Got an error trying to compile the latest Synchronet. I searched for the file the compile was looking for. It is a part of libcrypto++-dev, which
is not listed as a prereq in the wiki but probably should be.

Anyway, I installed it but am still getting the error below.

Compiling events.c
In file included from events.c:4:0:
../sbbs.h:116:22: fatal error: cryptlib.h: No such file or directory
#include <cryptlib.h>

make[1]: Leaving directory '/sbbs/src/sbbs3/gtkuseredit'
GNUmakefile:171: recipe for target 'gtkuseredit' failed
make: *** [gtkuseredit] Error 2

Any ideas as to why it cannot find the now installed missing dependency?

Thanks.

If you don't have cryptlib.h on your system, then you didn't install the source code archive (or download from CVS) per the instructions.

Once the source code is installed, you should have more than one copy of cryptlib.h, e.g.:

/home/rswindell/sbbs/3rdp/gcc.linux.x64.debug/cl/cryptlib.h /home/rswindell/sbbs/3rdp/src/cl/cryptlib.h /home/rswindell/sbbs/3rdp/src/cl/cryptlib.h.orig /home/rswindell/sbbs/3rdp/win32.release/cryptlib/include/cryptlib.h

I am using the cvs method to install it, so I wonder why it did not pull it from there? Where do I put it when I download it myself?

Thanks!

code archive (or download from CVS) per the instructions.

Downloading the source is only shown as a step in the non-CVS instructions.
I am using CVS. FYI, it did not download the cryptlib zip file. I downloaded it on my own, later, and got a little farther, as you have seen. :)

If CVS is supposed to download it, it is not working. If it is not, then
there needs to be an extra step besides the current 1) wget and 2) make
steps that are listed under "Using CVS".

It seems to be working for everyone else and myself and the nightly builds.

The install/GNUmakefile does the CVS checkout (which includes download). I don't know if you were out of disk space or there was some other temporary issue with the CVS checkout/download. Was the "3rdp" directory even created? Were there any files within it?

Since I am a couple of versions behind, and don't keep up on the nightly builds, I thought maybe I should delete everything (but my backups) and
start over. I scrolled back through my terminal history, reran the wget
and make, and things seem to be much better now. :)

When I go to copy my backup ctrl, etc., directories back, are there any
files that I should edit rather than copy back? I am going from 3.15a to
the 3.17 version that would have downloaded last evening, if that helps.

Thanks!

It's a good idea to run "jsexec update.js".

If you have a customized text.dat, then you may need to merge in changes by hand. New lines default to the hard-coded text strings automatically, but some of the existing strings were changed between 3.15 and 3.17 in a non-backward compatible manner. Either over-write your text.dat with the one from CVS or perform a diff and merge.

Done! :)

I did not customize the text.dat file... well, if I did, I shall notice it
soon enough. :)

What about the AREAS.BBS file? Seems like I saw some discussion in one of
the echos about some changes to it for the new version of sbbsecho? I
probably need to check the wiki on that one.

There was no change in the areas.bbs file (or format). SBBSecho v3 does use sbbsecho.ini for configuration rther than sbbsecho.cfg, but if you run "jsexec update.js" it should convert that file for you automatically.

I did run it, and it claimed to have completed successfully, but what
I have for an ini file appears to be a conversion of a "stock" file and not
a conversion of my own. The usepacker and areafix info is all missing, and
the paths are not set right.

I checked the wiki and the documentation is still for the *.cfg file. The
ini layout appears to be different enough to be confusing without a map. :)

Do you still have your own sbbsecho.cfg file? You can also run "jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js" again and convert it again.

the paths are not set right.

Send me the files, the original .cfg and the converted .ini and I'll have a look-see.

echocfg still works however.

Yes, I do, but it is now called sbbsecho.cfg.old (see below). :)

I was actually able to get the jsexec update.js to work after all. I ran
it a couple of times and noticed it was not changing the stock ini file timestamp. I figured maybe that stock file was installed when I upgraded,
so I deleted it. Ran jsexec again. This time, it renamed my cfg file to cfg.old, and created an ini file based on my settings. Pretty nifty!

echocfg still works however.

Indeed. I had some issues with the 3.15 version sometimes doing odd
things. I have also been used to using the older DOS BBS programs where
you had to pretty much edit all of the config files by hand using Qedit. I
am sometimes more comfortable with editing the files myself, still, than
with a GUI.

You have stale dependencies and need to perform a "clean" operation first - as has been discussed here (or in Synchronet Programming) a lot lately.
