BerryBots pre-release testing help

FYI I've made a lot of progress towards a .deb package. Revamped the build process with autoconf/configure along the way. Right now there's still binary incompatibility because Debian has libglew17 and Ubuntu libglew18. But at worst, I'll be able to offer .deb's instead of .zip's, it's no worse in terms of binary incompatibility, better installation process, run from anywhere and data's stored in your chosen location (like on Mac), and I can see about submitting the source package to the Debian repo so you can eventually get the binary you need in whatever distro.

And hopefully wxWidgets 2.9 and SFML 2 will hit Debian stable eventually and make my life a little easier...

Also someone came along and packaged it for the Arch Linux repository, which was a nice surprise. His first pass is semi-broken because it was before I did all this other necessary stuff to make it work smoothly running from an installed location, but he has my latest code and I think will update it sometime.

Haha, well, real packaging on Linux was already a to-do, but having actual people show some interest has a way of helping prioritize things. :-) And I can pay my Apple tax (er, developer license) to get rid of a scary warning there, maybe write an installer for Windows too, and I've got a nice "easier to build or install / run" story for the next version.

I've tested the .zip on a fresh install of Ubuntu, so I don't think there's anything major that I'm unknowingly depending on. I think I tried the Debian binary on a fresh install too.

If you're interested, here's a Debian 32-bit .deb: [1].

Got both .deb and .rpm packages working now. Never thought I'd be so happy to see my icon in the Linux Applications menu. :-)

Congratulation with mastering debian packaging! I installed it without problems and it seems to be working properly.
