Error compiling Dolphin's netplay build (5.0-321) under Pop!_OS Linux (Ubuntu 17.10)

Hello, I am attempting to compile Dolphin 5.0-321 under Ubuntu 17.10. I have installed all the right dependencies, however, compilation fails with this error:
In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/include-fixed/limits.h:194:0,
                from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/include-fixed/syslimits.h:7,

static const int CHAR_WIDTH = 8;
                 ^
What is the problem here? I am running a 64 bit system with an i7-7700HQ.
Thanks in advance.

This problem was fixed in 5.0-1823. If you need to use 5.0-321, you can backport the fix by opening Source/Core/VideoBackends/OGL/RasterFont.cpp and replacing every instance of CHAR_ with CHARACTER_ (or something else that isn't CHAR_), like in this changeset: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/4496/files

Thank you! It compiled, however, I still could not Netplay with my brother. We both just ended up getting the Faster Melee build.
