but the clients do. The clients come in many flavors:
-freeciv-gtk2: This uses the X Window System along with GTK+ 2 libraries. To
- install, see section 1a of the INSTALL document. This client is better
- supported and more developed than the others, as such it is considered to be
- the default interface throughout the rest of this document.
-
-freeciv-gtk3: This uses the X Window System along with GTK+ 3 libraries. To
- install, see section 1a of the INSTALL document. This client will eventually
- replace freeciv-gtk2.
-
-freeciv-qt: This uses the QT library from TrollTech. This client is currently
- in an experimental state.
-
-freeciv-sdl: This uses Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries. This client is
- currently unmaintained but is usable.
