Hello everyone!ããIt's been a while since I've been checking the posts here, just had generallyãless time to spend online due to work and stuff. Either way, I've been playingãaround with OpenBSD for the past few days now and I would just like to askãwhether anyone was able to run SyncTERM in it. I've been hopelessly attemptingãto compile it and to my non-programmer eyes it seems that I've been justãreading elvish and can't seem to make progress. ããI was able to get around in including header files that were not being detectedãbut now I've been facing arcane errors such as "typedef redefinition withãdifferent types".ããI apologize if this might sound really amateurish, if anyone would be able toãpoint me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.ããCheers,ãAtroxi ãã... I'm back again, the question is for how long.ã--- MultiMail/OpenBSD v0.52ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

My last incarnationãof my BBS was actually on OBSD, but it's been about 4 years since that wasãactive now. Which reminds me, I really need to change my login screen toãreflect the new parameters that my BBS is running on, it's all lies right now. ã:'Dã I've used FreeBSD before, too, but it's been much longer since I've usedãthat reguarly. I've had it installed a few times for very brief periods ofãtime on a couple of systems, but I haven't used it regularly since probablyãsometime before 2010. Last time I installed it on something it certainlyãlooked like it'd come a long way, though. I guess I'm not really sure what theãattraction of FreeBSD over Linux for desktop use is at this point; seems likeãLinux has a greater software collection... Though I do like being able to lookãdown my nose at a Linux user when I tell them that I'm using BSD. *laugh*ã OpenBSD is definitely different from FreeBSD, though. It's kind of funnyãhow even the admin tools change at times (ie sudo vs doas). Keeps yaãon your toes!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Tinfoil Tetrahedron BBS - skulking seedily against the Brave New Worldã

I've got a buddy whom I think is getting ready to set it up, too, soãI've been considering it for a little while here.

Haha!ãã Not a problem, I want it working on OBSD again, too. ;)ã Yeah it was throwing me errors again, too. Made it a lot further along inãthe compilation process, though. I thought that I'd posted about it on theãticket that I made on sourceforge for Deuce, but maybe I was just dreamingãabout that. *grin* I'll check where I was at and see about getting on thatãagain today.ã God it's been forever since I've used kermit. I think the last time Iãused it I was working with a 1200bps modem with a really unreliable connectionãto a cracked account at the local college. :'Dãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Tinfoil Tetrahedron BBS - skulking seedily against the Brave New Worldã
