(gl)heretic port for FreeBSD:

This provided the hint to compile glheretic on SuSE 8.x instead of 9.1 to make it work on SuSE 9.1:

<code>
This code is based on a recent patch to glheretic needed to make
heretic work correctly when compiled using gcc-3.3.*:
</code>
Source: [[https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/programming@lists.opensuse.org/thread/ALALQNXMCZBYW53WEOT2YNYVLT66XL3C/|SuSE-9.0 gcc-3.3.1 optimization turns off important warning]]


===openSUSE 11.2 (x86)===

Tried the glheretic 1.2 compiled on SuSE 8.2 on openSUSE 11.2 x86.

glheretic requires a heretic.wad present next to it. \\
I symlinked the blasphem.wad from [[https://github.com/Blasphemer/blasphemer/|GitHub - Blasphemer/blasphemer]] to heretic.wad to test.

musserver reported /dev/sequencer missing. \\
This required loading the snd-seq-oss kernel module with:
<code>
modprobe snd-seq-oss
</code>
Source: [[https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=14228|archlinux Forums - Multimedia and Games - /dev/sequencer does not exist --- Found a fix for this !!!!!]]

./gleheretic could not find sndserver and musserver:
<code>
(...)
I_Init: Setting up machine state.
sh: sndserver: command not found
sh: musserver: command not found
</code>

Had to extend the PATH environment variable with the directory were sndserver and musserver were:
<code>
export PATH=$PATH:/home/bas/games/heretic/glheretic
</code>

glheretic now starts, shows a black screen for a second, and then exits:

[SDLGLdrv/init] OpenGL driver doesn't support paletted textures
Segmentation fault
/home/bas/games/heretic/glheretic/musserver: error reading mesg. pipe
</code>

At first glance it seemed to be that the ATI Radeon X700 mobile GPU in this (Acer Pentium M) laptop with OpenGL driver 1.5 Mesa 7.6 (DRI R300 Project) does not support palletted textures. \\
[[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/662440/palette-animation-in-opengl|stackoverflow - Palette Animation in OpenGL]] mentions that paletted textures are non-existent on "pre-shader-age" graphics cards.

But after looking at the code (opengl/gl_init.c) that is not what kills it, it just disables paletted textures.

The "Segmentation fault" is what ends the program. That should have been obvious to me the first time.

The "musserver: error reading mesg. pipe" is not involved, as disabling music by disabling MUSSERVER in Makefile and recompiling makes the musserver error disappear, but the Segmentation fault remains.

In short: glheretic 1.2 requires (major) rework to work on newer Linux distributions and GNU C Compilers.
