Heretic II for Linux ============================ Patch 1.06a - Dynamic Version This is the dynamically linked version of the Heretic II game binary, as of version 1.06a of the game. This binary is thus smaller than the normal static binary, and it depends upon the presence of the following shared libraries : libsmpeg-0.3.so.0 libSDL-1.1.so.0 libesd.so.0 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libpthread.so.0 libdl.so.2 libm.so.6 libc.so.6 libaudiofile.so.0 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 This binary is compiled for GNU libc 2.1 ONLY and it is NOT officially supported by Loki. The purpose of this special release is to allow developers to use their own custom versions of some of those libraries with the game. GETTING ADDITIONAL SHARED LIBRARIES =================================== Most of the required libraries are part of all standard Linux distributions (this binary was built on a Red Hat 6.1 system). However, you may need to get those libraries separately at the following locations : - SDL 1.1 : http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/download-1.1.html - SMPEG 0.3 : http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3 The version of SDL used by this patch is 1.1.3, which is currently only available from CVS: http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/cvs.html INSTALLING THIS PATCH This patch applies against an installation of the full game ALREADY UPGRADED TO THE STATIC 1.06a PATCH. You need to apply all previous patches before applying this patch. Just run the script by typing the following from the command line : sh heretic2-dynamic-1.06a-x86.run It will prompt you for the installation path of the game. If different from the default (/usr/local/games/heretic2), type the name of the directory where you installed the game. TECHNICAL SUPPORT This dynamic patch is NOT officially supported.
