    I am trying compile SBBS on Opensuse Tumbleweed. I have the required libraries installed. All goes well till this happens.

    This is way old but the fix for this is to change line 290 of ciolib.c to
    #if 0

    zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
    zypper installer net-tools-deprecated libncurses5 ncurses5-devel mozilla-nspr-devel python2 zip libcap-devel libglade2-devel libarchive-devel libcap-progs gtk3-devel

    THis will install pretty much everything you need to get sbbs to compile on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed along with the fix above.

    Actually, it's line 289 in the current release.

    Digitalman says this is a work around. We really need Deuce to look at it and fix it properly. I'll submit a git issue later with some details.

    Yeah, that did it on my SuSe box. I don't want to comment out every update though.

    Yeah, I have it compiling fine now.

    That's the nice thing about revision control systems (e.g. git), you don't have to - it'll automatically merge your local changes with the upstream changes (so long as they don't conflict).
