Thanks for the reply again!
When I compile with "BUILD_GAME_SO=1 and BUILD_GAME_QVM=0" qvms don't get
built, which I'm guessing is the point of the second option. The compilation
completes without any errors.
However when I run the Game:
./ioq3ded.ppc64 +set fs_game Mod +set sv_pure 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_cgame 0
+set vm_ui 0 +set dedicated 1 +exec something_112_respwn.cfg
The Game crashes right away. I placed the log at the end of this email.
I have several questions that I would really like some help with.
Regarding LCC compiler you kindly mentioned before:
* I couldn't find a version of it on linux. How is it being used on linux when
it is a Windows-only compiler?
* If LCC compiler is available on Linux, where can I download it? Because I am
thinking maybe the LCC compiler settings might have a problem.
Regarding the compilation of QVM files:
* I have noticed from the compilation log that they are compiled as C++ files,
and C files:
cpp: code/game/ai_main.c:2712 Could not find include file <sys/time.h>
make[2]: *** [build/release-linux-ppc64/baseq3/game/ai_main.asm] Error 1
Why is that?
In qcommon/q_shared.h, I've also written in below:
* What does this quote mean?
* time.h is included inside q_shared.h, and q_shared.h is included inside
ai_main.c. Therefore, shouldn't this allow me to use the time library?
ioquake3 general questions:
The main reason I need to solve this current problem is the following. I need a
high precision time measuring tool, such as time.h.
I am sure ioquake3 requires such tools as well, to regulate frames...etc.
* Is there a time tool I can use inside ioquake3 without the need to add
something new from the outside such as time.h?
I really appreciate this! I really need to be able to use the time library
inside ai_main.c very badly.

VM Considerations
The VM can not use the standard system headers because we aren't really
using the compiler they were meant for. We use bg_lib.h which contains
prototypes for the functions we define for our own use in bg_lib.c.
When writing mods, please add needed headers HERE, do not start including
stuff like <stdio.h> in the various .c files that make up each of the VMs
since you will be including system headers files can will have issues.
Remember, if you use a C library function that is not defined in bg_lib.c,
you will have to add your own version for support in the VM.
