I just compiled bzflag 2.99 on debian unstable. The following commands will only work if your username is niels.

cd /home/niels/local/src
svn co https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/trunk/bzflag bzflag

cd /home/niels/local/src/bzflag/src/other/ares && aclocal && autoheader  && libtoolize --copy --force && automake --add-missing  && autoconf

cd /home/niels/local/src/bzflag/src/other/curl && aclocal && autoheader && libtoolize --copy --force && automake --add-missing  && autoconf

cd  /home/niels/local/src/bzflag/plugins && aclocal &&  libtoolize --copy --force && automake --add-missing  && autoconf

cd  /home/niels/local/src/bzflag && aclocal -I /home/niels/local/src/bzflag/m4 -I/home/niels/local/src/bzflag/plugins/m4 && autoheader && libtoolize --copy --force &&  automake --add-missing && autoconf && ./configure --prefix=/home/niels/local  CPPFLAGS='-I/home/niels/local/src/bzflag/src/other/curl/include' && make && make install

/home/niels/local/bin/bzflag

Is there a question here somewhere?

No, there is no question.

I was just hoping that the post would be helpful to others.

On my Fedora 8 system it is enough to do

autogen.sh
./configure
make

in the top-level directory. It compiles with only a few warnings. The c-ares-devel and curl-devel packages are installed on my OS so the ares and curl code from svn are not used.

Hope this helps other aspiring developers.

There should be absolutely no need to run those commands manually. We have an automated build system for a reason. Did you read the README files?
