Compile Doom on Linux

Raw

doom_compile_linux.md

Anything on github?

The original Id software release is there, but no dos version because of a sound library issue. (Why not release dos source without sound?

This is still under development, try it out:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/prboom-plus/

Where can I checkout the source code? Don't want a tar.gz.

Shareware wad

http://www.doomarchive.com/download.asp?FileId=5583 and probably elsewhere.

Chocolate Doom

https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom.git

This looks better:
git clone https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom.git
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-net-dev
cd chocolate-doom
./autogen.sh
make
./src/chocolate-doom -iwad ../DOOM1.WAD
It goes full-screen.

The keyboard doesn't work except for the buttons used for moving the player- it isn't possible to quit! Also not possible to save.

Also switching ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal didn't work, the screen was just black.

So need to run in windowed mode, and how to fix the keyboard? chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom#740
./src/chocolate-doom-setup 
Made the game windowed and told it not to own the mouse, which allows quitting, but still no keyboard support.

Get these errors:
The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list <[email protected]> X11 KeyCode 29 (21), X11 KeySym 0x79 (y).

Looking to compile DOOM on a Wii running Debian, Chocolate DOOM doesn't support PowerPC
