I am trying to make a captive portal wifi network using my raspberry pi 4 after doing this steps :

 sudo apt update
 sudo apt upgrade
 sudo apt install git libmicrohttpd-dev
 cd ~
 git clone https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash.git
 cd ~/nodogsplash
 make
 sudo make install

editing nodogsplash.conf

 sudo nano /etc/nodogsplash/nodogsplash.conf

to 

GatewayInterface wlan0  
GatewayAddress 192.168.220.1
MaxClients 250
AuthIdleTimeout 480

and then run the nodogsplash i got:

pi@raspberrypi:~/nodogsplash $ sudo nodogsplash
[5][Mon Jan 13 17:33:54 2020][14375](src/main.c:472) Starting as daemon, forking to background

I had the same problem today. It looks like there is a bug in the newest versions of nodogsplash.

The version from the 29th of December works fine for me. You can simply checkout this version.

...
git clone https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash.git
cd ~/nodogsplash
git checkout 41c8752f6217886ee4a3f048578d867cdcc04cd6
make

I have no idea why, but if you increase the debug level to 2 or 3, then it works:

sudo nodogsplash -d2
