Seconded.

I've tried looking at the few remaining Cryptonote implementations and they seem to have added so much more into the implementation that finding a replacement line just to fix the problem becomes a non-trivial change due to the lack of maintenance on this project :(

Really is a shame too because this was one of my favorite projects to quickly get up and running on your own blockchain to test/develop against.

I have this same issue as well, I remember reading somewhere that there is an issue with modern computers. I think an older version of ubuntu is required, but im not too sure.

What is the preferred OS when this issue is discovered? I was able to resolve by building on Ubuntu 16.04 but it has reached EOL so I want to continue learning on a supported OS.

I was able to use Ubuntu in a VM to build it and generate the genesis. I've published it here
https://github.com/71Zombie/scarlett

Although I wasnt able to setup the seed nodes even with the same version of ubuntu.

I've also forked monero

Only Ubuntu 14.

How to Compile a CryptoNote Coin on Windows 10/11

There has been an active issue for over 5 years now when trying to build the source on modern compilers.

Here is how I was able to compile my CryptoNote Coin using Windows 10.
You can also check for any updates to this guide at my blog: https://joshuapaulbarnard.tech.blog/2023/10/04/how-to-compile-a-cryptonote-coin-on-windows-10-11/

I made this guide on Windows 10 in October, 2023.

If you need help compiling on Linux, then you can check my Ubuntu 14/16 guide.

WINDOWS DEPENDENCIES FOR CRYPTONOTE

We are going to build for 64-bit Windows.

Download the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 Installer
When it opens up select C++ build tools, it automatically selects the needed parts. Make sure MSVC v141 Build Tools is selected.
Install Boost v1.71.0. Select the appropriate version for your system.
Boost 64-bit

COMPILING CRYPTONOTE ON WINDOWS WITH VS2019

From the start menu, open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019.
cd <your_cryptonote_directory>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 .. -DBOOST_ROOT=B:/local/boost_1_71_0
MSBuild CryptoNote.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:PlatformToolset=v141 /m
