WAS getting a complaint that prboom.sh couldn't be found.It turns out that it needs ANOTHER wad put in to get it to work.
I happened to have the old Doom1.wad around so I put it in /media/card/usr/share/games/doom/ (prboom.wad should already be in this directory).
Then I symlinked the doom1.wad file (using Advanced file manager) to /usr/share/games/doom.
Then clicked on the Doom icon and it started up the game! (Yeah, I WAS amazed.)
I guess everything else needed for Doom is installed already in the Hentges ROM.
You can download other wads from the internet or download the shareware wad.
Hope this helps someone.

Correct. The next release will ship a "freedoom" .wad so prboom will work right out of the box.

I am running OZ3.5.3, and installed prboom and the doom wad. I checked the links for doom.wad and there was one in /opt/QtPalmtop/share/games/doom and one in /usr/share/games/doom. When I click the Doom icon on my desktop, I get a pop-up saying "Could not locate application prboom"
Anybody seen this?
Thanks,

Run it from the command line....................... see what it says.

Did you ipkg-link add prboom... or maybe 'prboom-opie'?
Start it with:
# prboom.sh
and that will add the -height 240
If that works you will have to symlink the prboom.sh and prboom to your /usr/bin if ipkg-link missed it.

Shouldn;'t need to, since I am pivoting root to the SD card (I'm getting ready to upgrade to a 1GB SD card), so root is the sd card...

I don't have either. I installed from the feed, but I don't have either prboom.sh or prboom-opie:
[root@chaffee root]# find / -name \*prboom\*
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/prboom
/usr/bin/prboom
/usr/lib/ipkg/info/prboom.control
/usr/lib/ipkg/info/prboom.list
/usr/share/games/doom/prboom.wad
The other issue is that I am pivoting root to the SD card, so I shouldn't need to ipkg-link anything. Correct?
Thanks,

/usr/lib/ipkg/info/prboom.control
/usr/lib/ipkg/info/prboom.list
/usr/share/games/doom/prboom.wad
I think you have installed the wrong prboom... there's two in the feed?
If you installed prboom-opie_2.2.6-r4_arm from the 3.5.3 feed you should have prboom and prboom.sh in /usr/bin... this one will work in your 5500.

You're right. Installing the right package sure helps...

It seems to be installed alright but my output is
"prboom v2.2.6 (http:/prboom.sourceforge.net/)
Z_Init : Allocated 8064Kb zone memory
Could not initialize SDL [No available video device]"
All the libSDL's were installed by Hentges. Is there something I am missing?
Thanks

A working prboom ships with all OZ 3.5.3 Hentges firmwares. The only thing lacking is a
.wad file. Install the .wad as tombraider explained and it will run out-of-the-box by clicking its icon.
Note: The icon launches a shellscript and not the binary directly. Launching prboom directly will fail
if you do not provide the right options.

Thanks Coredump,
so now I have
doom1.wad, doom2.wad and prboom.wad in /media/card/usr/share/games/doom/ .
All symlinked (using Advanced file manager) to /usr/share/games/doom.
I still get the same message in console when I run
prboom.sh
about No available video device.
Clicking icon still provides "Could not locat prboom.sh"
Is it a symlink issue?
Clues appreciated.
Thanks again

I'd think so, yes. The exact same setup works for me. FWIW release T2 comes with freedoom pre-installed. You may want to have a go at it.
-
Thanks for advice. I'm afraid I'm on T2 so I'll keep playing over the weekend and report back.
I get frustrated and confused that people installing the same software on the same machine in the same way get different errors.

So I flashed again and as promised it works straight of the box.
I must have installed something over the top which broke sdl.
So I have installed things in small batches and only ones that I find necessary rather than absolutely everything and kept leaving the package manager and checking that things are still working.
Now I think that I need to go and protect my loved ones from the alien horde.
Thanks,
Chas
