Hi all, Did anyone tried to install or compile the Catacombs serie, natively, through Reflection Keen, which include All the Keens and all of the Catacomb games (Catacomb 3D, Catacomb Abyss…etc) I already have all the Keens installed but realy would love to get the Catacomb games to work natively and not with DosBox. Here is the source: > **[NY00123/refkeen](https://github.com/NY00123/refkeen/releases/tag/release-20170401)** > > Ports of Keen Dreams (based on https://github.com/keendreams/keen/ which followed a fundraising campaign), Catacomb 3-D (The Descent) and the Catacomb Adventure Series (the Catacomb ports are based... I tried compiling the source but it fail all the time. ---

For the moment, if you want to satisfy yourself, install zdoom (I posted a tutorial here on the forum [ZDOOM on GS for Brutal Doom and other mods!](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/zdoom-on-gs-for-brutal-doom-and-other-mods/3400/5)) and use a Doom II mod. Catacomb Abyss TC [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I8u2rEXQyU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I8u2rEXQyU) But no, no luck, I hope someone with deeper knowledge of compiling on Linux will try… ---

i’m quite well versed in linux but already have several dozen projects on the go. so i cannot make any sort of promises, but I will download the source and see what if anything can be done. ---

libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev were/are required. I installed them “sudo apt-get install -y libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev” and then the compile went without issue steps I took (all on my clockwork, NOTE IT MUST HAVE INTERNET TO PERFORM THIS) download source – refkeen-release-20170401.tar.gz extract – “tar -xvf refkeen-release-20170401.tar.gz” move to source directory – “cd refkeen-source-20170401\src” build the source – “make” wait… awhile and here’s the “hard” part… theres NO install scripting in the makefile. so you need to manually put the executables where you need them. I did this “sudo mv reflection-\* /usr/local/bin/” all built. – I DID NOT test them yet.and you still need to make the “launcher scripts” which i did not cover at all. ---

Cool! Yeah I can continue from here no issue. The compiling part was problematic for me but creating the launcher and sorting the files out is not a problem. Thanks again m8 I will try this tonight and report back! 🙂 ---

I think the main issue will be Input Binding. I managed to launch Catacomb Abyss but the launch menu require me to bind the controls but always state N/A. I was curious so I installed the Windows version to try and its the same issue. When I try to bind a key in the settings it always say N/A. Furthermore, it seems like it does not even use the .ini file… In game, at first you have to select Novice or Warrior, and for that, we need to bind a button to N or W… So it works well but as long as we can’t bind, we are lost. ---

So I tried to recompile a newer version of Reflection Keen. Most of the Catacomb games work with the exception of Catacomb Abyss, but, there is a lot of screen flickering on my side so its almost unplayable… I will stick with DosBox SVN for now.
