You may want to consider «removing» older documentation.

And thanks to Biggen for a nice compilation and proper sequence of events and problems. I found it very «the same problems i've been encountering from the past».

I really think someone should look into it seriously. As in, really think as a person coming to this site without knowing nothing about nothing.
I would, if I had more time. Maybe I get around to it in summer holidays or something...

maybe late to step in this thread, but today I builded spring from scratch on openSuSe 10.2 too. I can relate to a few problems described above. The missing dependencies where no issue, and I could build the two that were not in my standard distro packages myself. The build system (scons) and the hardcoded binding on python2.4 is a bigger issue and took me a bit more time. OpenSuSe like most distros now have python 2.5 installed as standard. I solved this by building and installing python 2.4 myself and used some dirty softlink tricks. scons was a bigger issue cause it is not as flexible as make files together with gnu autotools generation.

In the end it all works now, I will test a few mods the coming days. Biggen if you need more help don't hesitate to pm me.

Awesome work so far. It's nice to see games coming off by hobby developers.
