Compiling for Windows

Using Ubuntu Bash

You can use the new Ubuntu Bash feature in Windows 10 to compile ezQuake for Windows.

To enable Bash for Windows, press the Start button and type Turn Windows f and select Turn Windows features on or off. Scroll down to Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta) and enable it.

Now press WINDOWS+I, go to Update & security and then to the For developers tab. Enable Developer mode.

Now press the Start button again and enter bash. Click it and install Bash.

Enter the following command to install all required prerequisites to build ezQuake:

sudo apt-get install -y git mingw-w64 build-essential

Now clone the ezQuake source code:

git clone https://github.com/ezQuake/ezquake-source.git ezquake

Now build the ezQuake executable:

EZ_CONFIG_FILE=.config_windows make

Using a Linux system

  1. Make sure you have mingw32 toolchain installed. On Arch Linux it's mingw-w64 (select complete group)

  2. Run "EZ_CONFIG_FILE=.config_windows make" (you can add -j5 to make to build in parallell. Use nbr of cpu cores +1) without the quotes.

  3. You should get an ezquake.exe :-)
