Goblin Camp (goblincamp-ng?)

There's this game called `subj`, got a package in the AUR. Didn't build (link, to be precise) for me and other people, too. Development has halted some time ago, so I decided to take this up, if only to check it out.

I cloned it, removed the Boost.Build build system, replaced it with some hard-coded CMake files, and shifted code around, mainly commenting out broken stuff.

It now builds for me. If you wanted to try it out previously but couldn't build it - now you can. If you want to help make it more portable, like building on 32-bit machines, other Linux distros, or other OSes, them CMakeLists could use a little conditionals. ;)

A few thoughts on Reddit, it's slightly dated already - stuff is working now.

I can't devote much time to full-fledged development. Honestly, I just wanted to see what this game is about.

Re: Goblin Camp (goblincamp-ng?)

The link to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/goblincamp-hg/ shouldn't end in 'notify', because that will add logged-in users to the notification list for that package - please edit it.

I'm not sure about the name clash, it would be nice to differentiate one from the other, especially as someone may create a PKGBUILD for your version and upload it to the AUR. Bitbucket repo still uses 'goblincamp'.

Thank you, both points taken.
