Compiling EE on Lunix

Hello.

I've got the latest ee3.35.92-src, and am trying to compile on Ubuntu 9.04.

I've installed sdl-mixer1.2-dev and sdl-net1.2-dev, and the autogen script appears to work fine.

When I try to make, it gets to d_dialog and errors.

As in the linked thread, either remove those files from the build, or check out the latest SVN revision from our SVN repo at http://mancubus.net/svn/hosted/eternity/trunk/ to get the recently added fix for it.

This was a minor oversight that occurred right before the previous release, caused by some dead code suffering bit rot. We have no current active maintainer for the Linux build and so we have to rely on users to find problems like this for us :/

Cool, thanks, svn compiles great :)

This is a really cool port, wish I'd tried it earlier. It's so good to have r_swirl again :)

I compiled version 3.35.92 'NEKHBET' from the SVN repository and it works great. I also generated a .deb package for Ubuntu just in case it might come in handy, but anyone using it would probably need lindirs.sh from the source package anyway.

Thanks Quasar!
