Ignore those warnings. I'm aware of those and they are there because of ancient code base. :)
BTW, make sure that Synchronet changes are actually there. I've pushed them to master just today. You may need to pull
from repo again.

Unfortunately there is a bug which hides usage message if no config found. I've tried to fix it, but had to revert it back, because correct fix is not that simple.

You have to have config file. You may start from simple config file from here:
https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus/blob/master/cfgs/config/simple.cfg
And then uncomment this line:
;AREAFILE SBBS R:\SBBS\ ; Synchronet BBS dir
Set correct path to Synchronet directory. That shall do the trick.
Thanks for help!
