Heretic on Sharp Rom

From OESF

I wrote this guide because I had alot of trouble finding the right SDL to make it work. This is on the Sharp Rom & Cacko. It may differ for other Roms.

Packages I installed

These can be found under [Zaurus Spy ORG]

• libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20050731_arm.ipk
• heretic-engine_1.0.4-2_arm.ipk
• heretic-demo_1.2-3_arm.ipk
• libSDL-mixer_1.2.5cvs-1_arm.ipk
• libSDL-net_1.2.5cvs-1_arm.ipk

I'm not sure if Heretic needed these specifically, but a lot of other games do

• libmad_0.15.0b-zports-0_arm.ipk
• zlib_1.1.2_arm.ipk

This is enough to get the Heretic Demo game running (first 9 levels).

If you own the full game, you can copy your heretic.wad to /home/QtPalmtop/share/heretic If space is an issue, you can copy it to one of the cards and link to it here.

For example:

$ mkdir /mnt/cf/heretic

$ cp heretic.wad /mnt/cf/heretic

$ cd /home/QtPalmtop/share/heretic

$ ln -s /mnt/cf/heretic/heretic.wad heretic.wad
