I'm running the latest Linux Mint and the directory is /home/git/wwiv/_build
I was running Ubuntu but switched back to Mint recently.  I'm not even sure if
my new source is compiling as I'm getting Ninja Build errors 2/3 of the way in
on the build.  It seems to catch at

/home/git/wwiv/sdk/ansi/makeansi.cpp:54:22: error: ansi_color_map was not declared in
this scope   54 |     addto(&out, 40 + ansi_color_map[(attr & 0x70) >> 4] -
'0');      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ninja: build stopped:
subcommand failed.

FAILED: sdk/CMakeFiles/sdk.dir/ansi/makeansi.cpp.o

I just followed the instructions here:
https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv#building-on-linux

And used /builds/linux/install-prereqs.sh as a fail safe but prior installed
any prereqs as listed on the github page.

With that said, I haven't tried recently to copy source, but did just refresh
my fork and pulled the latest source, and attempted to compile.  I see RushFan
also replied, but have not tried his instructions on copying just yet as I
think I'm not setup right.
