Trouble getting installing gzdoom with source code

Pinonoir · 11-20-2014, 10:56 PM

I want to install gzdoom. The problem is that I can't find a way to compile the source code here

Code:

https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom

The only source binary I found was a windows one

Code:

http://www.osnanet.de/c.oelckers/gzdoom/download.html

I'm not sure how to compile the git code to a tarball for use in Slackware to use with freedoom, some help here would be appreciated in this problem. Thanks.

see the file "CMakeLists.txt"

it is a cmake project
( not a normal ./configure && make... )

google using "cmake"

Code:

cd To/the/location/of/the/folder/gzdoom-master
mkdir BUILD
cd BUILD
cmake ../
------ if it has NO ERRORS ---
make

then MANUALLY INSTALL !!!!!!!!!
or
use a cmake install option

Code:

cd BUILD
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gzdoom ../
------ if it has NO ERRORS ---
make

Hi,

it seems to use cmake, so:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom
cd gzdoom
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

I just tried this and the build failed. So I tried again with the 2.6 branch and that failed too. Seems it needs something called "FMOD". Have no idea what that is. There is a docs directory so you may be able to work out what is needed.

HTH,

Evo2.

Ok, it seems to have compiled without errors. I learn something new everyday, it seems.

i got that missing "FMOD" error
but if you let cmake run you find it is looking for "FluidSynth"
-- for opensuse13.2

Code:

zypper in fluidsynth fluidsynth-devel

it needs a ton of code , i do not plan on using this game so ...
the first things that would need fixing

Code:

---- 
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:274 (message):
  Could not find FMOD include files

You said in another post that you were using Slackware.

Does it have to be the git repo and not a release tarball?

http://slackbuilds.org/games/gzdoom/

If your BASH is good enough, you can just edit the SlackBuild and have it build the git clone. Here's a guide to how SlackBuilds work:

My BASH is terrible.
Also, the README.source says to uae the git repo, and the link for the source code is dead as well for the 1.8.2 version.

Code:

I've emailed the SlackBuild maintainer to report the broken source link. In the meantime, you can do the following to get the package built:

First, install the fmodapi dependency from Sbo (SlackBuilds.org).

Then you can just run the following script as root to download the source and build it into a Slackware package:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

wget http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.1/games/gzdoom.tar.gz
tar xf gzdoom.tar.gz
cd gzdoom
git clone https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom.git
cd gzdoom
VERSION=`git rev-parse --short HEAD`
cd ..
mv gzdoom gzdoom-$VERSION
tar -czf gzdoom-${VERSION}.tar.gz gzdoom-$VERSION
VERSION=$VERSION ./gzdoom.SlackBuild

I've only tested it as far as the "it starts to build" stage, so let me know if it doesn't work (and I'll make it work).

The source tarball is now available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/slac.../files/gzdoom/

I expect the SlackBuild to be updated soon.
