tar -xJvpf SamTSE-XPLUS.tar.xz -C SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTSE

Change CMakeLists.txt

If you are building for everyone, then you need to replace -march=native to mtune=generis in the CMakeLists.txt file

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK
find . -name "CMakeLists.txt" -exec sed -i 's/-march=native/-mtune=generic/g' {} +
cd ..
cd SeriousSamAlphaRemake
find . -name "CMakeLists.txt" -exec sed -i 's/-march=native/-mtune=generic/g' {} +
cd ..

Building SamTFE, SamTSE and XPLUS on 64-bit OS:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK
mkdir build
mkdir build-xplus
cd build
cmake ..
make -j8
make install
cd ..
cd build-xplus
cmake -DXPLUS=TRUE ..
make -j8
make install

Building SamTFE, SamTSE and XPLUS on 32-bit OS:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK
mkdir build
mkdir build-xplus
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mmmx -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mmmx -DUSE_I386_NASM_ASM=TRUE ..
make -j8
make install
cd ..
cd build-xplus
cmake -DXPLUS=TRUE -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-mmmx -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-mmmx -DUSE_I386_NASM_ASM=TRUE ..
make -j8
make install

Build for SeriousSamAlphaRemake:

cd SeriousSamAlphaRemake/Sources
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTFE=TRUE ..
make ecc
make -j8

Place the resulting libraries libEntities.so and libGame.so from build/Debug into the SamTFE/Mods/SSA/Bin folder

cp -vfr Debug/libEntities.so ../../Mods/SSA/Bin
cp -vfr Debug/libGame.so ../../Mods/SSA/Bin
cd ../../../../

Game resources

To start the game, you'll need the original resurces of a licensed copy of Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

Steam version.

If you have a digital copy of the game on Steam then the resources can be found in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter/ (the default Steam game installation directory on Linux).

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK
rsync --progress -rh "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter/" SamTFE
rsync --progress -rh "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter/" SamTSE
rm -fr "SamTFE/Bin/"{*.exe,*.dll,*.EXE,*.DLL}
rm -fr "SamTSE/Bin/"{*.exe,*.dll,*.EXE,*.DLL}

GOG version.

If you bought a digital on GOG, you can unpack the resources with the innoextract CLI tool. To install innoextract via your package manager, run:

sudo apt-get install innoextract

Copy files "setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe" and "setup_serious_sam_the_second_encounter_2.1.0.8.exe" to a directory SeriousSamClassic-VK and run the following commands:

cd SeriousSamClassic-VK
innoextract --gog setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe
cp -vfr "app/"{*.gro,Levels,Help} SamTFE
rm setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe
rm -rf app
rm -rf tmp
innoextract --gog setup_serious_sam_the_second_encounter_2.1.0.8.exe
cp -vfr "app/"{*.gro,Levels,Help} SamTSE
rm setup_serious_sam_the_first_encounter_2.0.0.10.exe
rm -rf app
rm -rf tmp
rm -rf commonappdata

Physical version.

If you bought a physical copy of the game and you have an ISO of your disk, you can unpack the resources with the any archive manager. Game resources are located in the Install directory of the disk. Just copy all the *.gro files from there, as well as the Levels directory to directories SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTFE and SeriousSamClassic-VK/SamTSE, respectively, for games Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

Launching the game.

To start the game, use the script:

run_game.sh

or

run_game_hud.sh 

if you need to monitor MangoHUD.
