I have a GTK FreeCiv but not the capability to package it. These two
will play ball...
glib-1.2.10
gtk+-1.2.10
...I'll root round for the options tomorrow.
Also required: imlib. I happened across imlib-1.9.10 so that's what got
used. gdk-pixbuf-0.10.1 is lurking around but perhaps I was mistaken
about it being needed at the time. Unfortunately the winmm audio option
is a red herring: winmm != directx = no mixer. SDL-1.2.4 may be a viable
approach (works here but is mingw). I could revisit that and see if it
will build "properly".

GTK 1.2 is considered "done" isn't it?

Spurious quitting by the client via an assertion is "normal" (they get
bugs reported) - a plain old crash isn't. The server ought to be rock
solid.
