[JoshuaPaulBarnard]

There has been an active issue for over 5 years now when trying to build the source on modern compilers.
The best solution (without updating the actual code) is to simulate the original build environment, Which is Ubuntu 14.04 with the Dependencies of: GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.55.

I was able to compile my CryptoNote Coin using Windows 10 and made a guide and posted it to my blog: https://joshuapaulbarnard.tech.blog/2023/10/04/how-to-compile-a-cryptonote-coin-on-windows-10-11/
