How to get Quake running on linux / mac
This tutorial is focused on mac but exactly the same commands should work on any linux system.
You can buy Quake on gog.com
GOG provides .exe
file which obviously doesn't play nice with everything else then windows. To unpack it use innoextract
. Unfortunately brew
version segfaults during unpacking game files that's why we will need to build it from sources.
git clone https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract.git .
cd innoextract
mkdir -p build
cmake .
Now all you need to do is point to exe
file.
./build/innoextract ../../setup_quake_the_offering_2.0.0.6.exe
Just google for Quake X
or something similar. Point it to .pak
files and you're done.
