Fresh Linux install - no servers listed

I'm curious the issue you're encountering when attempting to compile this tool. For me, 'git clone' and 'make' just works on Ubuntu 18.04.

Same for me on MX Linux (while this subject is solved already I thought to mention it, for any new Linux users)

For those that wondered about compilation errors. I did install the library needed as per the earlier post and it compiled and ran. The result is that I saw no servers meaning that either a) Whatever file needed to adjust hasn't been adjusted or b) There's something else I didn't think about. Since I ran the cable and it works. My problem is solved.

The error is

cc -c -o build/main.o src/main.c -O2 -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing
In file included from src/connection.h:5:0,
from src/main.c:2:
src/netcode.h:10:10: fatal error: errno.h: No such file or directory
#include <errno.h>
^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Makefile:30: recipe for target 'build/main.o' failed
make: *** [build/main.o] Error 1

Now to be fair. I just installed this OS, so the error points to a header file from the standard libraries used in a typical C environment instead of the one from the src directory included from the git clone. For me its much simpler to spend a few minutes pulling a cable than it is to route through the environment and find out why.

Sure, pulling a cable is fine.

For the sake of anyone with a similar problem in the future, this error is due to a missing C standard library. On Ubuntu, this is the libc-dev package (which would usually be installed with sudo apt install build-essential).

This guy Linuxes! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And I say that both because of the correct "sudo apt-get" incantation ... and because he freely acknowledged that any solution that works, no matter how how unsophisticated (eg. even running cable) is a good one.

It's been a while since I linuxed, like back in the slackware days. I appreciate it when someone points me to a modern way of linuxing something, that I honestly couldn't be bothered with doing anymore. Yes, that command did fix the ability to build the application which sadly didn't fix my build. What is determined is that there is too much interference using wireless to use that solution. I got server timeout issues constantly, which is why I'm pulling cable.

I just bought 2x Linksys Velop 6 devices and have been loving the coverage and speed. One unit was more than enough for my 1200 sqft apt (went from 2 bars in the back bedroom to full), but I have a loft and wanted ports upstairs for some equipment so I got a 2nd to use as a bridge.

I got curious and googled: those things are $600 ... each! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] For a dollar per square foot I certainly hope you get some good coverage!

Well it'd been a solid decade since I updated the wireless side of my network. Should be good for another 10 years hopefully.

Well at that price I hope so too!

But just to be clear, I didn't mean to sound like I was mocking you for spending a lot on routers; if anything I'm just jelly I don't have (2x) $600 routers myself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
