I have been playing with trying to update the windows vewrsion of SBBS. I downloaded a file that had all the exe directgory, I think I did anyway.... I'm getting an error everytime I go to read a message though... Something about a bin file for Avitars not being in the exec directory.

I do not know how to compile programs... what is the easiest way to update SBBS to it's current version??

Downloading the build archive (sbbs_dev.zip) is one step. Updating scripts etc is another:

http://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev

See Step 4. You can overwrite any .js stuff in your exec/ and exec/load/ directories assuming you haven't modified anything in there. If you do have customizations in there, they should be copied to mods/.

Be careful when it comes to updating files anywhere else (text/, ctrl/) as you don't want to overwrite your own customizations or config.

I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong, or what it is that I need to do.
I muddled through step 4... ran jsexec update and I still have an issue with the BBS looking for a bin file related to avitars.

If possible, please share the actual error message. (Always.)

Does the file 'exec/avatars.js' exist on your system?

Nope, and I fixed things kinda sorta... I have had a working copy of SBBS

http://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev

Item 2 of step 4 would have ensured that file's presence.

Nope, and I fixed things kinda sorta... I have had a working copy of SBBS going for some time... Raspberry Pi.... I could not get BinkD to work for me... Something was up and I couldn't get it to work. I was trying to upgrade my windws version and make that my production flavor....

Said f*uck it and used binkit un my Pi.... Still frustrated ... mail works though.
