Compiling Angband variants on Unixes

Hi everybody,

I've started packaging a few roguelike games for the Debian Linux
distribution. I'd like to package some Angband variants as well, but a lot
of them seem to require a lot of Makefile tweaking to compile properly on
Unix platforms.

So if anybody out there has custom Makefile for building any of the *bands
listed on thangorodrim.net* and is willing to share, please send them to
cafeine at no-log dot org and I'll be happy to package the software (with
due credits of course).

I'll post on r.g.r.a once I have a repository set up.

Thanks in advance

* Except Vanilla, Zangband, ToME (which are already part of Debian) and
Hengband (which I already packaged).

Good idea!

- The latest Sangband 0.9.9-beta20d should work without tweaking,
if not tell me since it should be my fault.
- Oangband 1.1.0 uses autoconf/automake so you should be able to build
that one without custom makefiles, just rebuild them autoconf and automake
if you have problems.
- Steamband, well, I did some assistance on that variant last summer so
my code is halfway towards the next version. So I can't really help
with the latest release. A new version will hopefully soon be out.

Other variants that are popular that you might want to package:
- Entroband (the replacement for the now unsupported Hengband).
- NPPAngband (Vanilla++)
