Conversely, I was kind of surprised when I installed Hugor on Puppy Linux and the Qt dependency ended up being a sizable download. Of course, the end product looked great, and maybe I don't get how dependencies work. Just the same, I can see your point.
Assuming you won't be able to trim down the video DLL requirements, maybe it'd still be worthwhile to additionally offer the 100 MB versions for the serious enthusiasts.

Puppy Linux is omitting many libraries by default. It aims to be as small as possible, after all. On stuff like Ubuntu or openSUSE, you get those libraries with the system.

OK, new builds are up. Other than video, context menu actions added by the game with "addcontext" are now also supported.
(Linux)

See the included "README.linux-bin" file for information on how to run this
For completeness, I've also uploaded Windows and Mac versions (although without video support):
(Windows)
http://foss.aegean.gr/~realnc/hugor/tes ... 12-w32.zip
(Intel Mac OS X 10.5 and newer)
http://foss.aegean.gr/~realnc/hugor/tes ... -intel.dmg
(PowerPC Mac OS X 10.5)
http://foss.aegean.gr/~realnc/hugor/tes ... 12-ppc.dmg
Summary of changes compared to the current 1.0 release:
- Support for game-specific start-up configuration files. The set of configuration options is not fully decided yet and thus isn't documented. For now, see:
http://www.joltcountry.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8896
for more information.
- Fullscreen mode is now restored correctly between sessions.
- Video is now fully supported in the Linux version of Hugor. Consult the README for details about the GStreamer packages/plugins Hugor now depends on. When building from source, video support can be disabled with:
CONFIG+=disable-video
- The FMOD sound back-end has been removed. SDL is now the only supported sound back-end.
- Games that expect mouse input will no longer receive right-clicks (or left-clicks on left-handed mouse devices), since this is reserved for the context menu.
- If this version of Hugor is started for the first time, fullscreen mode will default to a 4:3 display ratio, as otherwise text lines can be extremely long on wide screen displays.
- Context menu entries set by the game are now supported and displayed in the context menu.

As you might have expected, my Puppy Linux installation complains about a missing "libQtGstreamer..." with the new build. I tried downloading several gstreamer plugins, but that didn't fix it.
Okay, I just saw the earlier post where you say these should be installed:
libqtgstreamerui-0.10-0
libqtgstreamerutils-0.10-0
Those did not show in my package installer thingy, but maybe I can install them by hand. I am not wise to the ways of Linux. I will look into this again later.
If you're wondering why I use a lightweight distribution like Puppy Linux, I only really play around with Linux on older computers, and I think Puppy Linux looks good and runs well. It's pretty good for the little things I usually ask of it.

Also try searching for "qtgstreamer" and "qt-gstreamer."

Yeah, unfortunately, that did not help. Maybe puppies were not meant to play with video-enhanced Hugors!

I'll look into getting rid of that particular dependency.
