I just want to inform that a new version of Alien vs. Predator was released for Linux and OS X:
http://icculus.org/avp/
The changelog is not available, but I want to indicate that a new version of this game has the experimental support for SDL 2, and the author used cmake to change the compilation process. Additionally, you can compile this game on Linux x86_64.
Did you notice any other changes?
AnonymousHoser published a new version of Aliens vs Predator, and I think that experimental support for AvP Classic Redux is the most interesting feature in this version of AvP:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNSvDj9rDTo#t=202
"Some work was done on the SDL2 support, namely the full screen support. There's still a lot more work required before it is stable though. Once that happens I plan on removing the SDL 1.2 support.
The OpenGL code has been changed to be compatible with OpenGL ES 1.0. The next release will require OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL ES 2.0.
AvP Classic Redux was briefly tested. One possible crash was fixed -- the original game was never intended to use such large assets, but there are likely other crashes out there."
"Appendix A: Change History
--------------------------
20150214:
OpenGL ES 1.1 compatibility
SDL2 support progress
20141225:
CMake build system
x86_64 support
Beginnings of SDL2 support"

Well, I mentioned experimental support for AvP Classic Redux which is a mod that helps to modernize this original game from 1999. I want to point out that the original game it is about 500 MB on the hard drive, but if you want to use AvP Classic Redux you will have to download above 3 GB of data:

AvP Classic Redux does not look like a game from 1999, and it won't work on the old computers.

i'd like to play as predator :D
The higher textures are one of the changes in AvP:
"This is my attempt at upgrading the graphics, sounds, and many other features without severely changing the core gameplay of the original AvP.
Many of the things I personally felt were wrong and not "movie-like" are corrected. About 99% of the game is redone with high-resolution
textures and high-poly models. Every existing multiplayer and singleplayer map is retextured, and many new mp maps as well as the
official map packs are included. Every character, weapon, HUD, etc. is replaced with extremely detailed models.
Several of the singleplayer missions have been extended, redone, or modified in some way"
