Zandronum Server on FreeBSD

Warning: This guide hasn't been updated since 2016 and probably won't work on newer versions on FreeBSD.

Compiling

• Install dependencies

pkg install sdl sqlite3 openssl cmake python3 mercurial

If you're building Zandronum 3.x or higher:

pkg install gcc5 && export cc=gcc5 && export CXX=g++5

If you're building Zandronum 2.x or lower:

pkg install gcc && export CC=gcc48 && export CXX=g++48

• Create your working dir:

mkdir zabuild && cd zabuild

• Clone the repo:

hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable && cd zandronum

• Optionally, checkout the latest stable release:

hg update ZA_3.1

• Append this line after the other #includes near the top of src/sdl/i_system.cpp (see Issue 2815: Include <sys/wait.h> in sdl/i_system.cpp):

#include <sys/wait.h>

• Generate the CMake files

mkdir ../build && cd ../build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSERVERONLY=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fpermissive" ../zandronum

• Build it

make -j$(nproc)

• Assuming it all went well, you should have these files in your current directory:
  • zandronum-server
  • zandronum-server.debug
  • zandronum.pk3
  • skulltag_actors.pk3
