Problems installing the noip2 client on a fresh 20.3 mint install

Post by abw101 »

Hi, I too am trying to install the noip2 client on a fresh 20.3 mint install.
following their guide I did the following:
sudo su in terminal
cd /usr/local/bin
wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
tar xzf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
cd noip-2.1.9-1
make

and here is the output of make:

andrew: /usr/local/bin/noip-2.1.9-1# make
gcc -Wall -g -Dlinux -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" noip2.c -o noip2
noip2.c:136:10: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
136 | #include <stdio.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:25: noip2] Error 1

I checked and it seems all the compiler GCC components are installed. So I am at a loss. Ant help is appreciated

Just GCC is not enough, do you have all the necessary build tools, libraries, dependencies? Take a look here viewtopic.php?f=90&t=230142
