  • Building SyncTerm from source on macOS

    From AKAcastor@21:1/162 to All on Wed Mar 20 21:27:40 2024
    Is anyone familiar with building SyncTerm from source on macOS? I haven't found specific instructions for macOS, and the documentation seems ... scattered.

    I tried building the source .tgz and from Synchronet git and didn't succeed with either. It's unclear whether I am missing a step building or missing dependencies.

    If anyone is familiar with it, I could use a walkthrough! Thanks!

    Yes, I am. Or you could reach the author, Deuce in #synchronet at irc.synchro.net

    I suppose you would be familiar with it! :) I am going to try to catch Deuce on IRC one of these evenings, but I am not going to promise I won't be back to ask you questions also. ;)

    Thanks for the reply Rob, I am sure I have seen you post this before so I appreciate your patience having to repeat yourself!
