I've been experimenting with setting up Synchronet in Linux. I did it a few years ago on opensuse with absolutely no problems. Now I've tried in Debian, Opensuse and Ubuntu and always get the same error message when using make.
Here is a clip of what it is:

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `mtlib'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sbbs/src/xpdev'
make -C /sbbs/src/sbbs3/../../3rdp/build cryptlib

make[1]: *** [gcc.linux.obj.debug-mt/ciolib.o] Error 1

Any ideas as to what is up or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Thanks,

you must install libncurses5-dev

few years ago on opensuse with absolutely no problems. Now I've tried in Debian, Opensuse and Ubuntu and always get the same error message when using make. Here is a clip of what it is:

curs_fix.h:43:21: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
#include <curses.h>

I'm not sure what the syntax is for OpenSuSE, but for Debian/Ubuntu I'm pretty sure what you want at this point is sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev.

I've found another how-to and it worked great. Obviously I was missing packages. I'm now working and will slowly convert from Winblows....

Whoopsie. I knew it was the ncurses dev package. Guess my time away from Linux is showing.
