// Make sure we have Lua5.1 !! 
// When multiple Lua versions are present 
// We need to define lua version during cmake 
// And stratagus works probably with Lua 5.1 only 

// For the build's sake remove lua (5.3) and lua52 
// pacman -R lua lua52  


// Lets install a few dependencies 
// Assuming we already have the 
// GCC build environment in place  

# pacman -S

// I have uploaded the working sources to my repo 
// for others to replicate the build 
// Original location is https://launchpad.net/stratagus/+download 
// I have patched the source code so that it builds using GCC 8 and 9 
//   
// Create a working directory STARCRAFT 
// Download stratagus sources and extract them

P.S Please note that on higher resolutions other than 800x600 
the game crashes when building a fisrst structure .. 
It seems to be stable on 800x600 

Also note that there might be occasinal crashes in certain maps 

Networked play seems to be working fine on LAN
