Thanks, updated the dependency to libjpeg.so

Changing libjpeg to libjpeg.so works as well, and it seems more correct definition for dependency.

@lighterowl Yeah, it works for me, thanks!

Change libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo to get it to build. Everything compiles and works correctly as libjpeg has meant libjpeg-turbo in Arch for a couple years now, it's just that its PKGBUILD doesn't provide libjpeg anymore as for today.

The binaries simply symlinked to /usr/bin are not working, as you describe. I might have missed something when switching to cmake. As a work around, the binaries in /usr/bin are small bash scripts to change the working directory to /opt/quake3 before launching the game.

When launching the game with the command quake3 or ioquake3 then it looks for the renderer in /usr/bin/, however, the renderers are in /opt/quake3/, along with copies to quake3 and ioquake3. When I launch the game with /opt/quake3/ioquake3 then it will see the renderer (because it looks for the renderer in the directory of the binary) and launch properly.

I think something's not right, either with the placement of the binaries and libraries, or how the libraries are referenced.

I'm getting "Failed loading ./renderer_opengl2.so: ./renderer_opengl2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

How can I fix this?

After playing for a while I got a "hunk_alloc failed" error on map load. I fixed it by typing 

seta com_hunkMegs "256"

into the console and restarting the game.
