The following libraries are required to compile from source:
Install instructions:
1. Extract the archive to wherever you want to install the game. It will create a directory named "galaxyhack".
2. Go into the "src" subdirectory.
3. If you have all the required libraries installed in the standard locations you might be able to compile the program just by typing "make", but then again, maybe not.
4. Either a) move the compiled "galaxyhack" out of the "src" subdirectory and into the same directory as all the game data, or otherwise edit the settings file to point to the data file location (see here), and then put the settings file in ~/galaxyhack and the binary wherever you want to.
If you have problems compiling or running the game try looking for help on the troubleshooting page or in the forum.
