Building EDuke32 on Linux

Building EDuke32 on Fedora Core 6

Note: You need an acutal copy of Duke Nukem 3D. The shareware vesion can be fond here.[1]

Step #1 - You need to aquire the source packages for EDuke32. You need both the eduke32 source and txbuild source files. Download them to your desktop from here. [2]

Step #2 - Create two folders on your desktop.

I chose to create a "duke3d" and "build" folders. Why these names? Well,

Step #3 - Preapre Fedora Core 6 for the build process

Fedora needs some packages intalled before you can properly build the required files. So, what files do you need? Here's the list.

nasm

libstdc++

Step #4 - Building the EDuke32 files.

In a terminal window move to the duke3d folder you created ealier. In that folder all you should have to type is "make".

Step #5 - Confirm the files that were created.

Six files should have been created:

mapster32.map

mapster32.sym

mapster32 (executable)

eduke32.map

eduke32.sym

eduke32 (exectuable)
