GZDoom premade '.deb' packages.... please?

[Super Chex]

I've gone through literally all of the linux GZDoom compilation tutorials I could find on the Internet... none give me a finished product. It would be nice if somebody could create a Debian installation package for easy installation. Either that, or make a better compilation tutorial.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is a project already in progress for this, however it has been stalled. Unfortunately the existence of this feature as of now, completely depends on one person, unless others experienced with Linux enough can join the cause and help. I could do it myself but I am way too busy and I have other commitments.

You should post this in the General section of the ZDoom forum - it may be quite beneficial for people to know that a demand for such a thing exists. Maybe others will join and help.

Thank you. I think I will.

I meant ZDoom forum - not here. I hate to say it, but here, not a lot of people really come by. Most people who come here use this site strictly for the resources, very few ever visit the actual forum.

It's really a matter of how wide of an audience you want to reach. There isn't enough of one here.

It's not to say people will ignore it here - I am just trying to help you find more help, that's all.

I'm surprised to hear this doesn't work. But that's an issue to raise with the Linux-savvy people on the ZDoom forum. I haven't used Linux in years.

Posting from the other thread:

I have followed literally every last compilation tutorial I could find on the internet to no avail.

What problem do you have? I suppose you've read already this.

Also, it compiles fine for me.

Yes.

And yes, I did download FMOD as explained in the tutorial.

What did you do precisely? Which version did you download?

I wonder if you unzipped the "fmodapi*****linux(64)" in the trunk directory...

[Quietman]

You need to install fmod by extracting the download and doing a 'sudo make install' from the fmod folder it created.
