PDA Maze

[Technopeasant]

I was playing through some of Bill Kendrick's games the other day and wanted to try out PDA Maze.

http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/pdamaze/

The original binary gives me this error.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

bash: /home/graham/Programs/GNU-Linux/pdamaze-2001.10.05/pdamaze.snow: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I then came across this modernized port to Qt.

https://github.com/EXL/PDA_Maze

But when I try to run the binary I get this error

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

/home/graham/Programs/GNU-Linux/PDA_Maze-master/PDA_Maze.rc: line 1: IDI_ICON1: command not found

Any suggestions?

There does not appear to be any makefile or anything included for this version.

Your operating system for some reason doesn't support the format of the executable. Could be a 32/64 bit issue (or something else).

You need QMake, part of Qt.

It seems to me that the linking command is missing a proper object file.
Some file ending its name with .o or .obj.

(EDIT: It must contain the main() function. From the file PDA_MAZE.pro I think it should be main.o.)
