Incorrect instructions about pre-built libraries?

[Wuzzy2]

OK, I now know the answer to this question.
The prebuilt libraries are NOT required to build this game under GNU/Linux.
I managed to build it with:

• FPC 3.0.4 (Arch Linux package)
• libGameNetworkSocket (built myself, that one specific commit the game expects)
• libstb (built myself)
• PhysFS 3.0.2 (Arch Linux package)

So, the instructions are incorrect if you're on a GNU/Linux system, so please fix this. :-)

What is that one commit the game expects? I tried GameNetworkingSockets v1.2.0 and always get

Build instructions have been updated, pre-built libraries from the repo are not used anymore.
