GtkRadiant 1.5.0 Linux compile

These binaries are direct GtkRadiant 1.5.0 installations with tremulous as an option for the settings. As a result you should only have to select tremulous without all that tedious work setting the paths.

I have built some gtkradiant linux binaries from SVN revision 170 and packaged them with the tremulous game pack. The builds should work on any fairly recent linux distribution, provided you have the necessary dependencies installed. The 32-bit version has been reported to work by several people, the 64-bit version is used by myself and has been running stable for several weeks. The following games are supported:

Enemy Territory
Quake
Quake 2
Quake 3 Arena
Quake 4
Tremulous

Download

Get your version here:
gtkradiant-1.5.0-i686.tar.bz2
gtkradiant-1.5.0-x86_64.tar.bz22

If these files are out of date, try the downloads from Ingars GtkRadiant 1.5 Page or this topic on the tremulous forum.

Dependencies

You will need to have the following packages installed on your system:

X11
OpenGL
Gtk/pango/cairo
gtkglext
expat
libmhash

Installation instructions:

The included gamepacks assume your games are installed in /usr/local/games and the instructions will install gtkradiant in the directory /usr/local/games/gtkradiant-1.5.0. You can install gtkradiant anywhere you want (for example in your home directory or in /opt), but if your games or not in /usr/local/games you will have to edit the game files or symlink your games directory to /usr/local/games.

Start by going to the directory where you want gtkradiant installed and unpack the tar archive. There is no need to create a subdirectory, the files will be unpacked in a new one.

cd /usr/local/games
tar jxvf /home/ingar/gtkradiant-1.5.0-i686.tar.bz2

If your Tremulous directory is not /usr/local/games/tremulous, you will have to edit the game file. Open the file /usr/local/games/gtkradiant-1.5.0/games/trem.game in your favourite editor. Look for a line that says enginepath_linux and change it accordingly.

enginepath_linux="/usr/local/games/tremulous/"

Add a link for convenience, this way you can start radiant by executing radiant in a terminal, or with the run menu of your desktop environment.

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/games/gtkradiant-1.5.0/radiant ./

To start radiant, run radiant from a terminal:

radiant
