Here's yet another build script

I made this because others seemed too complex, and didn't cross-compile for windows(except the one in nexuiz svn)

How to use:
Download here
Unpack
Run

Code: Select all

chmod +x build_nex
./build_nex --update-svn (requires plenty of hd space)
./build_nex --build

That will build darkplaces and nexuiz svn, and put them into a folder called Nexuiz-buildYYYYMMDD

It also has a config file, look in it for more options

How to cross-compile for windows:
This is a bit more tricky, install your distribution's cross-compiling tools, then find the corresponding binaries and replace the ones in the config file
NOTE: For opensuse, this is already configured, just install the packages from the CrossToolchain:mingw repository

After that, just run './build_nex --ccwin32' to build for linux and windows

NOTE: This doesn't support ppc

Ignoring the fact that by now there are enough build scripts to use a different one each day

Didn't you forget about fteqcc? Or did you just not mention it? (I have not tried the build script, as i'm happy with what i use currently). Nexuiz from svn needs a really uptodate fteqcc to be able to compile right.

A 32bit binary of a snapshot is included in the tarball, and ppc isn't supported

Well it should not be hard to add fteqcc checkout/update/compile to your script and thats more save then just using a snapshot which could become outdated.
