'make' errors in Ubuntu

[jukebox017]

I cloned the repository and ran make, and got SDL errors. I installed libsdl2-dev which solved some of them, but I got the following errors:

Looks like new GCC warnings. You can make them non-fatal by removing -Werror.

You also seem to be missing SDL2_ttf.

Wow, that was the fastest response ever.

I removed -Werror from CFLAGS in the GNUmakefile which allowed it to compile. Also, I got SDL2_ttf by installing libsdl2-ttf-dev. But, on running snipes, I got:

./snipes
TTF_OpenFont: Couldn't open SnipesConsole.ttf

[CyberShadow]

The font is available separately, as it's a modification of a Microsoft font. http://kingbird.myphotos.cc/ee22d44076adb8a34d8e20df4be3730a/SnipesConsole.ttf It should be linked to from the only two places I'm aware of that link to this project (AUR package and Vogons thread).

Awesome! Before your reply was posted, I changed FONT_FILENAME to a random .ttf font that I found. And it worked! I played this game way back in the day so I was excited to find this repo and get it up and running. I'm sure adding this info to a Readme file can help other people who might stumble onto this :) Thanks for the help!
