GZdoom on zorin?

I was curious, is there a version of the Doom 1/2 source port GZdoom available for Linux? If so, how would I install it?

I assume as per the official wiki:

"Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl2-dev libjpeg-dev \
nasm tar libbz2-dev libgtk2.0-dev cmake git libfluidsynth-dev libgme-dev \
libopenal-dev timidity libgl1-mesa-dev libglew-dev"

from here:

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Compile_GZDoom_on ... n.2FUbuntu

But do so AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Okay I installed the commands:

sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl2-dev libjpeg-dev \
nasm tar libbz2-dev libgtk2.0-dev cmake git libfluidsynth-dev libgme-dev \
libopenal-dev timidity libgl1-mesa-dev libglew-dev

However the rest of the instructions on that page were a little confusing, so I did some more research.
How would I uninstall those programs? I'm not having any issues but I don't think I need them now.

What I found was on the Linux Mint forums (nice distro but not as Nvidia friendly as Zorin is!)

I used these commands the forum suggested:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://debian.drdteam.org/ stable multiverse'
wget -O - http://debian.drdteam.org/drdteam.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gzdoom

Those commands installed Gzdoom in my 'opt' folder, for some reason I couldn't run the program or even copy the wad files I needed into that folder in the first place. However when I copied the Gzdoom folder to my desktop, I was able to run it just fine (works great!). Any idea what is causing that issue? I'm suspecting it has to do with folder permissions.

Edit: If you're into quake-I've found Quake Epsilon works great! http://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-epsilon-build/downloads/quake-epsilon-build-v252

Hi, I suspect you are correct - most modern GNU/Linux distros (well at least Zorin) locks down a lot of system folders to prevent issues for users down the line. To remove any package should be at command line:

Code:

sudo purge [name of package - run the application to create panel icon, make it a launcher then look at its properties to see where it is pointing to - then you will find the exact name of the application!]

Alternatively, run synaptic and see if you can find the application there - you may also want to remove any ppa you have installed that is not Canonical approved - which can generate update failure reports but nothing to be concerned about.
