Hello There,
In attempting to do a fresh install of SBBS on a new install of Ubuntu v19.4. I get the following response when running make:
"No rule to make target 'cntnodes.bin', needed by 'all'. Stop."
This is after following the non-cvs instructions:
# wget ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_src.tgz
# wget ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_run.tgz
# tar -xzf sbbs_src.tgz
# tar -xzf sbbs_run.tgz
# cd /sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1
# cd /sbbs/xtrn/sbj; make
# cd /sbbs/exec
# ln -s ../src/sbbs3/gcc.*.exe.release/* .
# ln -s ../src/sbbs3/*/gcc.*.exe.release/* .
# make
The only change I needed to make was changing the "cd" paths from
/sbbs/... to /home/sbbs/...
When I run the make statement I get the "No target" response mentioned above
My hope was to end up with a current (Daily) install of Synchronet.
If I do a CVS install then Synchronet will install but the executables will not be current (As in newest).
It is usually simply a case of me missing a step. But I can't see what I might of missed.

i'm fairly sure that someone will have already pointed out that the CVS files are the newest... the daily archives may be behind up to
24
hours or so...

why??? what would a script do? the update script already automatically pulls text.dat and compares it with the currently installed
one... i
see no need for a text.dat specific script at all... besides, these scripts won't do you any good on winwhatever anyway...
you pop out these quick short online responses/posts and that's all we get... there's a dearth of information/reasoning/explanation
lacking

ask again, what would you expect a text.dat script to do and why?? i don't understand what "so much work" you are speaking of... the
synchronet installs i've worked with have never modified the text.dat file...

This is what using Find & Replace in a text editor would be good for.
only 1 problem the colors are used in different places. i want to assign them.

Those are high-intensity (bright) colors. You suggested that you might have problems reading some of "the dark colors". Typically only
dark
blue is difficult for the average user to read, so I avoid using that color for text. But the other normal-intensity (dark) colors are
normally easy to read. That's why I asked if you had a visual impairment.
Perhaps you just need to turn up the screen brightness on your iPad?

Hello There,
In attempting to do a fresh install of SBBS on a new install of Ubuntu
v19.4. I get the following response when running make:
"No rule to make target 'cntnodes.bin', needed by 'all'. Stop."
This is after following the non-cvs instructions:
# wget ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_src.tgz
# wget ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_run.tgz
# tar -xzf sbbs_src.tgz
# tar -xzf sbbs_run.tgz
# cd /sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1
# cd /sbbs/xtrn/sbj; make
# cd /sbbs/exec
# ln -s ../src/sbbs3/gcc.*.exe.release/* .
# ln -s ../src/sbbs3/*/gcc.*.exe.release/* .
# make
When I run the make statement I get the "No target" response mentioned above
So there are 3 "make statements" in the list of instructions above. Which gave
you "No target"?
The last make is in the exec directory and that's where the "cntnodes.bin" error would've come from. Most likely, because the earlier make in src/sbbs3 failed to build. That make must succeed before you can continue on with the remaining steps.
My hope was to end up with a current (Daily) install of Synchronet.
If I do a CVS install then Synchronet will install but the executables will >> not be current (As in newest).
I don't follow. Getting the source from CVS is actually *newer* than getting i
from the tgz files which are only updated nightly, at the most frequent.
Not sure, but I suspect you need to rerun this line:
cd /sbbs/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1
... before you can run "make" in exec.
