[miranlau]

I download 1.8.2 source code and try to build and install in Centos7 but get following compilation error, please help:

Thanks!

Looks like I'm missing an include for the fixed width types ie

#include <stdint.h>

Fixed in commit:
c86e7e9

Let me know if this fixes your build.

Thanks so much reaching out!

BTW @tinselcity is there some executable package that I can use directly? thanks.

It looks like CentOS isn't yet a support GitHub runner for GitHub actions:
see: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#supported-runners-and-hardware-resources

We have Debian "debs" lying around for Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 I believe.

I have committed a fix for the missing:

#include <stdlib.h>

Commit: 10d1457

In the tcp connection class header.
Can you give it a try and see if you get further? I really appreciate these findings.

Thanks so much again!
