Latest master doesn't compile if using WSL2 Ubuntu 24.0.4 official release

[thearchivalone]

Description of Bug

PSPSDK fails to build due to zlib.h not being found

How to Reproduce

1. Configure WSL2 on Windows
2. Install / upgrade to Ubuntu 24.0.4
3. Clone branch from repo
4. Build and install all required prerequisites
5. Run through the build process

Why Does This Happen

The build-essential package at one time installed the zlib-dev package by default. 24.0.4 switched the package to zlib1g-dev and removed it from build-essential.

Suggested Fix

Add a note to the documentation about this so that other people know to install the missing package before building. It's the only one like this. This issue was opened mostly to document that in case others run into the same issue.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for the bug report! As of now it uses Ubuntu 22.04 in CI and will update/fix as soon as possible when ubuntu-latest is set to version 24.04.

Anyone is appreciated if they make a PR for notice but this bug report is sufficient for more breaking changes.

It does seem like the virtual package libz-dev still exists. We could use that. That should probably work for all Debian and Ubuntu based systems.

Nice. If that's the case, I'll make a PR for that.

Very nice. I rarely use Ubuntu like this and forgot about virtual packages. That should help with backwards compatibility, right?

[sharkwouter]

Exactly, then we don't have to specify a version and it works with older systems too.

I don't see anything else here. This is closeable for me unless there's something I missed.

Great! Thanks for reporting this
