Hi Guys,
I have just downloaded the Quake3 source from Id Software's website. And I can't quite figure out how to compile it. I have tried using the example that Id Software provides in the README, but it was no use.
PLEASE HELP!

You know it's just part of the engine that is Open Source. Not the game.

Where can I get the engine?
I did a google search and I got the same engine over and over again. The Quake 3 1.32b Source code

Help?

The original source release to the engine is this file:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/quake3-1.32b-source.zip

I run a project called ioquake3 that makes it a little easier to work with under modern platforms:

There is no need to compile anything, althought I already did it... just play it online by using your browser! Visit this website for more info - http://www.quakelive.com/#home

QuakeLive's not Quake III Arena. You can't run mods on it, etc.

Try ./configure, then make

Interesting. Karmic has the quake3-data package which installs the Quake 3 data, but where's the game engine? Isn't there a package with the engine?
