I decided to have another go at building
Nazi Zombies Portable 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.
../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, strippedNot a big problem, on Debian we can supplement
fteqcc out of the the Debian archive. And then change the qc-compiler-gnu.sh script to use that instead:
FTEQCC=/usr/bin/fteqccAnd remove the relative paths for fteqcc calls as it no longer uses the project-supplied x86 binaries:
$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:
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. Usually stuff in C is a lot more straightforward than this.
