Building from Source

Compiling Quetoo is recommended for developers and mappers. The engine builds on macOS, Linux, BSD, and Windows (MinGW cross-compile or Visual Studio).

Dependencies

• ObjectivelyMVC
• PhysicsFS
• OpenAL
• libsndfile
• glib2
• ncurses

Build Steps

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jdolan/quetoo.git
cd quetoo

# Generate build system
autoreconf -i

# Configure and build
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

Installing Game Data

The engine requires game data from a separate repository:

git clone https://github.com/jdolan/quetoo-data.git
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/quetoo-data/target /usr/local/share/quetoo

Level Editing

Quetoo supports TrenchBroom for level editing. The map compiler (quemap) compiles .map files into the BSP format used by the engine:

quemap -bsp mymap.map    # BSP tree generation
quemap -vis mymap.bsp    # Visibility calculation
quemap -light mymap.bsp  # Lighting and voxel assignment

Licensing
