Launching systemshock built with mingw fails about systemshock HOT 5 OPEN

Offending line from the lowermost frame:

from systemshock.

Are there any error messages before the crash? The game is trying to load resources from res/data/gamescr.res at that point. Is the Linux build working with the same res directory?

from systemshock.

OK, I see the same crash when trying to start without the res directory. Most likely you forgot to copy it.

The game should exit at the first critical error, but that code is currently commented out:

from systemshock.

We should probably do a sanity check on startup where we look to see if the directory exists and can at least load some kind of data from it like a known string from cybstrng.res.

from systemshock.

I think the existing message is clear enough:
WARN resfile.c:145: ResOpenResFile: can't open file: res/data/cybstrng.res

The game should just exit at that point instead of continuing as if nothing had happened.
