Ok; I did see wiki.synchro.net, but dunno if I used it for the install info...

It was just a [simple] build error. didn't save the log as I just killed the VM and thought I'd hit it tomorrow... think I used make SYMLINK=whatever and got an Errno2 - or some basic fail. I'm gonna hit it again w/ wiki.synchro.net.

Also, I was on Ubuntu server 22.04 which has also given some issues with other bbS software [as opposed to 20.04]; anyway, I'll be posting more questions as I get going.. I have a new idea that I wanna use Synchronet for - but hopefully it won't be installation questions.

Thanks dm.

There's no *other install info at www.synchro.net

Next time, copy paste the error message and the commands you typed.

Ubuntu 22.04 will work fine for Synchronet.

Sounds like a missing dependency. With no error and no log, it's hard
to tell.
