Compiling the quake3 1.32b source

[Quake3Player]

I am trying to compile the q3 source from idsoftware's website and was curious if anyone here has compiled it successfully. When I run ./unix/cons -- release it errors out saying it can't find q3lcc. In looking through the folders I also can't locate a q3lcc executable. Does anyone know where I can obtain this file? Thanks for your help.

The pristine source needs quite a lot of patching to get it to compile, let alone run. But check out http://ioquake3.org/ - more specifically, http://ioquake3.org/source-codes/

Thanks but I am trying to get the original source to compile. I managed to get past the missing q3lcc by compiling the tools, however it now complains that it can't find q3cpp. Under the lcc folder when I run make cpp it says that nothing needs to be changed so I am assuming its already been built. Any suggestions?

Also, if someone has already gone through the patching and has a working copy of the source I would love to get a copy.

Well, that is what ioquake3 basically is: a patched-up VQ3, heaps of bugfixes and only one or two new features (VOIP support, direct-to-AVI recording, that's about it).

Yes but it doesn't support Punkbuster so every cheat known to man can join the server.

How is that different from the pristine source?

I see your point... I suppose it isn't.
