Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
=====================================
Q. What flavors of Unix (and Unix-like operating systems) are supported?
A. Currently, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD are actively supported.
Additionally, QNX and Solaris-x86 have been known to work in the past,
but are not actively maintained.
Q. What distributions of Linux are supported?
A. Should work with any GNU/Linux-x86 distribution (e.g. RedHat, Mandrake,
Debian, Slackware, etc.).
Q. 64-bit?
A. Untested experimental support for 64-bit platforms is in CVS. Use the
directions available at
http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/docs/64bit.txt
in conjunction with this document for building and be prepared to deal
with
bugs.
Q. The installer (e.g. Linux-install from sbbsunix.tgz) segfaults, crashes,
or fails to get the file size of sbbs_src.tgz.
A. This installer has known issues and is currently *unsupported*. Do not
use
it. This installer (known to us as "sbbsinst") will be revamped and
re-released in the near future.
In the mean-time, follow the steps given in this document to download,
build, install, and run Synchronet for Unix.
Q. Linking error: undefined reference: '__ctype_b'
A: This is an issue linking the JavaScript library for Linux (libjs.a) on
RedHat Linux 9 and Mandrake Linux 9 using glibc v2.3.2-11+.
This issue has been resolved with the addition of libjs.so and
libnspr4.so
to the CVS repository (in the lib/mozilla directory). If you're having
this
problem, run "cvs update" in your lib and src/sbbs3 directories and
rebuild.
Another solution is to use the lib[moz]js.so file included with your
Linux
distribution (if it is). See installation steps 1.E and 1.F for more
details.
Q. Are non-x86 (Alpha, SPARC, 68k, PowerPC, etc) processors supported?
A. Not currently. Synchronet assumes a little-endian processor. It *may*
work
on other little-endian processors (e.g. Alpha), but hasn't been tested.
Big-endian support is currently being developed for the v3.20 time-frame.
Q. Will Synchronet ever support big-endian and/or 64-bit processors?
A. Yes, that is the plan.
