_Hmm, ain’t got time to play with myself!_ Next up is Duke Nukem 3D! The website of EDuke32 recommends building from source. Okay, so be it. 🙂 Make sure you have a valid copy of DUKE3D.GRP! ![20180820_015111](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/1X/c6c37722e4560faaf6ab82bb7e22c6e82de91588.jpeg) 1. Install these dependencies: ```auto sudo apt update && sudo apt install libflac-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libvorbis-dev libvpx-dev ``` 1. Download the latest EDuke32 source files (this will create directory **./svn.eduke32.com/** ): ```auto wget -r --no-parent https://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32/ ``` 1. Go to the source files: ```auto cd svn.eduke32.com/eduke32/ ``` 1. Build it! ```auto make ``` _What are you waiting for, Christmas?_ 1. Wait at least **20 minutes**. Be patient when it shows ‘Linking’ operations. These two just take long: ```auto Linking eduke32... Linking mapster32... ``` It should now have created two files; **eduke32** and **mapster32**. 1. Make a new game folder ‘Duke3D’: ```auto mkdir ~/games/Duke3D ``` 1. Copy the **file** eduke32 to this folder: ```auto cp eduke32 ~/games/Duke3D ``` 1. Copy your purchased DUKE3D.GRP also to this folder! 2. Create the launch script: ```auto cd ~/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell/ echo 'cd ~/games/Duke3D' > 'Duke Nukem 3D.sh' echo './eduke32' >> 'Duke Nukem 3D.sh' ``` 1. Clean up: ```auto rm -r ~/svn.eduke32.com ``` 1. Reboot! Set the controls in-game! _Let’s rock!_ ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/1X/66d9a058047cd1c94c8e8b10e88f401ffbaf8e48.png) ---

I’ve got it working! Runs very smoothly although the sound is a bit choppy. It might be resolved by turning down the sample rate and number of voices in the settings. Oh, and for anyone trying this out… Do not touch the display settings. If you do, the game will instantly render in 640x480 and you can’t get rid of that setting. Only way is to go into you settings file using SSH and changing it to 320x240 manually again. So with all that said, let’s rock! Very awesome to play this classic again! Thanks for setting this up, @Oet ! ---

For people who directly want to correct their resolution, run these: ```auto sed -i 's/^ScreenWidth.*/ScreenWidth = 320/' ~/.config/eduke32/eduke32.cfg sed -i 's/^ScreenHeight.*/ScreenHeight = 240/' ~/.config/eduke32/eduke32.cfg ``` ---

How do you got your controls mapped? I tried to map em myself but I can’t seem to unmap so I got some awkward presses happening lol ---

Press your ‘start’ button and press the desired button after. This works as long as you don’t remap your ‘start’ button of course. 😉 ---

Thanks for the tutorial. It was very clear, and the game runs smoothly. I put the sample rate to the minimum, and turned up voices to the max, and haven’t noticed any choppiness in sounds so far doing that. Any recommendations on how you setup the controls? I’ve only ever played duke3D with both a mouse and keyboard, and I cant decide how to set it up optimally for the gameshell ---

I tried this 3 times and keep getting errors during the build… Followed it several times… Made sure I had everything type right, not sure why it’s not working!

Can you try the first line again and show us the output from that? It should have installed vpx as the last entry on that line. ---

You could look if libvpx-dev is installed: ```auto $ dpkg -l | grep libvpx-dev ii libvpx-dev:armhf 1.6.1-3+deb9u1 armhf VP8 and VP9 video codec (development files) ``` If you do not see the output you should install it: ```auto $ sudo apt install libvpx-dev ``` and retry building. Step 1 of the tutorial has a scrollbar. Move it to the right. 🙂 ---

Is anyone able to still get eduke32 to compile correctly? It compiles with errors for me. I’ve tried redownloading and making it several times with the same outcome. When I try and run the resulting eduke32 I get a “Segmentation fault” error. Any ideas? ---

They introduced something incompatible in December. [November](https://dukeworld.com/eduke32/synthesis/20181118-7241/eduke32_src_20181118-7241.tar.xz): no segmentation fault. [December](https://dukeworld.com/eduke32/synthesis/20181207-7242/eduke32_src_20181207-7242.tar.xz): segmentation fault. Furthermore, eduke32 seems to boot the setup menu now instead of the game. The best way forward is for me to make a new stable tag for the GameShell, fixing those new changes. I will first have to pinpoint the difference between November and December. You can of course take the November build and `make` it, but you will still have to deal with this setup menu somehow. ---

Wow… thanks for figuring this out! I am going to give the November build a shot and see what it does. Is there a ForceSetup = 1 setting in cfg file that can be changed to a 0 by chance? [Next page](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/lets-play-duke-nukem-3d/1429.md?page=2)
