Thank you for this nice makefile. However, although the installation seems to work, I cannot get to actually use it. The server that I installed mosh on using this makefile does know the command 'mosh' afterwards, but neither 'mosh-server', nor 'mosh-client'.
So running 'mosh --server=/home//bin/mosh-server usr@server' fails, printing

Option s is ambiguous (server, ssh, ssh-pty)

, the mosh help and

Please report bugs to mosh-devel@mit.edu.
Mosh home page: https://mosh.org
Connection to server closed.
/usr/bin/mosh: Did not find mosh server startup message.

Using the same command but with '[...]/bin/mosh-server' only gives the latter, since the server doesn't know the command mosh-server.

Can you tell me, what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you and have a nice day!
