Include compile instructions (or irrlicht problem?)

Hello,

I can't comment on https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1612713&aid=3180811&group_id=388166 so here goes:

So glad it runs on linux! Unfortunately I get an error when trying to build in Codeblocks:

=====================================================

=====================================================

I have irrlicht installed and I have a svn checkout (need it for supertuxkart svn). Perhaps you could include instructions on how to tell CB where to find irrlicht? Perhaps a link is enough?

Or: if it is supposed to be included (there's an irrlicht dir after all) then it might be that some files have not been committed?

Replace irrKlang

irrKlang is pretty restrictive http://www.ambiera.com/irrklang/license.html . To comply with free software principles and operating systems' repository guidelines an alternative library should be used (for example alure). See http://freegamedev.net/wiki/Non-free_dependencies for more.

I'm dreadfully sorry, should this sound like an open source fanboy request. This request is probably only valid when a port to an open operating system exists (as a non-free library affects ease of distribution) or if developers care personally about software licenses 'that way'. :)

Linux Port

This is a fun game and I would love to be able to play it natively on Linux.

Being available on that platform would hopefully increase player base and developer interest as well.
