Hi, this section is for developers

Pingus is a free Lemmings clone for GNU/Linux, a Windows port is also available, covered under the GPL. Pingus uses ClanLib, which should make it portable some operating systems, including Beos, BSD, Windows and some more, but it will currently not compile on big-endian machines (PPC). Pingus is mainly developed under GNU/Linux, so the ports to the other OS's might be out of date or not available. If you want to get it working under some of the other mentioned operating systems, you have to get sources. It should be mainly just a recompile (along with some simple work arounds).

Under GNU/Linux it is possible to run it under X or in the console using the framebuffer device. You can play it in a window or in full screen using DGA if you run it under X.
