On my (age-old) Ubuntu laptop, I was able to install the proper prebuilt libraries for all the GUI clients without needing to compile anything myself, so I'm afraid I can't help with that :/

GTK 3.22 and GTK 3 are, broadly speaking, two different things. Newer (as in, non-stable) Freeciv versions come with dedicated GTK3.22 client clode, but for older ones, you'll need a GTK3 installation that's not GTK3.22.

I believe they are no longer different continents. You should be able to middle-click (there might be some combination of shift-ctrl-alt-click that works as well, but it escapes me at the moment) to display various tile information; somewhere among that should be a continent ID. You could check if t...

However, I don't believe there is currently a means of requiring a server setting to have (or not have) some value, so it is only possible to either always allow it, or never allow it (or some more fine-grained conditions based on other things in the game), regardless of the killunhomed server sett...

In the current master (3.1+), the "change home city" action is already controlled by an action enabler; I believe the requirement that a unit must already have a home has been un-hardcoded. However, I don't believe there is currently a means of requiring a server setting to have (or not ha...

Depending on your game version, this might still be hardcoded behavior (bombardment only against land), or it might be part of the respective action enabler (or both).

What nations players are allowed to /take is managed by the 'allowtake' server option. Setting it to the empty string "" means players aren't allowed to take other players (human, AI or barbarian; alive or dead), and can't observe (globally or other players). As far as I know, it is not po...

That page has always looked like that (and by "always", I mean it was only created a month and a half ago). The official downloads page is not on the wiki anymore. I think the actual problem is incorrect links since the wiki's domain name is no longer freeciv.org.

Yeah, AI (and thus goto) does funky things with fuel. I assume the reason AI doesn't send out those units at all is because it doesn't use fueled units for exploration – in most supplied rulesets, planes only have fuel for a turn or two, so that makes sense. The more general thing with goto is that ...

I was thinking more a case of "you probably don't want to hang out in the sea for long" so I wouldn't want that to be there until a boat has been in the deep ocean for a while, which is also not currently possible. Eh, a fuel like system would probably be better. In 3.0, there's the "...
