PeerGuardian building from source

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/blocklist.h:77: first defined here

I made a github repo to experiment with the github action compilation, and don't screw my system over, and that can compile the program flawlessly. What's going on?

Here is the github repo, with all the workflow logs: https://github.com/Frigyes06/peerguardian

I'm a noob with Github actions too, so if you can fix anything, feel free to make a PR!

Thanks for any help in advance!

It probably will not compile because of missed QT4DBUS.

@N0rbert What do you mean? I install the libqtdbus4 package, and configure runs without any errors.

What is your Ubuntu version? How did you installed the package which [exists only for 18.04 LTS](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=libqtdbus4)? Which sources do you use? The [official from SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/peerguardian/files/PeerGuardian%20Linux/2.3.1/pgl-2.3.1.tar.gz) is Qt4 only.

@N0rbert My ubuntu version is Ubuntu 21.04. I added the source to my sources.list file. I know, it's a bad practice, but I have no other way to do it. I use the git source from SourceForge.

Correction: the github repo has the code from the original release, the git source uses qt5

I updated everything to the latest git code. The github action builds successfully, I still have the same error

I solved it by downgrading to gcc-9

This is not going to be a solution that works across the board

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
