Ok I am a realitivity new fan of the game angband, and love D&D style games. I currently have the 3.3.2 version however I want the 3.5.0 version. I am so confused on how to get this to install? Can someone help me cause I have an 8 hour headach trying to understand this... Please help this is the source http://rephial.org/downloads/3.5/angband-v3.5.0.tar.gz
I honestly need a step by step if anyone is so inclined to help.
 
The instructions are provided in the .tar.gz
You will need to compile the game from the source code. Read the "compiling.txt" for compiling instructions.
You may first need some tools to compile stuff.
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake

Now download tar.gz to your drive somewhere. open terminal. cd into directory where the angband file is located, then:

Code:
tar -xzf angband-v3.5.0.tar.gz 
cd angband-v3.5.0/

#compiling.txt
BUILDING ON LINUX / *NIX
========================

Native builds
-------------

Linux builds using autotools. There are several different front ends that you
can optionally build (GCU, SDL, X11, and GTK) using arguments to configure
such as --enable-sdl, --disable-gtk, etc. Each front end has different
dependencies (e.g. ncurses, SDL libraries, etc).

To build Angband to be run in-place:

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-no-install [other options as needed]
make

To build Angband to be installed in some other location:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix /path/to [other options as needed ]
make
make install

On some BSDs, you may need to copy install-sh into lib/ and various
subdirectories of lib/ in order to install correctly.

OK i get as far as cd to angband and
bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory
please walk me thru this...
 
I think there is a mistake in the 'compiling.txt'

I believe the autogen.sh is probably from a previous version and is no longer needed.

I have successfully compiled on my machine.
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/angband-v3.5.0
./configure --with-no-install
make
cd src
./angband
