Open Arena works out of the box

For those Quake3 lovers, there's an opensource game called OpenArena with code based on Quake 3 Arena. Some of the content is also based on Quake 3 Arena.

It compiles without trouble.

To install:

Download the data and the sourecode:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/rel/081/oa081.zip
http://openarena.ws/svn/source/081/openarena-engine-0.8.1-1.tar.bz2

type gmake to build the source (I used gcc 3.4.3 shipped with OSOL)

extract the data and move it to a desired location; /usr/local/games/openarena for instance

Go back to the source directory and type:
pfexec gmake copyfiles COPYDIR=/usr/local/games/openarena
pfexec chmod a+r -R /usr/local/games/openarena

You should now be able to run it:
/usr/local/games/openarena/openarena.i386



Once I find out how to use pkgtool confidently (or at all) I'll put an IPS package together for /pending, and try to make a 64bit build supported as well.



As a side note, this is based on the ioquake3 source port, which is meant to work with the real quake 3 arena data (but the data needs to be updated, so I didn't bother messing with it). If you want to get it working on opensolaris, you'll need to remove mention of -liconv in the sunos part of the makefile since opensolaris iconv functions are included in libc, not libiconv.

It doesn't work out of the box for me, unless I'm missing a package needed to compile it.

/bin/sh: line 1: MKDIR: not found
gmake[1]: *** [makedirs] Error 127
