 If you just want to play the game it is strongly recommended you download the Autopackage. This contains everything needed to play the game on any recent Linux distribution. It has been tested on several distributions, including Gentoo, Fedora Core, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu.

 * The makefile is called GNUmakefile rather than 'Makefile'; this seems to be the convention for GNUstep applications. If you are not using GNUmake, then you will probably need to 'make -f GNUmakefile'. However, it is recommended that you install gmake if you are using a platform (BSD) that doesn't include GNU make (it's a dependency for GNUstep anyway). The build process first builds all the Objective-C source (source code files end in '.m' which is the standard file extension for Objective-C) into the executable oolite.app/oolite and then copies the data into oolite.app/Contents.
-* A new dependency on the SpiderMonkey JavaScript v1.70 library was introduced on SVN revision 1157. This requires some attention regarding the Linux build process. The full instructions on building the game successfully with JavaScript 1.70 on Debian can be found in the following forum post:<br />http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=42188&highlight=#42188

 * As of 1.73, a new 'Makefile' has been added to the project to simplify building Oolite.  Assuming your system has all required build dependencies installed (as outlined above), you can build debug and optimised copies of Oolite with the following commands.  The included Spidermonkey dependency is automatically built as well.  For a full list of targets, use 'make -f Makefile help'.

 Several bugs have been found with gnustep-base1.19.3 which affect Oolite to a greater or lesser extent.  As older versions of several popular Linux Distributions ship with this version of GNUstep, it is highly recommended that you compile and install a known good version of GNUstep for development. gnustep-base1.18 is known to be good.  The current trunk (gnustep-base1.21.1) appears to also be ok.
