    How do I compile software from tar.gz packages?

    I just downloaded free orion, and it is in this format. I was sort of lazy with google gadgets, so I downloaded it from getdeb. However freeorion has no deb packages, just tarballs. So, how would I compile it?

    Never mind, I don't know what it was, but I've got it working now.
