Linux, 4.7.1, "teleporting" things and other words

I'm trying to compile a version of REKKR for Linux, which went okay - got GZDoom 4.7.1 compiled just fine, editing it shouldn't be a problem then - but when I tested out REKKR I got an error:

I then tried Doom 2 which worked fine, so I tried REKKR again, which worked, but with the wrong default cvars. Assuming because doom 2 already set them. Though it looks like some of the cvars I was setting through the defcvars lump are antiquated.
Another issue is that the mana sprites are teleporting around. Every few frames they'll teleport away to the other side of the room, and then back. Not sure what's happening here. They're just dehacked ammo-things with a negative speed value so the run away from the player.
Gez's custom cheats zscripting also doesn't seem to be functioning.

Anyway. I'm not sure what amount of this is me not knowing what I'm doing (not typically a Linux user), or how much is bugs. Either way it doesn't have any problem seeing REKKR as an .iwad, but it can't ran it until after an official iwad is run. Which seems most likely to be a bug to me, and is the main reason for the post.

Fatal error is caused by usage of old ZMusic with new FluidSynth. You need to build ZMusic 1.1.8 or newer to fix this issue.
Also, reporting a bunch of unrelated problems in one topic is a bad idea.

Those errors with REKKR mean that it tries to pre-set pure user CVARs which has been blocked due to precisely this kind of abuse. DEVCVARS no longer allows setting any input related CVAR because input settings are system specific and cannot be properly set up by mods.
THe same goes for KEYCONF. This has never been a generic CVAR setting method. These are clearly not GZDoom related issues.

You have to report this to the maintainer of the package you are using.

Ah. Though I was, but turns out I was using 1.1.3. Not sure why it would work with an original iwad and not a gzdoom specific .iwad, but then work with a .iwad after. But thanks! I'll see what I can do about that. Probably nothing, I'm pretty obviously out of my wheelhouse.
And thanks for the info about the defcvars lump, I'll just cut those out of the lump. Those specific errors weren't really an issue, and I didn't make that super clear. The keyconf lump isn't used for any permanent changes anyway (since it wouldn't work ofc) the errors there aren't really errors. They just set temporary changes, which still works.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut yeah. Sorry to bother you I guess. Guess I'll plug away at it a little longer before I give up. Cheers.

If you want your custom executable to ship with specific configuration defaults (understandable, as you are making a custom standalone game) - and since you are custom-compiling executables anyway - your best bet would be to edit the engine source files themselves to hardcode your game's defaults.

DEFCVARS should work for a custom IWAD, though. It's only for mods that it's blocked, isn't it?

Some strictly user-side CVARs are also blocked for IWADs. For example, no mod has any business altering a user's input preferences which are usually hardware dependent. A bad setup made for a specific computer can easly render other systems unable to properly process input or doing problematic things.
