[Nel] Compiling under Linux

+Moin,
+
+several nitpicks after my 2-hour adventures with ./configure under
+linux/gcc (SuSE 7.0):
+
+#configure: error: Cannot find freetype-config: check your path.
+#    FreeType 2 library is needed to compile NeL (www.freetype.org).
+
+Freetype.org is down, I could not reach it for several days/weeks.
+
+http://www.sourceforge.org/projects/freetype/ seems to be the new
+url.
+
+StlPort: Do I need to make it, or is simple unzipping enough? If yes,
+please document this, the make takes for ever ;o) Also, for stlport,
+there is no "make install" for unix. Does this matter? I also run low on
+diskspace due to stlport ... is there anyway to cut down the size after
+making it?
+
+#checking for freetype-config... no
+#configure: error: Cannot find freetype-config: check your path.
+#    FreeType 2 library is needed to compile NeL (www.freetype.org).
+
+Ugh, this file does not get installed, and only resides in the build dir
+of freetype (which I was to delete).
+
+So I copied it in the nel pat, but root does not have "." in it's path.
+Now I try configure as user and get this:
+
+#checking whether c++ accepts -g... \c
+#yes
+#./configure: /dev/null: Permission denied
+#configure: error: can not run ./config.sub 
+
+Now my hour for this day is running out...
+
+The build process needs to be MUCH easier, if this game will ever come of
+for Linux. Nobodies going to fiddle for 3 hours with it....or did I get it
+wrong and level one is named "./configure" ? ;-P
