quake2world.net

Quake2World is under development, and moves quickly. Some of the game data has been borrowed from other projects, and is in placeholder status. You should only install Quake2World if you wish to preview or contribute to the project. Be prepared to rebuild at least weekly to keep up with the pack.

Windows

• Download the latest Windows snapshot and run the included Update.bat.
• Alternatively, Marcel Wysocki has contributed an excellent guide for compiling on Windows.

GNU/Linux, FreeBSD

• Ensure you have the following dependencies at these minimum versions:
  

      subversion 1.4.0, gcc 4.0, automake 1.9.6, autoconf 2.59, libsdl 1.2, sdl_image 1.2, libcurl 7.15.1

• On Ubuntu, simply run:
  

      sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential automake1.9 libtool libsdl-image1.2-dev libcurl3-dev

• Compile the source code and install the binaries:
  

      svn co svn://jdolan.dyndns.org/quake2world
      cd quake2world
      autoreconf -i
      ./configure
      make && sudo make install
  

• Obtain the game data via rsync (see below).

Game Data Updates

The Quake2World game data is distributed via rsync. You should plan on updating about as often as you rebuild the source code. On Windows, this simply means running Update.bat from time to time. On GNU/Linux, FreeBSD:

    cd /usr/local/share
    sudo rsync -avz --delete rsync://satgnu.net/quake2world quake2world
