2) open a terminal (NOT as root, as a normal user!), and enter:

Code:

mkdir git
cd git
wget https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
ls (you cannow see the name of the directory)
cd (now enter the name of the directory)

that's it.
here you have to follow instructions. usually some sort of preconfiguration, then make (to compile) (again, all this as a NORMAL user, NOT root!!!)
and when that goes fine, the very last step is

Code:

sudo make install

(but often that isn't even necessary)

the part i am stuck on is i done the ls command to see the directory but when i put the cd DOOM-master.zip in it says no such file or directory i cant go any farther until i can resolve this. again sorry just a slow learner.

The question I have is why do you want to use this instead of zandronum or the doomsday engine?

glsmaxx, I suggest making packages rather than just make install:

linuxfa, in your previous post you already changed to the proper directory, and now you're saying you can't find it?

if the concept of directories and files (and how to tell one from the other on the command line) is too much for you, i suggest you stick to a graphical desktop environment and the graphical tools offered therein.

as radicaldreamer said, doom packages are available, there's no need to compile them yourself.
software manager => search "doom" => click & install.

you need to mkdir linux to be able to go further. Actually here is a link how to go further: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...buntu#15116059

now keep in mind that this c code is from 1997 and for a i386 cpu

i would NOT expect this to build on any new operating system

install a VM and install a antique mandrake linux in the vm and try to built in that

chocolate doom is a version that does compile on modern linux's. I've compiled that one on a raspberry pi B (32 bit 700MHz 1 core 512MB ram). If you don't plan on advanced $PATH type things, then $(./configure --prefix=/usr).

Otherwise the stow package and other things can help you manage your not from distro type things.
