  • compiling syncterm

    I bought a new rpi recently. Using a temporary sdcard, I successfully
    compiled syncterm and have been bbs'ing happily. A new sdcard came today
    and I've attempted to compile syncterm but it keeps failing. Saying that
    there is no target platform or something like that. I tried with 1.1,
    then 1.0.

    I attempted with the git version but the make process wouldn't even
    start.

    Couldn't get past 'make' on a raspberry pi 3b.

    Am I missing something that I did the other day? Same device,
    different sdcard. Didn't misspell make.

    The exact error message would be a good start.

    I was given meatlotion's script, and now I have a working syncterm.

    Thanks anyway

    Hey brother -

    I was setting up a new system and didn't have the tools yet to post the
    actual error. I had to swap sdcards and post the message then and was
    working off memory.

    Anyway, meatlotion's script fixed the problem.

    And then.

    This evening, I was checking out memory uilization on my new machine and
    was systematically closing programs, then relaunching them again. I'm
    running everything on an rpi3b and it's doing pretty kosher.

    I went to relaunch syncterm and it didn't launch at all. No error
    message, nothing I could find in /var/logs/ to glean why syncterm would
    no longer launch. Callign the app just gave me a new line of the command prompt. I'm running raspberry PI OS, fully patched on an rpi3b in tty.

    Even after a reboot, syncterm would no longer launch . So, I ran
    meatlotion's script again and, voila, it launched normally.

    If this happens again, I'd like to report good information for
    troubleshooting purposes. Where should I look if syncterm fails to
    launch again?
