  • Linker error on Debian 13 (Trixie)

    From Colin Cogle@VERT to alt.bbs.synchronet on Wed Jul 22 01:01:42 2026
    From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

    I'm using Debian 13 (Trixie) on an amd64 server, and trying to compile
    the latest version of Synchronet using the install-sbbs.mk script. It
    builds correctly but it fails while linking:

    ```

    ```

    I saw the reference to pthreads but libpthread-stubs0-dev is already installed. I installed all the dependencies, but it seems like I might
    be missing something. Has anyone seen this error on Trixie before?
