Journal: How to compile Quake3 VM code in Linux?

The Linux Quake3 SDK for version 1.17 is missing!

Since Loki isn't supporting quake3 anymore they have dropped all files from their site. Unfortunately this included the only known linux binary for q3lcc!

The source code for q3asm has been released (about a year ago) and with some effort it compiles under linux, but mod developing will not take place natively under linux without q3lcc.

LCC is a lightweight c compiler written by princeton university. ID used the latest version (4.1 release rcs version 4.27) but made some "slight modifications". The Polish(ed) Linux Distribution offers an rpm for lcc, but I haven't yet discovered how to make it produce quake3 asm code.

I have assurances from ttimo at id that releasing q3lcc for Linux is "on the todo list" (wether that means source or binary I'm not sure), but for the mean time does anyone have a copy of the linux q3 sdk v1.17 (with q3lcc binary included) downloaded form loki before they removed it? If there is a way for princeton standard lcc to compile quake3 asm code that would be another option.
