Which version are you using?  I built version 2.0.3 (
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/tuxmath ) and I don't see a
comets.c file anywhere.  I think it was in a different version.

Main problems I had building were using sdl_ttf instead of sdl_pango
and building without sdl_net.  Seems like no ones tested those options
in a long time and I needed to make some modifications to get things
working properly again.  There's still some duplication of effort
between some t4kcommon functions and some of the tuxmath functions
especially with regards to locating and loading helper files.  It
could use some serious cleaning up, but I haven't had time to do much
with it.  I have some alternative build scripts/files that use cDetect
and make instead of the GNU autotools if anyone needs them.
