Jedi Outcast ported to Linux in 10 days.

It hasn't been that long since Jedi Outcast was open sourced for everyone to view, edit and tinker with.

Here is a link to a developer who has ported it to Linux in 10 days and it is fully playable.  Below is the GIT repository.

Does it also contain the resource files or just the launcher like with Quake 3 and we will have to copy some stuff from CD?

I think you have to own the game in order to play it:

In order to start Jedi Outcast, the "base" folder from your original game has to be copied into the folder of the Linux binary files.

Re: Jedi Outcast ported to Linux in 10 days.

strace -e trace=file yourgameexe will probably help to show what files it expects

Re: Jedi Outcast ported to Linux in 10 days.

Ok, lib32-openal and lib32-nouveau-dri are needed. But now I get:

./jk2sp: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86dga.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The package libxxf86dga is installed and it seems as if there is no package like lib32-libxxf86dga. So what to do?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Ahhh!!!! It must be PKGBUILT! Also, I wonder if the porter will also port Academy (would be awesome)…

Anyone think this might lead there to be a steam version?

All the best,

It's running. Sadly, I can only run it in Gnome Shells "Save Graphics Mode". When I start it regular, the Mousepointer is stuck in the top-left corner and I'm not able to use controls or quit Jedi Outcast.

Re: Jedi Outcast ported to Linux in 10 days.

I can't get it work.

To build a package from AUR for lib32-libxxf86dga i need gcc-multilib installed.
Installing gcc-multilib aborts with a conflict between gcc-libs-multilib and gcc-libs.
Can't see the error at the moment.

Any ideas?

Install gcc-libs-multilib too, simple enough?
