xLights on ubuntu

[LedMutt]

Hello there...anyone using xLights 2020.12 in Ubuntu 18.04..for the life of me have not been able to compile from source, had followed instruction on google in updating just about every library required for xLights, started having issues since version 2019.73, since then the previous xlights stopped working this is the error I get while compiling :

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
xLights.cbp.mak:1350: recipe for target 'out_linux_release' failed
make[1]: *** [out_linux_release] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/muttjr18/xLights/xLights'
Makefile:28: recipe for target 'xLights' failed
make: *** [xLights] Error 2

thanks to anyone that can help..again thank you

I don't believe 18.04 is supported anymore.   The readme says 19.04.

Thank you dkulp..I thought also supported 18.04, did a clean install of Ubuntu 19.04 on my xmas-pc, installed all libraries listed on the Readme file, cloned xLights.. tried to compile...still got errors, read more about the installation of wxWidgets found that there is choice with gtk2 or gtk3, made a change in xLights Makefile to configure wxWidgets with-gtk=3 instead of gkt=2 and was able to compile xLights 2020.12 in Ubuntu 19.04.
Thank you again for pointing that.
