WARNING! For successfull building you must install these development packages (names may vary in your distribution):

	sdl, sdl-mixer, sdl-image, sdl-ttf, lua5.1

0) Prepare for building

Unpack source package with this command:
	$ tar xzvf instead_<version>.tar.gz

Change current dir to project's build dir:
	$ cd instead-<version>

There are several ways to build package.

1) On Debian based systems you can build deb package:
	$ sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-dev libreadline-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libreadline5-dev
	$ apt-get install build-essential
	$ debuild
	$ cd ..
	$ sudo dpkg -i instead_<version>.deb		

2) On gentooo or arch linux please copy-paste PKGBUILD or EBUILD from here:
	http://code.google.com/p/instead/wiki/
	And, I think, you have enough skills to build package yourself. ;)

3) For other distributions you have a two choices:
	1) try run ./configure.sh and follow instructions
or
	2) do all things manually

4) Manual build

To build game, that runs just from build dir use Rules.make.standalone.

	$ rm -f Rules.make
	$ ln -s Rules.make.standalone Rules.make
	$ make clean
	$ make

If build process has failed check Rules.make.standalone and make changes if needed.

	$ ./sdl-instead
	Enjoy. 

To build game for system install.

	$ rm -f Rules.make
	$ ln -s Rules.make.system Rules.make
	$ make clean
	$ make

If build process has failed check Rules.make.system and make changes if needed.

	$ sudo make install

	$ sdl-instead
	Enjoy.
