Unangband Ubuntu install?

[Whelk]

I'm still learning how to install things in Linux. I got Vanilla to install with a ./configure, make, and make install just fine. However, I'm having trouble with Unangband. I downloaded the source but can't seem to get a configure or make to run. I'm on Ubuntu Lucid. Any advice?

This should work:

cd src
make -f Makefile.std clean
make -f Makefile.std
cd ..
./unangband

Makefile.std currently is set to only use the gcu front end; if you want to use the x11 front end, remove the # from the start of the line with #SYS_x11.

Maybe you will need to issue a

find . -type f -exec touch {} \;

in the source tree. I had a problem before when gcc complaint about files being written in future. Also i think it still compiles them the messages where anoying.

The above compile options from Nick will get you an unangand executable with the lib-directory directly attached. So you can put it almost everywhere (good place may be: $HOME/unangband/).

Thanks both for the advice. Seemed to work. Now I just need to figure out how to set traps to effect the direction I want.
