Title: Nazi Zombies Portable
Post by: Borley on March 11, 2025, 09:43:43 pm

I decided to have another go at building Nazi Zombies Portable (https://github.com/nzp-team/nzportable) starting with QuakeC portion for the game logic.

They hardcode most of their tooling for specific target architectures. For example, the build script for Linux platforms at ~quakec/tools/qc-compiler-gnu.sh sets a variable explicitly to an x86 version of the FTEQCC executable included in the repository.

Code: [Select]

../bin/fteqcc-cli-lin: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=48ccbb62862f094e0f04da54935de367c88b7c63, stripped
Not a big problem, on Debian we can supplement fteqcc out of the the Debian archive (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fteqcc). And then change the qc-compiler-gnu.sh script to use that instead:

Code: [Select]

FTEQCC=/usr/bin/fteqcc
And remove the relative paths for fteqcc calls as it no longer uses the project-supplied x86 binaries:

Code: [Select]

$FTEQCC -srcfile ../progs/csqc.src | grep -E -i "warning |error |defined |not |unknown |branches"
echo "Compiling FTE SSQC.."
$FTEQCC -O3 -DFTE -srcfile ../progs/ssqc.src | grep -E -i "warning |error |defined |not |unknown |branches"
echo "Compiling FTE MenuQC.."
$FTEQCC -O3 -DFTE -srcfile ../progs/menu.src | grep -E -i "warning |error |defined |not |unknown |branches"
echo "Compiling Standard/Id SSQC.."
$FTEQCC -O3 -srcfile ../progs/ssqc.src | grep -E -i "warning |error |defined |not |unknown |branches"

The build script calls for three python libraries; python3-colorama, python3-panda and python3-fastcrc.

python3-fastcrc isn't packaged in Debian, so I try substituting python3-crc instead. Changing the relevant bits in ~/quakec/bin/qc_hash_generator.py:

Quote

from fastcrc import crc16
to
from crc import Crc16

ctField('crc_strlen', ITY
to
ctField('Crc_strlen', ITY

etc...

It doesn't like that.

 :-\ All of the errors fail at lines for #includelist

I suspect I'm going to need to begrudgingly install python3-fastcrc through python-pip. And probably also to compile an up to date ppc64 executable of FTEQCC directly from the project's repo (https://github.com/fte-team/fteqw). Usually stuff in C is a lot more straightforward than this.
