Full Text Bug Listing

Compiling at first didn't want to work, as x86_64 wasn't supported.  I then
went ahead and tinkered with the Makefile and src/linux/sys_linux.c (which are
attached).  Just search the files for "x86_64" as those lines are all I added.

In order to get it to work with glx mode without glitched graphics, I modified
~/.quake2/baseq2/config.cfg and modfied the setting for "set vid_ref" to:

set vid_ref "glx"

Now the game works. 

To get sound working I had to also use the following command:

echo "quake2 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

The game has a few bugs still I think, like if you choose the video menu it
crashes.  But, hopefully someone else out there can give it a good lookover?  I
have not yet done networking with this client yet, but plan to test that more
tonight.

Please use the attached files and add ~amd64 to the keywords to mark it as
working

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unpacked source
2. Modified Makefile and src/linux/sys_linux.c
3. Installed aalib (you'll need this for a successful compile)
4. ebuild <ebuildfile> compile
5. ebuild <ebuildfile> install
6. ebuild <ebuildfile> qmerge
7. modified ~/.quake2/baseq2/config.cfg
8. echo "quake2 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

Actual Results:  
game works in default glx mode.  Crashes when opening video menu.  Game does
not
work in software mode at all (graphics are messed up)

This is the Makefile as I modified it.

Created an attachment (id=24909) [details]
this goes in src/linux/sys_linux.c

At the moment, we have no way of testing this, as nobody on our team has an
AMD64 machine.

I should be getting my machine in the next week, so I'll take this one and try
it out.  Thanks for the report and if we can get everything working, I'll
submit it upstream to icculus.org and hopefully get it added to the actual
upstream package.

Notes from the front:

I will be attaching the patch version of his files for convenience and ease of addition.  Also to follow is my ebuild.

In order to get sound to work I had to run sdlquake2.  No hints I found from others workes to get the straight quake2 to output via the kernel ALSA drivers.

Can someone on the games team inform me what these lines do:
       rogue? ( ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source/roguesrc320.shar.Z )
       xatrix? ( ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source/xatrixsrc320.shar.Z )"

I could not get the build to emerge with those line included.  Error:
11:07:46 (357.40 KB/s) - `/usr/portage/distfiles/.listing' saved [1139263]

Removed `/usr/portage/distfiles/.listing'.

AMD64 Makefile Patch

This is the patch for the Makefile in the tar's root directory.

Created an attachment (id=24947) [details]
Patch for src/linux/sys_linux.c for AMD64.

Patch for src/linux/sys_linux.c that builds the AMD64 game library.

Created an attachment (id=24948) [details]
quake2-icculus-0.15-r1.ebuild AMD64 Patch

This will patch your ebuild to build for AMD64.  Please be sure to read all
notes to get the resulting executable to function correctly.  Also, please be
sure to place attachment 24945 [details] and 24947 in the files directory as
0.15-Makefile-amd64.patch and 0.15-amd64.patch respectively.

For my convenice (and since they don't seem to work), I removed the two lines
mentioned in my previous comment from the ebuild.  Please advise.

xatrix and rogue are both commercial add-on packs which require the source
(under different license btw) to be downloaded from Id.

beta direct alsa sound support has been committed to CVS (as will the patches
attached) and will appear in the next release (sometime soon I promise)

Brendan (bburns <at> icculus.org)

Brendan, should I go ahead and implement these patches in the version we have
in portage, or is a release due sometime soon?

Are these changes going to be put in?  I tried the current ebuild on two
different x86 systems and I get the same bug when opening the video menu, so I
don't think that's amd64 related.

I again compiled this just today and the game works good.  SDL isn't yet
available on amd64 IIRC, so that shouln't really be working anyways.

brendan seems to be on top of this stuff so we'll just wait for his next
release i think for proper support across the board

Working

Added these to CVS
