That means it allows you to play interactive fiction, +also known as text adventures, which were implemented either by Infocom or created using the Inform compiler. By default, the curses (fizmo-ncursesw) and 'dumb' console (fizmo-console) -executables are always built. If you want a GUI for fizmo, install SDL2 -before running this script (the executable will be called fizmo-sdl2). +executables are always built. + +Optional dependencies: these are auto-detected at build time, so just +install them before building fizmo if you want to use them.
