How to compile general (FreeCiv)

[Alseimik]

Hi, i tried to find a .deb for FreeCiv but can't find nothing, and the unofficial packages shows one from getdeb, but there was no file, like usual, i have never found anything at getdeb! how come you love that site that much?.

Anyway, i still want to install a couple of games, for instant freeciv, so, do you guys know of any article/tutorial/anything that can help me learn how to compile these tar.bz2 packages?

Thanks!

Have you tried installing via SoftWare Centre?

(P.S sounds like you haven't added the GetDeb repo http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/all#how_to_install)
