  • Got syncterm work in wine

    From ALAN@1:135/392 to ALL on Wed Aug 24 16:44:04 2022
    Hey,
    Got things under control with syncterm using wine.
    Gotta get the linux version on linux

    Seems a bit slow to react, but that is what you get from emulation.
    Since this is a test a responce would be nice.
    It will take time but I will get there.
    an't get it to work perfectly, perhaps front door has a linux
    interface.Truth is I am very close to gettingXP to go.




    It gets stuck a the language promt and wont take E as the language and d
    does not work either when install openxp in a wine setting.

    I did this recently. Grab syncterm-1.1-src.tgz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm

    Unpack that archive keeping directories intact.

    Go into that directory and cd src/syncterm

    run make "RELEASE=1" and if that is successful "sudo make RELEASE=1 install".

    You'll need gcc and friends installed for that to work. The build-essential meta package will do that on debian derivitives.

    Syncterm runs well here on the console and desktop nicely.

    Here it is!

    Yes, it is a step by step process.

    Not that I know of. Binkd runs nicely on linux. If your tosser can use a BSO outbound, that is what I would use. It's not as pretty as FD but it works well.

    Truth is I am very close to gettingXP to go.

    I hope you get that running well.
