I think Ubuntu is coughing on the gmake statement... the ones found in the instructions given.
I use ubuntu 9 and the gnu make is installed as make.
but you need to copy the GNUmakefile to makefile.
make -f GNUmakefile should work just fine. NO need to copy or rename GNUmakefile.

If you type 'su' and press enter, then it asks for a password, you have
just become the root user and can do what you need to do. You can also 'sudo' each command to run a command as root. Example:
sudo apt-get install <packagename>
apt-get install {name of package}
also, you have to compile as ROOT.

I have been playing around with Ubuntu as of late. I have tried to use Rob's guid to install Synchronet on my Ubuntu machine and I cannot seem to make it fly.
I think Ubuntu is coughing on the gmake statement... the ones found in the instructions given.
Do U have any suggestions???

Until you want to run some multi-user dos doors on your bbs.. ;)
I will use the following when I want root.
sudo su
Though it's considered better form to sudo those processes that need it.
sudo md /sbbs
sudo chown YOURUSERNAME /sbbs
proceed until you get done with the build...
create a BBS, sbbs or synchronet user
sudo chown sbbs /sbbs
setup the services to launch. I think you need build-essential and ncurses-dev to build synchronet in Ubuntu, not sure what else.

I had no problem finding root. didn't even have to ROOT for it... lol
I did have problems finding out how to install the extra dev stuff synch needs.
In linux, the 'root' user is the superuser, the system administrator... I haven't paid much attention, but I know that ubuntu is a rootless dist, which may complicate things if that's what you use.
If you type 'su' and press enter, then it asks for a password, you have
just become the root user and can do what you need to do. You can also 'sudo' each command to run a command as root. Example:

I was able to get into the root... I still had errors during the compile, I would just assume that that is not a good thing.
Moreover, and more importantly, when I finish the process I cannot run scfg sbbs.
I'll try a recompile and upload the errors for all to see.
Thanx for your help thus far. I have learned alot.

because you can't install Synchronet via apt-get, I don't think. Unless someone made a RPM package
for it and got it put in the repos. I'm unaware
of that happening, though.
LOL, good.. I just thought it to be awful strange that a linux box would'nt have a root login.. just don't sount like a linux I would want to run.
Moreover, and more importantly, when I finish the process I cannot run sc or sbbs.
try ./sbbs or ./scfg instead if you have'nt already.
I, for one, have been working on a debian package for Synchronet, though I don't know that it'll make it in to the official repositories... (For instance, installations to /opt is no longer acceptable in the Debian repository...)

Why would you want to install it to /opt?
Why not either install it to your home directory,
or have it make it's own home directory
(maybe with a warning label that it's going to create a new user, or something)?

I just got Ubuntu (32bit version), and I'm a bit out of my comfort zone here---
because I have been using nothing more than Windows.
I am using Windows 7 (32 bit), and I want to install it. Now I already tried
it via booting from the cd (demo) only without installing the software. Before
I install it in it's own partition (drive D) I am wondering if I install it in
Windows 7 first will this damage my ability to boot back into Windows?
I guess what I am wanting to say is that if, and when I decide to do a full install, and I uninstall it from Windows 7 will it hurt my main boot file?
I'm very new to this whole linux thing, and I just don't want to damage my system in any way.
Can you folks also tell me some of the do's, and don'ts before I take this on?
Thanks ahead of time.

The best advice I can give in your situation is to install VMWare player
or virtualbox and have at it as a virtual machine. Once you're
comfortable with whatever flavor of Linux you choose, you can (later on) either dual-boot or do a complete switch to a Linux environment.
(I realize that 'integrity' and 'Windows' is an oxymoron in some
circles, but that's a different discussion.)
