- The CONTRIBUTING file says you should hand over copyright (not OK with me, but it's your call; GPL should be more than enough to protect the game even if the rights are distributed). But there is no explanation on how to do this legally.
- There is no contact information. If I have a patch(let), where do I send it?
- It would be nice to have access to a public repository. http://www.git-scm.com would be optimal...

OK, now to the meat: On Linux (with new binutils/linker) libraries just referenced in others aren't pulled in automatically anymore. One needs to add "-lm -lpthread" to LIBS

The copyright stuff is over there: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=21351
(and I require it because it annoyed the hell out of me and many people when people wanted to make angband GPL and could not, it took years.)

There is a public repository See the first beta announcement http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=21244

As for the libs, I now updated the premake file for linux to do that, thanks!

Easiest way is probably to make anything you contribute BSD licensed. That way you keep copyright and attribution is required but the full code can be released with almost any license.
