Ok, so I am trying to install an sbbs instance on a raspberry pi 4, running Ubuntu Server 20.04.
After the make install SYMLINK=1 USE_DOSEMU=1 command, I get:
[a bunch of all text, all the way to the script trying to recognize my OS] UNAME_MACHINE = aarch64
UNAME_RELEASE = 5.4.0-1008-raspi
UNAME_SYSTEM = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #8-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 8 11:13:06 UTC 2020
configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
I wanna switch my sbbs to this server, as the laptop I am using it less than rock solid... I thought ubuntu server was a great choice; and since 20.04 was installable on my Raspberry Pi I gave it a go. Any reason its not installing easily? THANKS - and I just want on PAUSE mode. Turned off, no rush...

Looks like the build for mozjs is failing. Maybe try using the system's libmozjs as instructed here: http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix#getting_building

I don't understand that last bit.
You can't run DOSEMU on a Pi, it needs a x86 (or x86_64).Thank you; I had thought that since I was running a standard flavor of linux (ubuntu server)... but understand what you're stating. I still think its better for me, as DoorParty/BBSLink will be fine; but I'll be sure to drop that off when I compile next.

QEMU is something like dosemu, but different. It is possible to run
QEMU on a Pi but it's not as well known as dosemu so the setup isn't widely known.

Yeah, Qemu is one of the options for a Pi, since it does emulate the CPU.

QEMU could be a solution on other architectures too..
I have read some folks can't run TW2002 under dosemu. I wonder if QEMU would work better?

One thing to mention, is if you're using QEMU to limit your doors to
only one node at a time.

I know DOSBox has that limitation, but Qemu too?

it's rare that you will get 2 people on at the same time and even more rare that they want to play the same doorgame.

With QEMU, you *MIGHT* be able to get the NT4 client drivers for SMB to work with relaxed server config... that may work with share.exe tsr,
then you'd need to do a drive mount to an SMB windows file share.

Yeah, though dialling back the security on modern versions of Windows can be a
challenge! :) Well, I'd also have to install NetBEUI or IPX/SPX on the "server" machine, because TCP/IP with Windows networking chews up a LOT of conventional memory.

I spent about 20minutes just trying to find a download location that worked when I posted... So that might be enough of a hurdle by itself.
I thought I had downloaded the drivers with my DOS image files onto my NAS, but may have tossed it a few years back or something. Really old bits like NT4, etc don't seem to be on MSDN either now.
For the server, not sure if NetBEUI is a samba option, or if you'd be better off with WFW in a VM. For that matter, I wonder if WFW VM in
QEMU on Pi would work at all reasonably. Considering how much of this stuff originally ran on low-end 386/486 systems with megs (not gigs) of ram in the first place.
