Thanks for making me aware of this project. Maybe I'll get to play the original game after all. :)

No problem at all!

Me when I am not a native English speaker. Should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up!
How do I install it for linux ( steam deck ) ? I got the game.gog file open, but then, I don't know what to do :/
And the github explains for windows only.
Have you tried extracting everything in game.gog into the folder where you put the TR1X files? From there you only optionally need to download the music (https://lostartefacts.dev/aux/tr1x/music.zip) and put em to the same folder, and then just run TR1X.
While the explanations are indeed more Windows focused, the advanced installation should cover Linux as well.
Thanks, I will try this.
In Linux Mint MATE 20.3, I'm getting errors basically saying I need GCC 2.32 or higher. I have GCC 2.31, and actually did find, download and compile GCC 2.32, but online tutorials say to only run GCC 2.32+ from the home directory, otherwise it'll likely break other packages short of an OS upgrade.
I'm not in any rush to upgrade past this LTS version, nor can I get TR1X to recognize whatever it needs from GCC 2.32 from the home directory.
Any advice, that hopefully doesn't involve upgrading Linux itself? I don't quite have enough free space to even consider an OS upgrade right now..
Did you try this? Maybe will work:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/your/custom/path ./TR1X
Replace with the path where "libc.so.*" is located
Ah, no I haven't tried that yet, but it sure sounds like a plan. I'm not at my computer right now, but I'll definitely try that this evening or as soon as I can.
Thanks for the advice, hope that does the trick.
If nothing else works, you can try to build it yourself.
I've created step by step instructions. You can follow it here: https://pastebin.com/bDqTBEKh
Or, if you want, download my build from here: https://filetransfer.io/data-package/3mSEIet2
Awesome! Your build worked great!
Watch for the surprise though...
