I bought a new rpi recently. Using a temporary sdcard, I successfully
compiled syncterm and have been bbs'ing happily. A new sdcard came today
and I've attempted to compile syncterm but it keeps failing. Saying that
there is no target platform or something like that. I tried with 1.1,
then 1.0.

I attempted with the git version but the make process wouldn't even
start.

Couldn't get past 'make' on a raspberry pi 3b.

Am I missing something that I did the other day? Same device,
different sdcard. Didn't misspell make.

The exact error message would be a good start.

I was given meatlotion's script, and now I have a working syncterm.

Thanks anyway

Hey brother -

I was setting up a new system and didn't have the tools yet to post the
actual error. I had to swap sdcards and post the message then and was
working off memory.

Anyway, meatlotion's script fixed the problem.

And then.

This evening, I was checking out memory uilization on my new machine and
was systematically closing programs, then relaunching them again. I'm
running everything on an rpi3b and it's doing pretty kosher.

I went to relaunch syncterm and it didn't launch at all. No error
message, nothing I could find in /var/logs/ to glean why syncterm would
no longer launch. Callign the app just gave me a new line of the command prompt. I'm running raspberry PI OS, fully patched on an rpi3b in tty.

Even after a reboot, syncterm would no longer launch . So, I ran
meatlotion's script again and, voila, it launched normally.

If this happens again, I'd like to report good information for
troubleshooting purposes. Where should I look if syncterm fails to
launch again?
