So is anybody excited about the upcoming Quake3 source release? Who will be first to generate an amd64 ebuild?

| Will this mean that the game is free? |

| If it's like Q1 and Q2 the code is (F)ree, but the media (ie players, textures, levels) are not. The media of the demo versions are distributable. |

| Well since this is the AMD64 forum anything thinking about trying to port it to x86_64? |

| Hmm, i figured if they released the source code, they might as well make the game free. |

I compiled the code to be 64bit with these settings ( in .../code/Construct ) and had no problems:
Code:
$BASE_CFLAGS = $COMMON_CFLAGS . '-DNDEBUG -O6 -march=k8 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fstrength-reduce ';
$BSPC_BASE_CFLAGS = $BASE_CFLAGS . '-DLINUX -DBSPC -Dstricmp=strcasecmp ';
However i did compile it on my 32bit system so im not sure whether its just compiling it as a 32bit binary anyway... I will mirror the archive of the compiled source code if anyone wants to see.

| Elim: Im pretty sure its compiling it as 32bit, I havnt heard of anyone able to get it to compile on 64bit yet. This is mainly due to all the x86 asm code. |

| Ya I saw that. But that means replacing the asm with C/C++ first. |

Sounds to me like there's C/C++ sections for every bit that's written in ASM, just needs to be flagged back in.
Of course, I'm speculating, just like everyone else |

Do a
Immediately after the unzip and there aren't that many true x86 asm files. Compile q3a and plenty of psuedo asm files appear. Does the compiler translate (some) c to intermediate low level code? |
