Can't run C++ version on Linux

[angelic]

./Legacy -opengl -nocheckwadversion -iwad /usr/local/games/doom/wads/doom.wad

I can start Doom, select options to start a new game, but it bombs out with the following in the stderr.txt file:

Error: FileCache::GetNumForName: XDOOM not found!

Also, if I go into the options, the selection indicator appears as a little red dot at the top left of the screen, and I have to guess which option I'm selecting based on the number of times I've pressed up or down.

You need to create this with the d2h prog in 'tools' subdir and (IIRC) doom2hexen.txt in 'resources'.

Then create a subdirectory, place the binary lump there and include it with '-file dirname'.

That's one way to do it, but not necessary.
For convenience, I included a pre-generated XDOOM lump in the file legacy_merge.wad (included in the 150prealpha1 zipfile).
You just need to merge legacy_merge.wad into your legacy.wad (not the other way around!).

For the next release, I'll include a full, working legacy.wad.

BTW, when testing the unstable Legacy versions, you can keep the modified legacy.wad in the same directory as the executable.

It's alright, I sent him a working one.

You can get it off of Doom Legacy's CVS repository. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/doomlegacy/ for more info.
