I can see that an sdl build is working for you so I will compare that with my own and see if anything is different. My own quakespasm (sdl and sdl2) segfaulted, but I am able to run an sdl build provided by the project at sourceforge. Hmm. :) I'm thinking I may need to -sdl and +sdl2 in the use flags, or maybe +sdl and -sdl2. I'll check that when I get a bit of free time.
Re: [gentoo-user] Gaming on gentoo
Hi, I finally had the time to test quakespasm. I tried both the binary from the project as well as the version compiled by me from the project page on github. After copying the binary into quake folder (GoG version) and making symlinks to pak0.pak and pak1.pak (filesystem is case sensitive and the software cannot handle it). It worked fine.

I had a look at it last night, and the problem is that the kernel doesn't currently store the 32-bit unicode characters which have been scrolled off the screen - just the 8-bit character glyph codes together with the 8-bit colour information. So it would triple the amount of information stored for each character position. That surely shouldn't be a problem on today's machines, though - even with FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE set to 512 kB, that would only be 1.5 MB per console. So yes, this should be doable. It's definitely more than a day's work, almost certainly less than a month's. I'll see what I can manage. > Seriously, though, it's just wonderful as it is, and we all owe you a debt. Thanks again! > -- > Regards, > Peter. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

How much ram do you have on that machine? The Gentoo install handbook has a dire warning at... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#MAKEOPTS ...that you need approx 2 gigabytes free ram for each increment in "MAKEOPTS". * Warning Using a large number of jobs can significantly impact memory consumption. A good recommendation is to have at least 2 GiB of RAM for every job specified (so, e.g. -j6 requires at least 12 GiB). To avoid running out of memory, lower the number of jobs to fit the available memory. If you have a fancy-schmancy "desktop environment" allow another 3 or 4 Gigs, especially if you're simultaneously running Chrome or calculating large spreadsheets or processing large documents. For "MAKEOPTS=-j17" you'll need at least 36-to-40 gigabytes. Hi, it's a Hetzner dedicated Server with 64GB of ram :) But now I switched to Netcup.de kvm server. --- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Jochen Kirchner eMail: jk@jk-foto.design Web: https://www.jk-foto.design
