More Quake. Less bullshit.

SDLquake 1.0.9 (approximately)

This is SDLquake, a port of id Software's Quake engine to the Simple Direct-media Layer 1.2 for Linux. The Autotools build system has been updated to 2015 standards more or less.

Installation

Run autogen.sh to generate the configure file. Then execute ./configure && make to build the sdlquake executable. Run the sdlquake executable from within a directory containing the original Quake data files.

The Quake data files are expected to be named in lower case! This is true if you installed from Linux Quake installation media, but not necessarily true if you copied the data files over from Windows or performed the installation inside of DOSBox. If sdlquake fails to start and complains about missing files, be sure the id1 directory and the .pak files within it are renamed to lower case.

See INSTALL for detailed build instructions. Support for building on 64-bit multiarch systems has been added and may need explanation.

See README.SDL for the original porter's comments.

Notes

Fixed some RISC-V compilation issues, bugs and mouse control issues.
