tome (2.3.11-ah-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Modified the install paths to deploy to the FHS compliant /usr/games/tome and /var/games/tome, as we have always done * This is a major change, and includes theming. Some of the options have changed. Because of this, the manual page has been removed; there is a command line help option and in game help until the manual page is rewritten. # imported from the archive

+Using the CMake build system
+============================
+
+There are basically two options for how to run ToME once built.
+
+
+
+Option #1 : Run ToME from the build directory
+=============================================
+
+Simply run the commands below.
+
+ $ cmake .
+ $ make
+
+You should now be able to run
+
+ $ ./src/tome
+
+to start ToME.
+
+This is currently the recommended option.
+
+
+
+Option #2: Run ToME from a system install location
+==================================================
+
+Run
+
+ $ cmake -DSYSTEM_INSTALL:BOOL=true .
+ $ make
+ $ sudo make install
+
+You can now run ToME from anywhere.
+
+You can also use DESTDIR when installing to a different location
+(useful with e.g. stow or when building distribution packages).
+
+
+Compiling on Ubuntu
+===================
+
+If you're having trouble compiling on an Ubuntu install you are
+probably missing the
+
+ build-essential
+
+package.
+
+Each frontend requires the additional packages listed below:
+
+ X11: libx11-dev
+ SDL: libsdl-image1.2-dev, libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
+ ncurses: libncurses5-dev
+
+
+Compiling on OpenBSD
+====================
+
+As of February 2010, the OpenBSD package cmake-2.4.8p2 is too old for
+building ToME. You may need to compile a newer version of CMake.
+
+If you have X11, then a bug in CMake may cause a linker error when
+linking the 'tome' executable. As a workaround, set the environment
+variable LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib when running CMake. Example:
+
+ $ env LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib cmake .
+ $ make
+
+The SDL frontend also requires these packages: sdl-image, sdl-ttf
+
+
+Compiling on Windows using MinGW
+================================
+
+(See http://www.mingw.org/)
+
+The source MUST be unpacked in a directory without spaces in the
+name.
+
+To compile on Windows using MinGW, use the commands
+
+ $ cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles"
+ $ mingw32-make
