for whatever reason that doesn't happen.

Is there a way to update to 2.6.0 on Linux?

I already had a version of the 2.5.9999 r# family compiled and installed, some minutes ago I tried svn update as proposed here, but recompiling just gave me a newer version of that series, specifically 2.5.9999 r3732.

Thanks in advance.

[Blzut3]

the trunk is still labelled 2.5.9999, but it is equivalent to 2.6.0. If you really want to build 2.6.0:

Code: Select all

svn switch http://mancubus.net/svn/hosted/zdoom/zdoom/tags/2.6.0/

Hello.

Since I'm a new and very newbie linux user, I was just wandering:

Is there any linux distrubution which has in its own repositories zdoom and/or gzdoom already packed? Maybe anyone knows?

Thanks.

I don't think so; ZDoom contains code under a non-commercial [wiki]license[/wiki] (Build and the MAME OPL emulator mostly).

However, there is this for Debian.

While trying to compile ZDooM on Debian (On a Virtual Machine), I get this:

Yes, I also even did a svn checkout, and I cleared out the release folder and redid the "cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .."

For any other info, it's Debian 6.0.2 64-Bit running on VirtualBox.

[Edward-san]

just a guess: what happens if you change the "ZDooM SVN" folder name with, for example, "ZdooM_SVN" and retry to compile?

Seems to work fine, that should be added to the Wiki -- don't use spaces, Linux doesn't like it.

[Edward-san]

probably it's the assembler's fault that didn't parse correctly the path to the file object... who knows.

Hi, im trying to compile zdoom on linux, and i got it compiled, but i have no sound. I´m a newbie do i have to copy any special file next to the zdoom executable? In the compile instructions they mention copying to /usr/local, when installing fmodex, but i have it without installing it. And, is there a way to make zdoom write its config files, find WADs, and any needed libs to /opt/zdoom instead of $HOME/.zdoom, $DOOMWADDIR, or /usr/local/share?
