I tried to compile ltris, a tetris clone on 11.3 and wouldn't compile, too many missing packages. What packages do I  need to compile from source code in 11.3 and how to compile.

don't, use the package already prepared especially for your distro version:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64/ltris-1... or

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_11.3/i586/ltris-1.0...

I am teaching a friend how to use linux and he asked how do you compile programs and I never compiled from source so I wanted to learn myself.

Thanks for  the reply.

You need 2 categories of things. The build tools and the devel packages it builds upon. (ie. libraries, etc.) I'll assume you know the build tools, or else you have lots to learn! So look at the buildrequires line in the specfile for the devel packages. In this case you can find the spec file on the OBS at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=ltris.spec&package=ltris&project=games ie. # BuildRequires: SDL_mixer-devel update-desktop-files So install those 2 packages as well as the build tools you need. You can see the basic build steps in the spec file as well.
