Yes, your problem is a variant of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25504

It's been "fixed" post 0.0.7beta, try and download and compile a snapshot
from http://www.ufoot.org/liquidwar/v6/snapshots/ then look carefully at
the output of ./configure. You're probably missing some SDL depedency, but
0.0.7beta doesn't say it explicitely enough. The snapshot should work
better and actually interrupt ./configure when it figures out no gfx
backend can be compiled.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
