I have been trying to get PeerGuardian on my Ubuntu 21.04 system, but the PPA maintainer is not updating the package, and the project seems to be abandoned.

When I try to compile on my laptop, I get this error:

/usr/bin/ld: src/stream.o:/home/frigyes/Desktop/peerguardian-code/pgld/src/blocklist.h:77: multiple definition of `blocklist'; src/pgld.o:/home/frigyes/Desktop/peerguardian-code/pgld/src/blockl ...

I've had this problem many times and not been able to solve. I've just manually compiled and installed python 3.10 on ubuntu 20.04, for some reason think that latest is likely to be the best however with python this is debatable!

Now when I try to do some updates I get common errors such as these, suggests the system is not finding 'py_compile.py' ?

I have not seen an answer for this make file error. It cannot find the linux/compiler-gcc.h or linux/compiler-gcc9.h? Trying to build "build root" embedded linux. Additionally it is stating include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:114:1: fatal error: linux/compiler-gcc9.h: No such file or directory.

Assuming b), what's the best location to move these applications? Thank ...

The shell function in GNU make behaves weird on Ubuntu. Consider this simple Makefile:

TEST2 := $(shell /bin/sh -c 'command -v sh')

        $(info TEST2 = $(TEST2))

Running make prints

TEST2 = /usr/bin/sh
