« on: June 01, 2020, 20:10:23 »
Hi everyone
First of all excuse me for my english.
I just installed odamex in Linux Mint 19.3 using the Repository of the "DRD Team Debian" (you cand fin the instructions in this link: http://debian.drdteam.org/)
However, after installing odamex and timidity, i cant run it (odamex)
I get this error message in the terminal:  "Illegal instruction (core dumped)"
What can i do?
Thanks to you all

My best guess is that you're running a build that isn't compatible with your system architecture like a 64-bit build on a 32-bit system. Also, it looks like the most recent Odamex version that drdteam offers is 0.8.1: http://debian.drdteam.org/pool/multiverse/o/odamex/

You'll need Odamex 0.8.3 to connect to servers so you will want to compile the binary from the source. We have pretty good instructions here: https://odamex.net/wiki/Compiling_using_CMake#Linux
By building the binary yourself, you'll be assured that the binary is compatible with your system architecture.

Good luck!

Sorry i just found it.
I having no problem with client. It runned doom2 just fine. Very interesting source port, the music sounds great.

But im still having problem with odamex launcher. Whenever i try to join to game nothing happens.
This the result of the terminal:
execvp(/home/camilo/Downloads/odamex-0.8.3/build/odalaunch/odamex, -connect, 74.91.112.85:10671, -waddir, /home/camilo/Downloads/odamex-0.8.3/build/odalaunch:) failed with error 2!

-waddir is telling odamex that your wads are located in the /build/odalaunch directory. You might want to look at your paths in the configuration menu to make sure the wad paths are pointing to the appropriate locations

Yeah, I've dabbled with LinuxMint and Ubuntu a little, and that folder misplacing issue is relatively common, it's not the first time I have to go search for things I had installed "correctly" - or so I thought - only to find them in another folder, which, of course, messed with the function of the program.
