  • !include sbbsdefs.inc

    From Fang-Castro@FTPBBS to All on Wednesday, August 19, 2020 00:15:58
    I picked up a pack of all of -oblivious-'s mods for Synchronet and they all have "!include sbbsdefs.inc" in the .src files so I get a compile error.

    Edge of Oblivion BBS no longer exists otherwise I would've tried there first.

    Is there a comparable line I could put in the .src file so baja doesn't give a compile error? I'm figuring this isn't going to be the only problem I run into. What is/was SBBSDEFS.INC?

    These mods all look like there from 2004-2005. I don't know anything about programming baja/javascript =/ It's one reason I use Synchronet; maybe I'll learn.

    --thanks for any advice

    What is the error?

    MRO is still around.

    Synchronet BBS definitions. It still exists and you should have it in your "exec" directory.

    Cool. Sounds like maybe you need to specify the "-i /path/to/exec" argument on your baja command-line so that it can find the sbbsdefs.inc file.

    Or, if it's just a matter of case (e.g. SBBSDEFS.INC vs sbbsdefs.inc), create a symlink from SBBSDEFS.INC to sbbsdefs.inc (on *nix). If on Windows, then that would not be the problem.

    something like unable to include sbbsdefs.inc. i saved your reply, i think the rest of what you instructed me on will be helpful. thanks!

    I see you're running on Linux, so it's likely just the capitalization of the sbbsdefs.inc filename that's the issue. A symlink would work-around that. Or you could fix the .src file(s).

    OMG... that's probably it. Maybe if I wasn't having so much fun messing with muh BBS I'd get some sleep and stop making stupid mistakes =)

    that's my bbs and it's still up.
    just it shouldnt give an error with that msg.

    you're not giving enough information. what is the mod and the version and what is your compile error.

    you probably are compiling it in a directory there those files are not located. ---

    yeah that's probably it.

    next time when reporting a bug:

    + what version of synchronet and what os
    + what is the mod name and version and where can we download it
    + what is the exact error [screenshots are good]
    + what are you doing that causes this error.

    my bbs is still up. i should probably delete all my mods

    Digital Man straighten me but thanks for the help.

    I'm using your oneliners mod. =p~ I changed it around a little bit. I have a file called AFTER.ZIP I downloaded with all your mods in it. Gonna play around with all of 'em. Thanks for making these!
