    Hello everyone and yes I am going to state, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    How poetic in todays time!


    Anyway I had to state wow is the response time fast with the linux version of SBBS.

    Question though, if I didn't use SYMLINK=1 but missed adding USE DOSEMU=1 Other then a (chill) fresh install what does the added link add? And can I do something now?

    Yeah, just include the "symlinks" in your make command-lines. http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix#updating

    SYMLINK=1 tells the script to create soft-links in sbbs/exec to the sbbs binaries where they are compiled instead of copying them to sbbs/exec... if you
    are not tight on drive space, leaving it out is ok...

    FWIW: i have two scripts that i wrote to manage an sbbs install and keep it updated with the latest code... one does a bare metal install and build while the other is the one that is run the most to update and build new code... i thought i had them in
    repos on my github but apparently i do not... i will have to rectify that sometime... i did share them on a paste site but don't recall the link to it ATM... if you're interested, let me know and i'll get them into a repo... several folks have used them
    with success :)

    I used to forget to inlude USE_DOSEMU often.

    You can add to or create, if it's not there, localdefs.mk in /sbbs/src/sbbs3 which just contains

    USE_DOSEMU=1

    The build system will use this at compile time and add it automatically.

    I also have a build script that downloads and ocmpiles the source plus other bits and bobs. It's worth creating a script to do it for you, it leaves less
    to chance and memory.

    Agreed I see a lot of times I better write that down!

    Thanks for the reply...

    It's simple enough. INC is used if I want to a "one off" update of a
    particular file that may have been changed. pushd and popd keep the current directory so it'll return me where I came from. You could add your
    USE_DOSEMU=1 SYMLINKS=1 in the make command here or, as I meantioned, use
    the localdefs.mk file.

    If you customize your text.dat file you may not wanted to update it.

    #!/bin/bash

    INC="text/menu/editor.asc"

    pushd /sbbs
    cvs update -d src 3rdp exec docs xtrn ctrl/text.dat ${INC}
    cd /sbbs/src/sbbs3
    make -j3
    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
    echo "Error in compilation"
    exit 1
    fi
    cd /sbbs/exec
    jsexec update
    popd

    SYMLINK=1 tells the script to create soft-links in sbbs/exec to the sbbs binaries where they are compiled instead of copying them to sbbs/exec... if you are not tight on drive space, leaving it out is ok...

    Leaving it out of the install script means the binaries will be copied from the
    build output dirs to your exec dir. Then subsequent rebuilds won't take effect (be executed) unless you manually copy the binaries yourself or use the "install" target when
    running the re-build make command-lines.

    I know you know this, but for everyone else: Once the symlinks are created in exec, they don't normally need recreated unless you switch between release and debug builds (or change your build directory for any other reason). By defualt,
    the GNUmakefiles
    in src/sbbs3/* don't copy or (re)symlink the output files.

    If you're not going to use symlinks, then I suggest adding the "install" target
    to your make command-lines when rebuilding in src/sbbs3, etc. so that the newly
    built binaries will be copied into your exec directory.

    Yeah I'm likely to use the install target anyway, too used to that with other software. :)
