Contributions summary:Sascha primarily contributed to improving the build and platform compatibility of the `openage` project, which is a clone of the Age of Empires II engine.

They also addressed platform-specific header inclusions, resolving issues related to OpenGL and pty.h. The commits show significant efforts to ensure the project builds and runs correctly across different operating systems.
