Getting Duke Nukem 3d to work

[DoktorSeven]

Whew. I got Duke3d working but it wasn't easy. JonoF has a modified build that works better.

I'll try to document the steps I took, but if I miss something, or screw up a step, I apologize... warning: long and complicated instructions follow:

Grab the build engine source here (JFBuild source code 20051009 596.43 kB), and the Duke3d source here. Extract both from the same directory so that you have both "jfbuild_src_20051009" and "jfduke3d_src_20051009" directories in the same place.

Then link the build directory to "build" (from the directory you have both these subdirs in, do ln -s jfbuild_src_20051009 build --this is because the jfduke3dsrc expects jfbuild to be in a directory called simply "build".)

You'll need several -dev libraries (libsdl1.2-dev, I'm sure, and possibly others -- I already had several game-related development libraries installed, so I'm not sure what all it needs). In addition, you'll need the nasm assembler (sudo apt-get install nasm), and fmod...

I didn't see fmod in the repositories, so I went to the site, grabbed the "FMOD 3.75 Programmers API" (fmodapi375linux.tar.gz). Extracted it and found it had to be manually installed... *grr*. After extract, cd fmodapi375linux/api then sudo cp libfmod-3.75.so /usr/lib/ and sudo cp inc/* /usr/include/, and finally sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfmod-3.75.so /usr/lib/libfmod.so.

Next: sound patches for Build and Duke Nukem. (Yeah, I know, it's a lot.) Save this link into the jfbuild_src_20051009 directory, and this link into the jfduke3d_src_20051009 directory. (These patches are from this thread on JonoF's messageboard.)

Now we finally start building. cd jfbuild_src_20051009 and do the patch: patch -p1 < jfbuild_src_20051009.patch. Then just type make. Any errors, look for what it's trying to find (particularly in lines saying they can't find a .h file) and install the appropriate -dev package.

When done, cd ../jfduke3d_src_20051009, patch it with patch -p1 < jfduke3d_src_20051009.patch, and type make.

*whew*. Copy over your duke3d.grp file from a Duke3d install or disk into the jfduke3d source directory where the duke3d binary now rests (duke3d.grp must be lowercase) and type ./duke3d to start the game.

It worked for me, anyway... sorry if it doesn't for you.

[Or'Enn]

This worked great for me. I at least have the game installed and able to run.
But..:
When I type ./duke3d it starts up in 320x240 (8-bpp windowed)!

Any idea how this can be corrected? On the first run I got:

Thanks for that tutorial, DoktorSeve! It's all working fine for me I did need to install some libraries (libsdl1.2-dev and libsdl-mixer1.2, and I think libgl1-mesa-dev as well. There may be others which I've installed in the past).

When I type ./duke3d it starts up in 320x240 (8-bpp windowed)!

That happened for me as well. However, going into the options and selecting a higher resolution seems to work fine

Anyone had any luck getting this to work on amd64? All I get when I try to build jfbuild_src_20051009 is this:

Any ideas?

[jdunn]

Bah! Just wait for Duke Nukem' Forever...and ever and ever and ever and ever.......

I hear some stores allow you to pre-order the game...for when hell freezes over.

[Zaggy]

fixed the dependency, will provide ready to run duke3d without licensed files

[kvonb]

Hey zaggy, I would like a copy of that when you get it done.

Regards, Kev

Hi Zaggy id like a copy of it too

Anyone had any luck getting this to work on amd64?
Any ideas?

For getting it to work on AMD64, you should probably try this:

edit the Makefile to change the CFLAGS variable. Instead of -march=pentium, make it -march=athlon64 -m32

CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -m32 $(debug)

The only problem is that you now have to link to several 32-bit libraries, so you'd better install them in /usr/lib32 or whereever you like. If you add the 32 bit libraries from some uncommon place, you'd better adjust the LIBS variable to make it say:

LIBS=-L/your/lib32/directory/

I have tested the compiling, that works, but I don't have time to find the libs (yet). Hope to have helped someone...

[rutger83]

Ok, I've got it working on my AMD64 dapper drake. Here's what I did:

I edited the Makefiles and adjusted these values:

CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -m32 $(debug)
LIBS=-L/your/lib32/directory/

In the lfduke directory there is something in the LIBS variable that must be appended to the value I gave here. Then I had to search for the correct libraries. I already had a few, and I have a edgy i386 version on this pc, so I could combine those. Then before running, if you don't want to install the libs in your /usr/lib32 directory, you have to adjust your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to include your win32 libs (in terminal):

export LD_LIBRARY=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/your/lib32/directory

Happy Duking!
