   Shawn Highfield to Dane Beko   
   MBSE 1.07 - trying to compile   
   13 Apr 17 04:53:46   
   
    -=> Quoting Dane Beko to Robert Wolfe <=-   
      
    DB> And I've done this as well.   
      
     Here are the instructions from someone in another network that got me   
   going with my pi setup.   
      
   -------- Import ------   
      
   I build it on the Pi no problem at all.. No errors or anything.. you just   
   need to make sure you have the proper packages installed.   
      
   First clone the -current source (as root user)   
      
   --8<--   
   cd /tmp   
   git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/mbsebbs/code mbsebbs-code   
   --8<--   
      
   Now as root, enter this line to install all packages you need to successfully   
   build.   
      
   apt-get install xinetd telnetd zip unzip libc6-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev   
   automake arc joe libncurses5-dev libnspr4-dev xorg-dev bison libcap2-dev gdb   
   libsdl1.2-dev libgtk-3-dev lrzsz   
      
   There's a lot of stuff to download so it'll take a few minutes. Once finished   
   reboot the machine and login as root user (swap out of X session if needed   
   with CTRL-ALT-F4)   
      
   Now as root   
      
   cd /tmp/mbse-code   
   sh ./SETUP.sh   
      
   set a password for the mbse user   
      
   then LOGOUT and from the same TTY login login as the MBSE user   
      
   then as mbse user   
      
   cd /tmp/mbse-code   
   ./configure   
   make   
   su   
      
   make install   
   exit   
      
   You MUST login as the mbse user to be able to build and install correctly. If   
   you just su to the mbse user you will get errors when trying to make install   
   because you didn't follow instructions :)   
      
   You will have to split /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs into it's parts (telnet, binkp,   
   fido, tfido)   
      
   Now you can configure the BBS.. all configs must be done as mbse user, never   
   use root to do anything in /opt/mbse cuz you'll screw up permissions.   
      
   There are HTML docs for the mbsetup program. READ THEM! lol   
      
   To configure for the first time (as mbse user)   
      
   cd /opt/mbse   
   ./bin/mbtask   
   ./bin/mbsetup   
      
   -!- EOF ---   
      
   I've successfully built MBSE-current on both Pi's and on Debian 8/x64 so it's   
   almost guaranteed to build for you if you install everything that I listed.   
      
   Cavaet: you can debug missing libs fairly easily if you get an error   
   /usr/bin/ld - cannot locate -l   
      
    can usually be resolved if you apt-cache search    
      
   - NS   
   ----------------END IMPORT----------   
      
   Let me know,   
      
   Shawn   
      
      
   ... If it was a bet, you wouldn't take it.
