Installing prboom-plus on Linux is a lot of fun. This is an extended source port of Doom that allows the use of extra line types from Boom.
I downloaded the source from GitHub.

Then navigate to the proper directory and then run cmake to configure the build.

As long as you have libmad, libogg and libvorbis, this should be sufficient to run prboom.
Then run make to build the source code.

If this is successful, you will get a compiled binary.

After all of this, I could run prboom-plus and play my map. This worked just fine. The music does not work, as I did not have FluidSynth installed, but this does run. I had the Doom2.wad in the current directory, so this was able to be used by prboom.
