I had the time to work a bit into this segfault issue. Gdb shows that the segfault happens in libmikmod. Running heroes --no-sound works, downgrading to libmikmod-3.3.11.1-7 and heroes plays as always.

The second issue with heroes no longer compiling was already caught by the guys at Debian. Here you can find their patches: https://sources.debian.org/patches/heroes/0.21-20/ - forward declarations.patch is what we're needing. Afterwards we need to rewrite ./configure by

autoreconf --install
autoconf

Afterwards ./configure && make as usual.

Heroes no longer works :-( It segfaults when I start the actual game. I tried to recompile the package, but it fails in configure stage with a number of failures in the log. Maybe someone with more programming insight can look into this?

Hi @kleintux, I added the required dependencies. My bad! Should build ok now. Just tested on a completely blank archlinux docker image.

Key @kleintux, apologies for missing this! I've updated the package now :)
