Building

More detailed information about building the game for different operating systems and different platforms can be found on the SeriousSamClassic wiki.

There are still many asserts in the engine. Most of them are irrelevant and should be removed, but while it's not done, the asserts will effectively kill the engine when triggered in the Debug build. Use Release or RelWithDebInfo build if you intend to play (automatically set as RelWithDebInfo in the build scripts).

Linux

Setting up the repository

Type this in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic.git

Copy official game data (optional)

If you have access to a copy of the game (either by CD or through Steam), you can copy the *.gro files from the game directory to the repository. (SeriousSamClassic/SamTFE is the directory of the game Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter, SeriousSamClassic/SamTSE is the directory of the game Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter)

Building (for SS:TFE and SS:TSE)

Type this in your terminal:

cd SeriousSamClassic
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
make install

If you prefer ninja, then add key -GNinja to the cmake. And replace the make command with ninja.

Ubuntu

Instead of building you can install packages from ppa by adding ppa:tx00100xt/serioussam to your system's Software Sources.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tx00100xt/serioussamclassic
sudo apt update

This PPA can be added to your system manually by copying the lines below and adding them to your system's software sources.

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/tx00100xt/serioussamclassic/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main 
deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/tx00100xt/serioussamclassic/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main

After adding ppa, run the commands:

sudo apt install serioussamclassic serioussamclassic-xplus

Gentoo

To build the game, use the ebuild included in the official Gentoo repository.
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/games-fps/serioussam
This ebuild uses the repo https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK which
additionally contains the Vulkan render. Everything else is identical to this repository.

You will also need CD images of the games Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter and
Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter.

Type this in your terminal:

echo "games-fps/serioussam -vulkan" >> /etc/portage/package.use/serioussam
emerge -av serioussam --autounmask=y

For game add-ons, use a serioussam-overlay containing ready-made ebuilds for building the add-ons.

Type this in your terminal:

emerge eselect-repository
eselect repository enable serioussam
emaint sync --repo serioussam

The list of add-ons can be found in README

Arch Linux

To build a game under Arch Linux you can use the package from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/serioussam
