  To build you need at minimum both of these, X11 and Xt (unless you are
  looking to build win32).
    sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
    sudo apt-get install libxt-dev
  You may need to install one of these to build Motif version:
    sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev (strongly recommended)
    sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev (defunct)
  As an alternative to Motif you can use Athena (and its variants):
    sudo apt-get install xaw7-dev
    (Also could use XAW3D xaw3d-1.6.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst)
  You need to install XPM if you want color icons:
    sudo apt-get install libxpm-dev (strongly recommended)
  To install XMU if you want editres:
    sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev (probably not useful)
  To install sound libraries (defunct):
    sudo apt-get install librplay3-dev
    sudo apt-get install libesd0-dev
    sudo apt-get install libaudiofile-dev
    sudo apt-get install nas-dev
    sudo apt-get install pulse-dev
    In place of these it is just configured by default with
      --enable-def-play=play.sh
  Then should be a simple
    configure; make

  Try resizing the puzzle. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
  the "room" available.

  Note: if using Athena and want the popups to be able to be closed when
    using a close window button in top bar, uncomment translations stuff
    in app-defaults file (.ad file) prior to "make install".  This may
    lead to warnings if for example the Motif version also exists.

  Try editing the file XPyraminx.ad to get a certain feature and then
  copying to $(HOME)/XPyraminx (where XPyraminx is the file name) and
  running xpyraminx again.  There is also a Windows port (wpyraminx),
  though not all features are included.

  The auto-solver here only works for size 2 and 3 (for both non-oriented
  and oriented centers) for Period 2.  For Period 3 it works for size 2,
  3, and 4 (for both non-oriented and oriented centers).  One of the
  problems in auto-solvers the generally do not work for different number
  of cuts.

  Personally, I have solved 1-3 in  "Period 2" mode, 1-4 in the
  "Period 3" mode, 1-2 in the "Both" mode, and "Sticky" I only
  solved it in "Period 3".

  Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.
