== Compiling ==
* Install dependencies
<pre>
pkg install sdl sqlite3 openssl cmake python3 mercurial
</pre>

If you're building '''Zandronum 3.x or higher''':
<pre>
pkg install gcc5 && export cc=gcc5 && export CXX=g++5
</pre>

If you're building '''Zandronum 2.x or lower''':
<pre>
pkg install gcc && export CC=gcc48 && export CXX=g++48
</pre>

* Create your working dir:
<pre>
mkdir zabuild && cd zabuild
</pre>

* Clone [https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable the repo]:
<pre>
hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable && cd zandronum
</pre>

* Optionally, checkout the latest stable release:
<pre<noinclude></noinclude>>
hg update ZA_{{LatestVersion}}
</pre<noinclude></noinclude>>

* Append this line after the other <code>#include</code>s near the top of <code>src/sdl/i_system.cpp</code> (see {{Issue|2815|Include <sys/wait.h> in sdl/i_system.cpp}}):
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
#include <sys/wait.h>
</syntaxhighlight>

* Generate the CMake files
<pre>
mkdir ../build && cd ../build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSERVERONLY=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fpermissive" ../zandronum
</pre>

* Build it
<pre>
make -j$(nproc)
</pre>

* Assuming it all went well, you should have these files in your current directory:
** <code>zandronum-server</code>
** <code>zandronum-server.debug</code>
** <code>zandronum.pk3</code>
** <code>skulltag_actors.pk3</code>
