I swapped to jordan's fork as sdl12-compat makes sdl1 support pretty trivial. I didn't have time to test a full game but it seems to work okay - let me know if there's anything that needs more work

nunolucas' fork is older, but has been ported to SDL2, while jordan-evens' fork is newer but still stuck in SDL1.

I suggest switching upstream to this repo: https://github.com/jordan-evens/einstein-puzzle

It adds support for more resolutions and modernized the codebase. It remains a fork since the owner of the other repo discarded the initial pull request without any discussion. NetBSD already switched to it.

Thank you. I have updated the PKGBUILD to correctly point to GitHub https.

Updated to use Alex Karabanov's github source instead of Debian archive copy. Game should compile and work now. Leave a comment if it does not compile for you.

Can't compile the package, what file should I patch?
