Getting Duke Nukem 3d to work

[kleenex88h]

Hey everybody! I found a place that explains how to get Duke Nukem to work on Linux here: http://www.icculus.org/duke3d/. I get the source, but when I try to 'make' it, I get an error. Actually, anytime I use the 'make' command I get an error. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy

First of all, you have to show us the output from the terminal or this gonna be a long guessing contest

Oh, oh me first. I guess

sudo apt-get install build-essential

What do I get if I win?

You lose, cvs version is broken.

i got it compiled and installed ~3months ago after LOT OF FIXING

That wasn't even the whole thing because the terminal only went back part of the way and the post length limit is 30000 characters (I had 30210), but it's not like I expect anyone to read every line of this post!

I'm starting to think this may be beyond my abilities.

Can I get the ./configure output (If it's using it).

It's not using it.

I'd try DOSbox, none of the build engine ports work for me. DOSbox may be a little slow, or not work at all, I haven't tried it yet.

I did try DOSbox, and it is slow. The draw for me to use the source is that it would then run natively on linux.
