Yes, unless I'm mistaken, when using the GH_ variables, you will get an auto-generated archive with the content of the repo at the time the release was tagged. When using GH_ACCOUNT/GH_PROJECT/releases/download URL scheme, you get a release tarball packaged manually by the project maintainer. Not all repository maintainers prepare those tarballs though, but when they are available, they should be preferred. > Anthony already made some remarks that I agree with, try and turn > on verbosity during build and make sure it respects CC flags.. I sent a new tarball to address this. Thanks for testing!
