Talk:Building EDuke32 on Linux

It works so far, but there's no sound. I used duke on Linux about a year ago or so and there definetely was sound. So what a I doing wrong? SDL_sound* ae installed (dev too).

Could you post with which versions of eduke and txbuild you used ? I couldnt get it to run through. Also there should be better explanation about the whole process of unpacking the two archives ... - stechlinger

There should be sound with the September build again, tried that one yet? --DaVince 12:07, 22 December 2007 (PST)

Just installed it on Ubuntu. Note: (1). Checked with "aptitude search stl". There was so much libstl stuff, some installed and others not, that I left it. libstdc++6 was installed so I left it also. Installed nasm only. (2). txbuild was not mentioned in the repository, but the src code package included a "build" directory and an "eduke32" directory so I assume that this was sufficient. Anyway going into eduke32: (3). It compiled flawlessly. (4). First run it found DUKE3D.GRP but complained duke3d.grp was not there. Renamed the former to the lower case name that it expected, and it runs without a hitch.

Many thanks for a great effort. You are a gem.

cheers, Ken Sarkies

Problem with 'make'

Hi,

I've got the shareware files and I've extracted them to home/user/DukeNukem3D. The makefile is in /source. I navigate to that folder and type 'make' but then get this message:

"make: *** No rule to make target `makefile'. Stop."

Any ideas? The makefile is there, I can see it in the directory

I'm a noob with linux so I'm pretty lost now
