How to compile and install egoboo on Debian/Ubuntu Linux.
(This should work on other linux systems, but the packages (if any) might be different)

Step 1: Make sure you have these packages, and if you don't install them:
* libsdl-image1.2-dev
* libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
* libsdl1.2-dev
* libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
* build-essential

Step 2: Untar the source code.
* Either use a graphical interface or type: tar -xzf egoboo-<version>.tar.gz

Step 3: Open a console (or terminal) and cd to the game directory in the main egoboo folder.
* cd ~/egoboo-<version>/game (Assuming that the directory is in your home folder)

Step 4: Compile the source.
* make -f Makefile.unix

Step 5: Install Egoboo as root. Type:
* sudo make -f Makefile.unix (Ubuntu)
* su -c 'make -f Makefile.unix' (Debian)

Step 6: Get and untar the data.
* Get the egoboo-data-<version>.tar.gz
* Untar it using a graphical interface or using 'tar -xzf egoboo-data-<version>.tar.gz

Step 7: Install the data.
* cd egoboo-data-<version>
* Do specific install steps:
Ubuntu:
* sudo mkdir /usr/share/egoboo
* sudo cp -r * /usr/share/egoboo
Debian:
* su
* mkdir /usr/share/egoboo
* cp -r * /usr/share/egoboo
* exit

Step 8: Create a menu item. (Optional)
** TODO!

Step 9: Start Egoboo! (Mandatory!)
* Either use your menu item or type 'egoboo'.
* Enjoy!
