Fresh Linux install - no servers listed

[wat3rbug]

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.

The middlemand is sometimes still necessary even on a wired install. It's also nice because instead of seeing a giant pile of servers, I see 3.

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.]

Having a well shielded cat6+ cable running directly from your gigabit home router to the ethernet port of your computer is so underrated.
I bought a glue gun, learnt to use it after burning each of my fingers at least once, then spent an afternoon sweating around my place twisting my body in positions I didn't know existed, to run such a cable in the best possible way along corners and edges.

But the satisfaction of running Speedtest and getting 900+ mbps results was worth the trouble.
