Platform Specific Notes
-
FreeBSD requires libiconv to be installed from ports in addition to other dependencies.
-
macOS makefiles are intended to be built with dependencies provided by macports, homebrew support will require significant changes.
-
NetBSD requires libiconv to be installed from pkgsrc in addition to other dependencies. Mosquitto should be installed from pkgsrc/wip.
-
OpenBSD also requires libiconv.
-
OpenIndiana does not have libssh or mosquitto in packages, so they need to be built separately, mosquitto requires c-ares. Requires libiconv.
-
DragonFlyBSD also requires libiconv.

cd MagickaBBS
git checkout v0.11-patch
git submodule init
git submodule update
Build the BBS
make www
Run setup.sh and answer the questions to install the initial configurations
./setup.sh
If you are going to run SSH, you will need to create keys. To do this
mkdir keys
ssh-keygen -f keys/ssh_host_rsa_key -N '' -t rsa
ssh-keygen -f keys/ssh_host_dsa_key -N '' -t dsa
Run Magicka
Run BBS
./magicka config/bbs.ini
The BBS will run by default on telnet only and on port 2023. Magicka may be run on a port under 1025, however additional configuration is required and not really recommended, the port can be configured in bbs.ini. Log on to your new bbs and create your sysop account!
