This directory contains the patch file needed to update the latest release of XDoom source to psDooM. To apply the patch, run the following command from this directory: patch -d ../ -p0 < psdoom-YYYY.MM.DD-patch substituting the file's release date for 'YYYY.MM.DD'. In order for that command to work as listed above, you must have uncompressed and untarred the psdoom-YYYY.MM.DD-patch.tar.gz file in the right directory. You should have been in the directory above the 'xdoom' directory. In other words, the listing of the directory after extracting the file should have looked something like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38876 May 2 23:22 psdoom-2000.05.03-patch.t ar.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 May 2 23:19 psdoom-patch/ drwxr-xr-x 4 200 ftp 1024 Mar 5 13:37 xdoom/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1003075 Mar 13 17:49 xdoom-20000305.tar.gz Any other configuration will require some modification of the above patch command. Once you apply the patch, build psDooM as you would build regular XDoom. See the XDoom INSTALL file in xdoom/xdoomsrc/doc/ for instructions. In addition to the programming differences, there are changes to various XDoom Makefiles. These changes build programs called ps-*doom rather than *xdoom, and install the programs in <...root directory...>/games/psdoom/ rather than in <...root directory...>/games/xdoom/ Be sure to read the documentation in 'xdoom/psdoomdoc/' and 'xdoom/xdoomsrc/doc/'.
