  • Husky Compile Problems

    # A subdirectory for the source files
    _SRC_DIR=/home/bbs/husky

    # A subdirectory for the files created during the build BUILDDIR=/home/bbs/Husky

    I believe relative paths are expected for these two parameters, not the absolute ones. That could be the reason you're getting weird paths like 'huskylib//home/bbs/husky/gnmsgid.c'. Did you try leaving the default values for _SRC_DIR and BUILDDIR?

    Not initially but, yes, I did eventually change some of them back to
    defaults. What happened was I read the comment in the huskymak.cfg about
    how you need to make changes if you are not running as root and, since the instructions say do not run as root I changed them.

    When you get to the "sudo make install" step, there are several paths that
    do need to be pointed to ones that only root has access to, so that
    statement is a little confusing.

    I believe you area also correct about some of them need to be relative, especially the BUILDDIR!

    I have tested hpt and so far it is working as expected. Thanks to you and johnny alpha for the help and encouragement!

    You are welcome!

    Side note on HPT... for a new BBS project I'm working on (ViSiON/3 - a re-ressurection of an old forum hack DOS BBS) I was using hpt for tossing, but ran into some issues with the hpt utils binary, so I ended up re-creating it in Go. It worked so well, I was able to port HPT over to Go as well (hyper-customized for ViSiON/3, but one less external binary!).

    Cool!! I noticed the custom tearline.

    Currently, hpt is tossing and scanning properly, but is doing its best to ignore any messages sent to "Areafix." I changed the loging levels where it should show any areafix errors but it isn't even acknowledging the messages have been received/are there.

    I added "areafix on" for the link in question (even though that is supposed to be the default) and double-checked the password. Still no dice. :/
