Have you been able to get this compiled on / for any modern linux system?

I just tried on Ubuntu 20.04 lts and 18.04 lts and both failed due to dependency messes. But, since I have compiled newer coins with them I don't know if it's the OS or other newer things I have installed. I thought I had a copy of the binary saved someplace but I can't find it.

Side thought, makes you wonder how much stuff like this kills older coins, I want to run it but there is an issue getting it compiled and there are no official linux binaries and for a bit of fun / playing around mining it's not worth putting in the extra time needed to do it so we go play with another coin.

you need to specify -std=gnu++98 for the compiler (xCXXFLAGS), i modified this from src/makefile.unix

even further sad thought, so called modern coins usually have doc files for building that are 10 years out of date.
it really is voodoo some days. i think most devs like the mysticism and their fifedoms.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
coinname="metalmusiccoin"
pcdversion=`/bin/basename "$PWD" | \
/bin/sed -e "s,\.,,g" \
-e "s,MTLMC,metalcoind,"`
echo "pcdversion=${pcdversion} pwd=${PWD} coinname=${coinname}"
cd src
if [ "x${1}" = "x" ]; then
rm -f obj/version.*

if [ -r ${coinname}3d ]; then
cp -p ${coinname}3d /usr/local/bin/${pcdversion}
stat=$?
if [ $stat -ne 0 ]; then
echo "error ${stat} copying ${coinname}3d into /usr/local/bin/${pcdversion}"
else
echo "installed into: /usr/local/bin/${pcdversion}"
