First step should probably be to recompile it.
But I assume it won't solve the problem. If that is the case, yes then please open a bug report at the developer site and additionally at upstream sdl2-compat. Reason being that the compat version should be a drop-in replacement, so maybe it is a regression on their side.
Regarding the icon: Is cinnamon still X11 or wayland?

I think, since the change from sdl2 to sdl2-compat the mouse is stuck in certain areas of the screen (already on the title screen). I can only do Alt+F4 to quit. Should I file a bug report at the developer site? Or does recompiling help?

Btw the 7kaa icon is not connected/shown by default with menu entries on cinnamon. Don't know why.

Include the doc?

You can extract the manual from the release .exe or compile it from source by having an optional dependency requirement on texlive and the extra font package. Or see https://7kfans.com/downloads/7kaa-2.15.4.pdf

Good day, I compiled the game using x86_64. When you mentioned the overflow error, you reminded me that it was the one I had, for some reason the patch I used fixed that bug, but I will try the other one you said to see if it still works well.

Deleted my last comment, as different issues got mixed. There is a buffer overflow directly at the start. See https://github.com/the3dfxdude/7kaa/issues/172 This was the issue I experienced and this patch will be included. Your problem is mentioned in https://github.com/the3dfxdude/7kaa/issues/63 and is architecture specific. On what platform do you try to build 7kaa GalaxyLJGD?

Good day, I wanted to report that when running the game it gives a coredump, I don't remember what the error message said (it was a few days ago), but I already found the solution to the problem, a patch used in Fedora. I updated the PKGBUILD to patch the source code and tested if it worked (it does), here are the links for you to see:

PKGBUILD https://paste.debian.net/1096596/ gcc6_char_cast.patch https://paste.debian.net/1096597/

EDIT: changed patch file name.

Thanks for the note saverio. As this is a pretty straight forward I did the update myself. But sure, if you want to, I could add you as a co-maintainer :) Leave a note if you still intend to.

Hi, a new version of 7KAA is out (2.15.1). I tried to correctly update your building files. After that I cloned your repository and locally modified/updated your building files (PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO), then: - I was able to build the new version of the game; - I installed the package on my archlinux test system and it worked without errors; - I tested the game playing a match and it works very well. If you want, I can send you the updated building files via email or if possible, I'd like to be co-maintainer of this AUR package :) Do you agree? Thanks!
