Hugo Rivera stated that he had a .diff.gz for it, we might use that as a starting point.

/DEBIAN also known as diff.gz, for the 32 bit .deb
only has control file

to run already compile executables use the following arguments

don't do much with it yet though.... we have to implement a few important features such as an argument to choose where the MARS config file will be saved

[Hugo Rivera (rivera-hugo2)]

here is the folder i used to make the .deb
pay close attention...

[Hugo Rivera (rivera-hugo2)]

Recompile it, the svn has been updated to work properly now...

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

This game requires the SFML library 2.0.
The Ubuntu repositories only ship 1.6.
It therefore fails to build because of the missing OpenGL support.
