Precompiled Synchronet binaries

Greetings, members of the r/bbs subreddit.
It happens that my synchronet compiling attempts are to no avail due
to the minuscule processing power the machine it is supposed to be
running on has. Does anyone know any place to find precompiled
binaries for x86_64?

If we're talking about Windows, I don't know if Synchronet actually
has a Win64 build target. It has a 64-bit target for Linux, but I
don't see a mention of even a source package for Win64.

I assume you mean Linux? What distro are you running? I think I was
able to successfully compile it for Ubuntu or Debian (I forget which
off hand). Couldn't get it to compile for RedHat. Probably just me
since I'm not a Linux expert.

As far as Windows is concerned, you can get prebuilt 3.19 now, and
prebuilt 3.20 beta is upgrading the components manually, but they're
compiled and you can insert them replacing existing 3.19 components.
But you need to do a 3.19 installation first (at least that's what I
did).

I’m running Gentoo on an old office computer I got from a closing down
shop. To be really specific: the compilation fails upon attempting to
compile rgbmap.c. I’ve looked at the error and it turns out to
indicate that there are insufficient resources to compile the file. I
tried compiling it again on my second system although failed miserably
because I don’t happen to have a module called "site" for python.
