Install these packages if you don't have them already
Open a console, go to your quakeforge directory, and enter the following commands:
chmod u+x bootstrap make the bootstrap file executable ./bootstrap prepare for autoconf configuration ./configure create automake files for QuakeForge make compile quakeforge binaries su -c "make install" (be prepared to enter your root password)
Corel Linux users may need to add the --disable-xmms configure option:
./configure --disable-xmms
If either of the make commands fail because of errors, try adding the -k option:
make -k su -c "make -k install"
