Wolfenstein on x86_64

[Louis Garcia]

I would like to play this game on my new x86_64 box. Since this is a
32bit game I would assume I would need mesa i386 packages. Any this else
I should be aware of?

-Thanks

you should be able to find out the dependencies using ldd
/path/to/game/binary
if you are missing something that should show up there.

a wild guess: the list might go something like, stdc++, gcc, ...
FWIW, I used to play Quake Wars on F8. was pretty awesome :)
have fun

I got the game running except for sound, I don't hear anything. I
believe wolfenstein uses oss and /dev/dsp is present. Is there a i386
compat package for oss?

-Thanks

I don't know if this info is current, but on an F7 x86_64 box, I 
followed the instructions on this page to get sound working:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Quake_3#Sound

Specifically, I did:

echo "wolfsp.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
    echo "wolfsp.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
    echo "wolf.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
    echo "wolf.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss

Are you guys talking about Return to Castle Wolfenstein? I have the 
original CD with the Windows binary here. Where do I get the Linux 
binaries? Can I run it with the data files from the Windows CD?

For every game published by id Software or Activision, you can
download the Linux installer from the Internet without extra cost. It
uses the media files from the windows CD/DVD while installing the
game.

I haven't looked through the page, but this looks like it.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

I get up to this point. I think some other program has a lock on this
device. Since esd is not installed I'm thinking pulseaudio? Should
killing pulseaudio release /dev/dsp?

Startup messages from Wolf:

------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Invalid argument
Could not open /dev/dsp
------------------------------------

Usually these games don't interact well with pulseaudio.
For Quake Wars to make it work I had to use this,
$ /path/to/game/binary +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set s_numberOfSpeakers2

Maybe you can try something similar. The game forums should be able to
help you better in this.

Good luck.

I've tried this but my system does not have /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
The module that provides this file is built into the kernel so I have no idea.
The other one is present (pcm0c).
