Below are the instructions for building the Quake3 (id tech 3) game engine for BlackBerry QNX based platforms (PlayBook). The game engine source code included in this repository was ported from the open-source (under GPL license) directly from id software. The Quake3 maps/data files are not covered under the open-source agreement and must be provided by the developers wishing to use the code.

Run cmd.exe and execute the following commands:
> cd [bbndk]-- where [bbndk] is where the QNX NDK was installed (i.e. C:\bbndk-2.0.0)> bbndk-env[.bat/.sh]> cd [Quake3]/qnx-- where [Quake3] is the directory where Quake3 was extracted to> make -
Following this, the relevant binaries should reside in the following subdirectories:
-
[quake3]/qnx/nto/arm/o.le.v7/quake3 (Release)
