random notes about linux compilation: 

0) If you're gentoo user, try ebuild located at 
	http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172772

1) This game must be built with scons build system, no matter you like it or not. You 
have no choice. Autotools & family is stupid crap and I hope it'll die soon. 

2) build requirements (you need development packages for this libraries too, 
consult your distro's documentation for details): 

	`) g++ (at least 3.x, 4.x recommended)
	a) SDL >= 1.2.10 (you can use any version lower down to 1.2.5. 
                                         dont report bugs if you do so)
	b) SDL_image 	 (PNG support required)
	c) libvorbisfile, libvorbis and family
	d) expat - XML parsing library
	e) zlib
	f) lua 5.1 (maybe 5.0, not tested)
	g) smpeg - SDL mpeg1 library (for campaign preview movies)
	h) OpenGL headers file (usually from the Mesa project)

4) you could add something like this in 'options.cache' file 
(located in trunk/ directory): 

CCFLAGS = ['-O', '-march=YOUR_CPU', '-mtune=YOUR_CPU']
CXXFLAGS = ['-O', '-march=YOUR_CPU', '-mtune=YOUR_CPU']

//for debian-based systems(i.e. ubuntu) you could use the following command 
to install all dependencies: 
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ scons libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libexpat1-dev zlib1g-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libsmpeg-dev mesa-common-dev 

3) For the red-eyed linux addicts who definitely want to install our cute little game into system: 
	a) start scons prefix="/usr/local" 
	b) also you could specify lib_dir, plugins_dir and resources dir to override $prefix/lib $prefix/lib/btanks and $prefix/share defaults
	c) sudo scons install
