Would be interesting to know what went wrong, in theory SuperTux
should be compilable everywhere since it doesn't depend on anything
more than standard SDL stuff.

Loki-Installer would be good, since it would work everywhere. But I am
not a fan of tracking each and every distro package out there, its
just boring, tiresome and even error prone, its just hard to judge
which package might work and which will barf at the users site due to
missing dependencies and such. If people want to install distri
packages they better use their automatic-install tools (apt-get and
friends) then to manually mess around with packages.
