Title: Tremulous on AMD64
Post by: ::ThePredator on January 21, 2008, 10:43:34 pm

What is the easiest way to run Tremulous under Linux natively on an AMD64 system? Do I need to build it myself or is there a build that I can download?

the easiest way is probably grab the installer or .zip from tremulous.net, then replace tremulous.x86 with the .x86_64 client from trem-servers.com, but they do add a few patches to their client that probably shouldn't be there.

HOWTO: Tremulous on AMD64/x64 (ubuntu): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-234063.html
Gentoo: http://gentoo-portage.com/games-fps/tremulous
Suse: http://packman.links2linux.com/package/tremulous

Other distros might have it as well. check your package manager.

any distro-packaged 64 bit tremulous client will run slowly compared to a 32 bit client or to the trem-servers 64 bit client.

And thanks for moving this to the appropriate section...

I usually checkout a recent revision from SVN and run a backport patch on it then compile. Works great on my x86_64 AMD Linux system.
