Unfortunately upstream says the v2.53 and newer builds are not working properly on Linux.

Also their public guide for building on Linux is very outdated and sketchy.

So for now I haven't tried to build this application from source.

You can place additional quests in your ~/.zelda-classic folder, get them for example from here: http://www.purezc.net/index.php?page=quests&sort=rating

I have been able to compile the latest git version successfully without much hassle!

The only weird thing was having to copy the two .sig files from ./src/metadata to ./src/metadata/sigs.

I then followed the instruction on the documentation, and all went apparently well:

cp src/metadata/*.sig src/metadata/sigs
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build

The compiled output will then complain about missing configuration files, so there's one extra step involved:

cd build
cp -r ../resources/{base_config/{zc.cfg,zcl.cfg},modules,docs,sfx.dat} .

That seems to do the trick and run the latest version.

Oh, sorry, I marked the package as outdated because I didn't know that it was a pre-compiled package. I recommend that the name be changed to zelda-classic-bin.

Great news, will look into this and provide an update soon.

Zelda classic now has real download links: http://www.zeldaclassic.com/download/100/ also lib32-libxpm is no longer required (got it running just fine without it)
