  To build you need at minimum both of these, X11 and Xt (unless you are
  looking to build win32).
    sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
    sudo apt-get install libxt-dev
  You may need to install one of these to build Motif version:
    sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev (strongly recommended)
    sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev (defunct)
  You need to install XPM if you want color icons:
    sudo apt-get install libxpm-dev (strongly recommended)
  To install XMU if you want editres:
    sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev (probably not useful)
  To install sound libraries (defunct):
    sudo apt-get install librplay3-dev
    sudo apt-get install libesd0-dev
    sudo apt-get install libaudiofile-dev
    sudo apt-get install nas-dev
    sudo apt-get install pulse-dev
      In place of these it is just configured by default with
      --enable-def-play=play.sh
  Then should be a simple
    configure; make

  Try resizing the puzzle.  Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
  the "room" available.

  Try editing the file Barrel.ad to get a certain feature and then copying
  to $(HOME)/Barrel (where Barrel is the file name) and running xbarrel
  again.  There is also a Windows port (wbarrel).

  I chose to display the puzzle horizontally because its easier for
  your hands to solve that way.

  Refer to the man page for detailed command line options and instructions
  on how to operate.

  If you want further information on puzzles, I'll be glad :-) to send
  it to you.

  Send bugs reports and fixes to the author. For bugs, please include
  as much information as to their location as possible, since I may not
