Hey I come from youtube and saw a video of you on how to compile from source. I am trying to build from source from a game called beyond all reason:

https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/Beyond-All-Reason?tab=readme-ov-file

The instructions are a bit confusing even though it seems simple at first. I want to compile this game and use checkinstall to create a .deb package. Can you please help me? Thanks!

Hi there! What OS/distro are you trying to do this on? Which steps are you following in the docs, and what errors are you running into?

I actually haven't used CheckInstall before, but I can probably help you figure out how to get the program to compile first, at least. However, that repo appears to be written mostly in Lua, and I'm not sure Lua needs to be manually compiled– it's more like Python, where it's interpreted at runtime. Also, if you're actually trying to make a complete package for that game, it sounds like you'll need to deal with two different repositories– the one you linked, and the separate one for the game's launcher.
