vkquake fails to start #604

Closed un4va1l4bl3 closed 1 year ago

I'm using Arch linux and since vkquake 1.22.1, the game fails to run from the application menu or if I type vkquake in a terminal I get this error: 

QUAKE ERROR: W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad

 Basedir is: /home/carp

The game only runs with " vkquake --basedir ~/.vkquake " Was there a change made to the source code that caused this?

Here is the package on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vkquake

This never worked. You either run from the Quake directory or you have to specify basedir.

I suspect this is because in 1.22.1 vkquake on AUR changed build system from using make (which had DO_USERDIRS=1 specified in PKGBUILD) to meson.

@Novum is there a way to do "DO_USERDIRS=1" for meson build?

Novum commented 1 year ago

Honestly I never looked at that. That was an import from QuakeSpasm. Sure, you can do compile defines in meson.

8875ada7dfe2809f4fead2f3881749f231961005 adds a meson option for this, syntax would be meson setup -D do_userdirs=enabled builddir

Thank you for looking into the issue.
