• problems compiling synchronet 3.16c on obsd

    From Khelair@VERT to Deuce on Wed Aug 31 08:49:34 2016
    Hey there, Deuce. I was just wondering if you are still able to support OBSD issues with compiling the latest synchronet version... I've finally got a bit of time to try getting my BBS back online, but I'm stumbling into several issues. Unfortunately, restoring my BBS (moved to a VM from a physical machine) is not going to be an immediate fix, due to an OS upgrade that's made the executables unable to find some of their libraries.
    So basically, at this point, when I'm trying to run the gmakefile, at least from the top level of the $SBBSHOME directory, the gmake process goes into what appears to be an infinite recursion spawning new gmake processes. Wanting to get past that without bothering you, I've also tried descending into the $SBBSHOME/src/sbbs directory and running a build from there, but that's failing for various reasons, as well.
    Please let me know if you're available to help on this issue at all and I'll put together a more conclusive pastebin to accompany a reply on this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated, I'm really hoping to get Tinfoil Tetrahedron back online sometime soon here.
    Best wishes.
