I installed a brand new box running Ubuntu server 18.04, I followed the instructions I found at: https://gist.github.com/phuckewe/897d8559f2f6c287d07a

I have also followed the instructions on the wiki as well, for manual compiling. Every time I get the same error:

curs_cio.c: In function ‘curs_getch’:
curs_cio.c:942:2: error: unknown type name ‘wint_t’; did you mean ‘uint8_t’?
wint_t ch;

SNIP ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

you need the libncurses5w-dev package

Sorry, here is the per-requisites that address your error http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix:prerequisites

:!: Note:
On some Debian derived systems (e.g. Ubuntu Linux), libncurses-dev installs libncurses5-dev, and you get wint_t errors while building, you will need to install libncursesw5-dev.

Those instructions are 6 years old. You're better referring to the wiki at https://wiki.synchro.net
