I just downloaded the Quake III Source Code and I am trying to compile it under an AMD64 to bench 64bit Q3A vs 32bit Q3A. Anyway I tried this compile command as per the readme

Are your sure its the actual engine source not the regular mod making source ? Could i please get a URL from where you downloaded it. Thanks.

Also reading the README.txt may help, I don't think it compiles "out-of-the-box", unless you have gcc-2.95.
Try :

Seems like you have to use dos2unix on a lot of code files, otherwise it'll spit out a lot of syntax errors.

Edit: seems I got it to at least compile and run by following http://www.quakesrc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=46965&#46965 and running dos2unix on any set of files that give me trouble; need pak0.pk3 from the q3 cd and pak1-pak8.pk3 from the 132b patch in code/install/baseq3; run linuxquake3 from code/install.

I've compiled it successfully with my P4 optimizations. I have +10 FPS in benchmarks where I usually have 170 FPS.

ftp.idsoftware.com is overloaded - it's better to use bittorrent (TuxWarez)

Try using doing this in the code directory:

i have follow this and it's working for me on my laptop centrino/ati radeon

here is just a simple bash to do it
place it in the same dir as quake3-1.32b-source.zip and run it (go drinkring some cofee ^^)

Nice.be: Thanks, Your script seems to have worked, compiling now.

EDIT: I changed the last line from

Well it crapped out on me but I did find out two things. All the CFLAGS are in code/Construct. The first time it craped out was because it compiles with -mcpu=pentiumpro, I changed it to my CFLAGS and everything seemed to work until it got to the asm stuff. It seems all 64bit people get the same problem no matter what distro they are using.

yeah I got it working too

Here are the instructions:

1) dos2unix every files in code and code/unix
2) chmod +x every files in code and code/unix
3) edit the file Construct and change the line:

Just a quick tip: Running unzip with the -a flag will automatically convert the line breaks for you, no need for dos2unix or homebrewed scripts.

Have anybody fixed embedded assembler for correct compilation with gcc3/4?

problem with assembler? I got no one ...

btw, is it possible to include a PunkBuster inside the src ? Because we can't play with the source we build on the net unfortunately... (at least on punkbusters servers)

Elim, I'm still getting the same error (that vm_x86.o thing). Are you compiling the lcc code or running cons?

He compiled it on a 32bit system so the binaries are 32bit if your not sure goto the quake3 binary that you guy and run file on it.

I set the cflags so that it would compile as a 64 bit program, could it be that its a 64 bit binary linked to 32 bit libraries?
