Commander Stalin Compiling the source

Hi guys, girls and wise Penguins!

OpenSuse 11.3
Commander Stalin
I downloaded the Linux version
Download Gnu/Linux - 222 MB
and unzipped it

There is one executable file namely cstalin but when I click on it, nothing happens.

So either I need to do something more before I can run the game. There are no installation instructions on the website, which leads me to believe that it is unzip and play.

SO now I want to try and compile the game and see if that helps. But U have no idea how!

I downloaded the source from Download Sources - 142 MB

So what do I do now?
Please be gentle, please be kind to this newbie heart of mine!

PS I am not sure if this is the correct board.
