Build instructions / rough edges

[mxmilkiib]

Can I request some advice on the correct process for building?

At first I get:

if [ `hostname` == sparkle ] ; then ./unix/pcons-2.3.1 -j4 -- novm noso ; else ./unix/cons ; fi
/bin/sh: ./unix/cons: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:3: all] Error 126

I guess I have to chmod +x code/unix/cons. This could be set in the repo to avoid the user having to do that.

After that make returns:

if [ `hostname` == sparkle ] ; then ./unix/pcons-2.3.1 -j4 -- novm noso ; else ./unix/cons ; fi
/usr/bin/env: ‘perl\r’: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:3: all] Error 127

I'm also guessing that the hostname == sparkle part is legacy and could be dropped?

I'd like to get this in the AUR for easy build and install.

Try running dos2unix on the Makefile:

dos2unix Makefile

and then try running make

Aha, thank you. No time or mood for gaming right now but I'll probably cycle back to trying this at some point in the next month or so. Before, I ended up going down the route of using Quake3e which latterly got an entry in the Arch AUR. IIRC, my looking around at other engines was, aside from fps improvements, because for some reason no engine I had tried before was displaying the the deceleration bar in the trickjump cgaz HUD which wasn't helping me better my muscle memory. Quake3e didn't solve that though.
