I’m trying to compile experimental version, downloaded from Github, and I’m unable to do that. That’s what I’m getting:

Using Antergos Linux (Arch derivative). I’d be very grateful for any help.

In src/mondeath.cpp line 82, try changing `1 + max_hp / 5.0 )` to `float(1 + max_hp / 5.0 ))`.

Not sure if there need to be changes elsewhere, but it seems to work for me.

Sadly, that didn’t help, still getting the same errors.

Edit: Disregard all the above, I’m blind and missed the “float” part. Your advice worked, thanks a lot!
