I managed to compile xconq 7.0.1 , xgalaga 1.6b and netmaze on my Amiga
running Netbsd 1.1.

It seems that especialy NetBSD & Linux have different opinions about where
to look for the includes & libraries, but most problems I had with x software
so far could be fixed by editing the Imakefile.

Hope that helps,
Lars
