To compile and install Liquid War under Linux, you need:
- gcc, GNU autoconf and a bunch of other common programming tools 
- allegro, available at http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/
  Some users get some problem when the install the end-user version
  of Allegro (about 500Kb). The full Allegro devel package is
  required, since it includes the datafile compiler "dat".

Once you have this, type:
 autoconf
 ./configure
 make
 make install (has to be run as root or any user who can write in /usr/local)
 liquidwar

Since release 5.3.3, binaries of Liquid War for Linux are available.
These binaries are statically linked against Allegro and glibc,
so they should run on any recent Linux box that has an X server running.
So if you spend too much time compiling LW, please consider using
one of those binaries, since they should work right away.

Please report any install problem to ufoot@ufoot.org
