# Introduction

This document briefly describes specifics of Hu-Go! on the Linux platforms.

# Supported versions

Hu-Go! has been reported to work on Linux 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 but should theorically work on lower and higher versions. All distributions should be support by Hu-Go!, for instance Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, Knoppix, Suse, Slackware, ...

# Installation

Hu-Go! is available as binary packages for some distributions or as sources for others.

## Sources

Hu-Go! requirements for compiling from sources is quite usual. It needs gcc 2.95+ or 3+ and SDL development files. Optional developpement files includes gtk+ 2.0 or better for the graphical interface, zlib for unzip support, SDL_net for netplay. The classical «./configure» execution should detect all what is available and the usual «make» and «make install» will compile and install Hu-Go!

## Debian package

Latest debian packages can be found on zeograd.com. To install them the apt-get way (which will handle the dependencies right), add the following line in your «/etc/apt/sources.list» :

  deb http://www.zeograd.com/debian/ unstable main

  deb-src http://www.zeograd.com/debian unstable main

then do a «apt-get update && apt-get install hugo». Actually, this is the location of the CVS daily build. I will set up a stable repository if there is any demand for it.

## Mandrake packages

Littletux provides packages for i586 architectures in .rpm format, either the binary and the source package. You need to dowload it and use «rpm» to install it.

## Others distributions

If you which to help setting up another kind of repository for Hu-Go! packages (Ubuntu, Gentoo, Red Hat, ...), I'd be glad to hear from you.
