I installed libggz-0.0.13, ggz-client-libs-0.0.13, and
ggz-gtk-client-0.0.13. They compiled fine. Platform is Debian Sarge.

I then ./configure --with-ggz-client. civclient --help now shows the -z
option.

~$ civclient -z

gives me this warning:

(process:14726): GLib-WARNING **: giounix.c:400Error while getting flags for
FD: Ungültiger Dateideskriptor (9)

From then on, civclient consumes 100% CPU, and top shows this as system time
for the most of it.

civclient starts with the second screen where you can choose the nations,
not with the start screen (where the new Gaming Zone option appears).

The GGZ dialog appears in English, not translated. According to
http://dev.ggzgamingzone.org/i18n/ the german translation is complete.

I didn't manage to compile Freeciv with ggz server support. It seems to
require ggz-server-0.0.13 (for the ggzdmod module), but the compilation of
the library fails:

ggzdb_db4.c: In function ggzdb_init_player':
ggzdb_db4.c:120: error: incompatible type for argument 4 of indirect
function call
ggzdb_db4.c:120: error: too many arguments to function
ggzdb_db4.c: In function ggzdb_init_stats':
ggzdb_db4.c:338: error: incompatible type for argument 4 of indirect
function call
ggzdb_db4.c:338: error: too many arguments to function
make[4]: *** [ggzdb_db4.o] Error 1

ADDENDUM:

civclient without -z option starts OK. The dialog is still in English.
Didn't test the function any further, guess the firewall is in the way.

I have started it.
