Hi guys,
I'm new to running synchronet on Linux, and luckily I'm still in testing before
re-releasing my system in the Linux environment.  I have no problems building
using the GNU Makefile
make install SYMLINK=1

The issue happens when I do a git pull, and follow instructions in the wiki for
updating.
I change directories into /sbbs/repo/src/sbbs3/
I ensure I run SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec
and SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/brsl
and then I run, as directed
make RELEASE=1 symlinks setcapH


In Debian, under debian 12, the following command works, and I think it has to
do with gmake being used.  Can this be updated in the wiki?

make RELEASE=1 SYMLINK=1 SETCAP=1

I hope this helps.
