OpenTyrian with SDL for Slacko and Carolina

I really really REALLY miss playing an older game I learned to love back in the really early days of the Internet -- TYRIAN.
Tyrian was made by a company called Epic MegaGames. Epic Megagames became Epic Games (of Unreal Tournament and Gears of War fame) shortly after releasing Tyrian2000 in 1999. As a side note, Epic Games is headquartered within an hour's drive of me, according to Wikipedia -- they're in Cary, NC (USA) and I'm in Siler City -- small world and all that jazz.
Turns out that someone has released an earlier version of Tyrian (TYRIAN 2.1) as freeware. Now there is a F|OSS version called OPENTYRIAN.
OPENTYRIAN is here --> https://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/
Can someone compile and make a *.pet of it for me?
I'd prefer it to work with Slacko 5.3.3 -- someday, SOMEDAY I'll migrate my laptop over to jejy69's GNOME 2.32 'Petit Pois' puplet, which uses that version of Slacko.
