Open the files ending in _syscalls.c and change every +instance of int to long in the declaration of the syscall function pointer and +the dllEntry function. Also find the vmMain function for each module (usually +in cg_main.c g_main.c etc.) and similarly replace every instance of int in the +prototype with long. + +Note if you simply wish to run mods on a 64bit platform you do not need to +recompile anything since by default Q3 uses a virtual machine system. +Futhermore, ioq3 has an experimental JIT compiler for x86_64 which will result +in better performance. To enable this find these lines in code/Makefile: + + # experimental x86_64 jit compiler! you need as + #HAVE_VM_COMPILED = true + +..and change them to: + + # experimental x86_64 jit compiler! you need as + HAVE_VM_COMPILED = true Compiling under windows using MinGW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
