I don't want ancient versions, I want to try the latest and test them out.

How do I install EDuke32 synthesis in Linux? I run Fedora(latest version), supports sudo + YUM. Someone might as well add a repo for development snaps in YUM, would be a good idea?

There is no repo for YUM currently.

Building from source would be your way to go. Once you've set up everything,
make veryclean && svn update && make -j OPTOPT="-march=native"
or similar should give you the latest binaries at any time. (Add RELEASE=0 for debugging builds.)

[Baron_Samedi]

Well the one time I didn't get two errors trying that I added OPTLEVEL="2" just in case and it still errored once, and the game isn't ever building properly.

I also changed GCC version, no luck.

Did someone else try this?

[LeoD]

Try omitting the quotes from the command line parameters. If it still fails post your command line and the complete compiler output as attachment or between spoiler tags.

[Helixhorned]

Check out the wiki on this matter. It's usually lagging behind the latest developments a bit, though.
If something still gives trouble after following the advice on that page, post the compilation log here, perferably in a spoiler tag or as an attachment.

Damn, why haven't I noticed that wiki page?! Gonna try installing it again via source.

[Hendricks266]

Rather than only saying that "you got two errors", the only way we can help you is if you post what the errors actually are.

Given the current state of the wiki page, I would guess that you don't have the SDL2 and SDL2_mixer development packages installed. If that is the problem, I would like to know what the yum package names are so the wiki can be updated.

(A warning in advance is that you may get a crash when building with SDL2 and GTK. More on that later if you actually encounter it.)

[Kathy]

Can I post here about problem with running the game compiled from source?

You'll have to either compile WITHOUT_GTK=1, and therefore without the startup window, or compile with SDL_TARGET=1 to use SDL 1.2 instead of 2.0. At present, we haven't capitalized on any of SDL2's extended functionality, so you can safely revert to 1.2 without any compromises.

[Baron_Samedi]

K, I got it working but I don't want to go thru the same hassle every single time an update is made.

Would it theorically be possible for someone to make a RPM version, specifically of the dev version?

Thanks, compiling with SDL 1.2 solved the problem.

I use ccache (most likely available from your distro) to speed up compilation when most files have not changed. I don't think that a couple to a few dozen seconds worth of build time can be called a hassle.
