<h2>Check out and build from Subversion</h2>
<p>(This part assumes Windows users are using Cygwin. If you aren't,
<a href="http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/">TortoiseSVN</a> is a good client.)</p>
<ol>
<li>Change into a directory that you want the tree to be kept in.</li>
<li>Check out the source tree:<br />
<span class="shell">svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/quake3/trunk quake3</span>
<br />
(You can check out a specific revision with the -r option, like this:
<span class="shell">svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/quake3/trunk quake3 -r100</span>)
</li>
<li>Read the <a href="http://svn.icculus.org/*checkout*/quake3/trunk/i_o-q3-readme">readme</a> file. Really. Do it.</li>
<li>Compile and install Quake 3:
<ul>
<li><h3>Linux and friends</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install Quake 3 for Linux using the latest point release
installer. While the Quake3 engine is Free Software, you
still need to copy over legal PK3s like before.</li>
<li>Change into the top level directory (it contains the
<span class="shell">ui</span> and <span class="shell">code</span>
directories.)</li>
<li>Run <span class="shell">make</span>.</li>
<li>Set <span class="shell">$COPYDIR</span> to the directory
you installed Quake3 to and make the copyfiles target.
Make sure you are changed to the owner of this path (probably
root).<br />
<span class="shell">COPYDIR="/opt/quake3" make copyfiles</span></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><h3>Windows</h3>
<p>Building on Windows is slightly complicated. You can either
use Microsoft Visual C++ or MinGW. MinGW works better currently;
both methods are described in the
<a href="http://svn.icculus.org/*checkout*/quake3/trunk/i_o-q3-readme">readme</a>
you already are supposed to have read.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If everything has gone well, you should have a binary that works! If not, seek <a href="#">help</a>.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Pay your dues, contribute!</h2>
<p>If you've come up with an improvement or fixed something, we'd love to hear about it!
Firstly, <em>try</em> to make sure that the patch breaks less than it fixes. We don't
require everyone to be decorated Geniuses, but do attempt to produce a patch that you've
tested and at list sort-of understand what you're doing.</p>
<p>Not everyone who knows C knows how to use <span class="shell">diff</span> (the tool
you need to create patches with), and not everyone is making patches against the C code.
That's okay, here's the 10¢ survival guide to making patches:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create a patch between <em class="shell">oldfile</em> and <em class="shell">newfile</em>:<br />
<span class="shell">diff -u <em>oldfile</em> <em>newfile</em></span></li>
<li>Create a patch between directory <em class="shell">olddir</em> and <em class="shell">newdir</em>:<br />
<span class="shell">diff -Naur <em>olddir</em> <em>newdir</em></li>
<li>Apply a patch <em class="shell">amazing_new_feature.patch</em>:<br />
<span class="shell">patch -p0 -i <em>amazing_new_feature.patch</em></span></li>
</ul>
<p>For more information on <span class="shell">diff</span> and <span class="shell">patch</span>,
read their man-pages.</p>
<p>The prefered way to get the ball rolling on a patch is to file a <a href="http://bugs.icculus.org">bug</a>
for your patch and attach the patch to it and then send a notice to the mailing list
about it. If you're really so lazy that you can't do this, we would prefer you at least
<a href="mailto:zakk@icculus.org">mail it to zakk@icculus.org</a> rather than not do
anything.</p>
