FreeCiv is a civilization clone, and a great turn based strategy game.
Compiled on Akita, should work on most recent pups.
Released 8th December, 2012
This is a really great game! One of my all-time favourites..

Dependencies: (NOT needed in Akita)
Ideally, get the needed packages from your Puppys repository.
This package might need: SDL, SDL_image, iconv
If sound is not enabled, try installing SDL_mixer.
Try running `freeciv-gtk` in the terminal, before you install these deps.
Or run this in the terminal:
Code: Select all
ldd `which freeciv-gtk` | grep found
Compile Options:
This one has been compiled to run as root, no need to load it up as a non-privileged user, such as 'fido' or 'spot'.
Thanks to Karl Godt for the tip.
