Tremulous on AMD64
« 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.

Ok let's plan it out. Asva, you are nub, go sit on rets, I will build, you two go feed like hell, you go pwn their asses, and everyone else camp in the hallway, roger?

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.

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.
