I still need to update some of the documentation to reflect this. In addition to increasing the chances of a successful build under Windows, the following configure options have been added: (1) enable-alternate-gameuser and enable-alternate-gamegroup: Use these if you are building as a non-root user (such as in a computer lab environment). They will help make sure that things get installed in such cases. (2) enable-ui: Choose from tkconq, cconq, xtconq, and sdlconq. The default is tkconq. This determines which interface will be built and installed when you do a "make; make install" (or just "make install"). The other UI's are all also enabled and can be built with: all-tkconq, all-cconq, all-xtconq, and all-sdlconq, and installed with the corresponding install-. (3) enable-alternate-x11-app-defaults-dir: Use this for specifying an alternate location to store the X11 resources for the xtconq inteface. The enable-sdl option is no longer needed. The SDL interface is enabled by default. The only time it (or any other interface) won't build is if they are missing something (and whether you are on a Unix platform, in the case of xtconq). In the future, I will perhaps disable interfaces depending one whether or not they can be built. Some work still remains to be done, but the major surgery now appears to be out of the way. Please let me know if you have any problems building with the remodeled system. Thanks, Eric
