Compiling
Desktop Linux
Type 'make'. This will build a pipepanic binary.
Sharp Zaurus
Type 'make -f Makefile.arm'. This will build pipepanic_x.x.x_arm.ipk and pipepanic-x.x.x-arm.tar.gz. You can install the ipk or extract the tarball and run it via the console; the choice is yours.
Help with setting up the ARM development environment can be found here  . As Pipepanic is an SDL application you will need the SDL development packages both for the Zaurus and your Linux desktop PC. The development package for the Zaurus can be found in #Downloads.
FAQ
Desktop Linux
On Linux I get this error when running make :- In function `_start': undefined reference to `main'
Remove -Dmain=SDL_main from CFLAGS in Makefile.
Sharp Zaurus
I have a C Series Zaurus and if I run Pipepanic via the desktop icon nothing happens until I press Enter! This problem doesn't occur if I run the game via the terminal, so what's going on?
This is a known problem with SDL as it is also mentioned in the Crimson Fields FAQ/Troubleshooting . It is not something I can do anything about so just press Enter.
On clicking the Pipepanic desktop icon, nothing happens!
Open a terminal and type 'pipepanic' (without the quotes). Any error messages will be displayed here, and you will have a better understanding of the problem.
