Hello everyone!
It's been a while since I've been checking the posts here, just had generally less time to spend online due to work and stuff. Either way, I've been playing around with OpenBSD for the past few days now and I would just like to ask whether anyone was able to run SyncTERM in it. I've been hopelessly attempting to compile it and to my non-programmer eyes it seems that I've been just reading elvish and can't seem to make progress.
I was able to get around in including header files that were not being detected but now I've been facing arcane errors such as "typedef redefinition with different types".
I apologize if this might sound really amateurish, if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

The person you want to talk about this with is Deuce, and he'll want to see the original errors (on the unmodified code). You can discuss this with him here: https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/tickets/

I've gotten it working in OBSD before, but it's been several years.
This weekend I'll see if I can get it running again on my OBSD box.
If you can send a reply to this to remind me when I get on tomorrow
it'd help make sure. Heh.
Good to see someone else playing around with OBSD here. :)

Yeah, it's more a curiosity for me than anything technically related. I ran FreeBSD on this machine a few months ago and lately I've been reading up on OpenBSD and figured I might as well give it a go. The experience is certainl different and there are things that needs getting used to. But all-in-all, t experience is not that different from FreeBSD, that's coming from a desktop user standpoint.

I've got my Proxmox server up and running, I should get an OSBD VM
going. It's been a long time since I ran the *BSDs, starting with
BSD/OS and then FreeBSD during the 1990s and early 2000s.
OpenBSD used to run on a ton of hardware, are there still ports for
lots of non-intel systems?

Looks like I'm having some issues compiling syncterm on my OBSD system, too. I'm running the latest version, not sure if you are or not, but this is the error blurb that I got in compilation...
Does anybody know if Deuce is still around?

How do you like Proxmox? How's it running on your hardware and what kind
of load are you putting it under? I'm thinking of looking into some virtualization solutions of the same sort at some point here, myself...
You can catch him in #synchronet (irc.synchro.net) and the sourceforge suppo (tickets) for syncterm. I've pasted the link before here, recently.
You need the wide (w) version of ncurses installed: http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix#errors
I like it a lot. I run ESXi at work, and it's a pain in the butt and picky about hardware. With Proxmox, it'll run on anything that Deboan runs on, it seems.
I've got an i7, 16 GB of RAM and an SSD, and it can run a couple of small VM just fine. I don't have anything running full time on it yet, but it feels l it's got some power to spare.

Just curious, but does he frequent DOVE-Net any more?

I know I'm pushing my luck here, but do you have any idea where to find the 'dev' version of the recent ncurses for OpenBSD?

Anyway let me know if this is the same error message you're getting
or not, we can get some information together for Deuce wherever he's at these days. :)

Hey Sprite,
Yes, this is exactly the error message that I was getting when I was trying to install syncterm too.

Alright, I reached out to Deuce on SourceForge and um... Forgive my fau memory but I think one other place, too. Anyway, as Digital Man said, hopefully he gets in touch with me and/or you (if you comment @ https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/tickets/41/ he may send you a line as wel regarding this soon here...
Can't believe I couldn't find the damn development library for the wide ncurses support anywhere for OpenBSD... Even with as limited as the support for OBSD seems at times that just doesn't seem right. I wonder if I'm missi something really obvious...

Wow, thanks for looking after this. I have tried compiling that patch and it still throwing me some errors. I haven't saved the logs but I'll try to do i again. Though honestly the kermit approach sort of works for me. Haha!
