I have been playing Descent 3 for a while and i want to install Descent 1 & 2, would anybody know how to do that?

P.S.
I will play anyone in a TCP/IP match in D3.

same thing with gcc

[donkyhotay]

ALthough DOSbox works I would recommend using D2X instead. I used to use it for windows (due to DOS issues with XP) and it worked great. Not certain how well it works with linux but I do know they have a linux port so I assume it's the same. Hmm... maybe I should see about installing descent again...


//edit: Oops, someone beat me to my suggestion (c:

[Brebs]

physfs.h: No such file or directory
That's the clue. Install physfs. And see pkgbuild script (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11923) for installation clues.

It looks like Debian mangles and splits the name (http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=physfs&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all) into libphysfs-dev and libphysfs.

i compiled it fine and when i tried to run it got...

[donkyhotay]

You need to copy the .hog (data) files from a descent CD in order for it to run correctly. If you don't have one you can get the data files from the demo version and use that but then you're limited to the trial of course.

[bobmatino17]

also i used the command
locate *.hog

and got
