README for GoldED users. Since MBSE BBS version 0.33.12 GoldED and MBSE BBS can be used together without problems as long as you use it to read the sysop mail. The mbsetup program can export a file called /opt/mbse/etc/golded.inc which will contain your main Aka's, Aka matching, sysop name and all your mail areas. This file is only (re)created if you change the global settings or one of the mail areas. The first time you must force this by making a change somewhere. Now create /opt/mbse/etc/golded.cfg, here is what I wrote: ; GoldED.cfg ; ; Internet Addressing ; INTERNETADDRESS Michiel_Broek@f2802.n280.z2.fidonet.org INTERNETGATE UUCP 2:292/875 ; ; OUTBOUNDPATH /SYS/usr/mail/out REPLYLINK chain STYLECODES yes ; ; ; MESSAGE READER ; DISPMSGSIZE KBYTES DISPATTACHSIZE KBYTES DISPLOCALHIGH YES DISPPAGEBAR YES VIEWHIDDEN YES VIEWKLUDGE NO VIEWQUOTE YES ; INCLUDE /opt/mbse/etc/golded.inc ; ; The end. Put in /opt/mbse/.profile the following line: export GOLDED=$HOME/etc When you now start GoldED you use it as the sysop. Make sure that the sysop's userrecord is the first user in the MBSE BBS userbase. If not, the lastread pointers are not right. Compile instructions for GoldED 3.0.1 written by Johannes Beekhuizen, 2:280/1018 * Unpack the sources in some directory (/tmp): cd /tmp tar -zxvf ???/ged_301.tgz This will create a directory golded-3.0.1, so if you did this in /tmp then there is now a directory called /tmp/golded-3.0.1 which will be called from now on. * Set the environment variables GSRC, GOBJ and GLIB to basedir. In a bash shell this is: export GSRC=/tmp/golded-3.0.1 export GOBJ=/tmp/golded-3.0.1 export GLIB=/tmp/golded-3.0.1 * Build the program 'gbuild': cd /gbuild make lnx cp gbldnx /opt/mbse/bin The location of gbldlnx is not important, as long as it is in your PATH. * Create the directories needed for compilation and installation: cd /goldlib make install * Next build GoldED: cd /goldlib/gall make lnx cd /goldlib/gcfg make lnx cd /goldlib/gmb3 make lnx cd /golded3 cp mygolded.__h mygolded.h Edit the file mygolded.h to suit your own taste. make lnx strip gedlnx cp gedlnx /opt/mbse/bin * Now build goldnode: cd /goldnode make lnx strip gnlnx cp gnlnx /opt/mbse/bin * Example configurations and documentation are in /golded3/cfgs and /golded3/docs.
