   aptitude install build-essential p7zip-full zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev libsdl1.2-dev libopenal-dev libglew-dev libdevil-dev zip libvorbis-dev libxcursor-dev libglew1.5-dev libboost1.35-dev cmake libwxgtk2.8-dev


2. Unpack Spring tarball, cd into its directory and compile (as user)
   
   cd spring-directory
cmake .
make




3. Install as superuser or sudoer
   
   make install


4. Unpack Spring Lobby, cd into its directory, compile and install
   
   cd springlobby-directory
./configure --disable-torrent-system --disable-sound
make

   make install

Optional:

You can install checkinstall and create a deb package by substituting make install with:

checkinstall make install

This will create a deb file along with installing it so next time you can remove it with:

dpkg -r spring-<version> springlobby
