Hello There,

I decided to install Golded+ (gpl115-20161221) on a 64 bit Ubuntu box. The compile seems to complete ok. Except for a BUNCH of warnings during the compile. I used the dist-gpl.sh script to perform the compile. The ZIP archive (gpl115-20161221.zip) is created as expected. After the Golded file extraction is completed and I go to run/load Golded+.

When I run the golded (./golded) script to load gedlnx I get the following response:

"./golded: 31: [: -a: unexpected operator"

Line #31 of the golded script is:

"if [ -n $SCREEN -a -s $SCREENRC_GOLDED ]; then"

Any thoughts as to what might be causing this behavior?

If I try to load gedlnx without using the script. Nothing happens and I am returned to the terminal command prompt.

Change this to:

And try again...

Is a golded.log file created? Does it have any clues?

Hi Jeff,

On 2017-01-06 08:54:59, I wrote to you:

"if [ -n $SCREEN -a -s $SCREENRC_GOLDED ]; then"

Change this to:

if [ -n "$SCREEN" -a -s "$SCREENRC_GOLDED" ]; then

And try again...

And if this doesn't work. What is the output of the command: "ls -l `which sh`" Maybe your shells '[' / test command doesn't support the '-a' option?

Bye, Wilfred.

Hello Wilfred,

When I run the golded (./golded) script to load gedlnx I get the
following response:
"./golded: 31: [: -a: unexpected operator"

Line #31 of the golded script is:
"if [ -n $SCREEN -a -s $SCREENRC_GOLDED ]; then"

Change this to:
if [ -n "$SCREEN" -a -s "$SCREENRC_GOLDED" ]; then
And try again...

When I run the golded script with the quotes placed as indicated I don't get the "unexpected operator" response. But... gedlnx doesn't load either. I am immediately returned to the terminal prompt.

If I try to load gedlnx without using the script. Nothing happens and
I am returned to the terminal command prompt.

Is a golded.log file created? Does it have any clues?

Now, If I load gedlnx directly (Without the golded script) golded loads and I am able to create a test netmail (No echomail areas defined yet). An empty golded.log file is created. I currently have a rather simple config file in place as this is both a fresh install of Linux (Ubuntu) and Golded on this spare machine. I also have a fresh install of SBBS also installed.

It should be noted that my prior attempt at installing/compiling Golded+ was from the source code file gpsrc-115-20161221.tgz. After compiling loading gedlnx did nothing. This time I compiled Golded+ using the gpl115-20161221.zip file created by the running of the dist-gpl.sh script. Now, Golded+ actually loads when gedlnx is run directly. In neither case does the running of the golded script cause Golded (gedlnx) to load.

I've gotten used to using Golded (Win32) but I prefer running Linux rather than Windows. <g>

"./golded: 31: [: -a: unexpected operator"

Simply start the compiled binary with -Cconfig.cfg like this:

gedlnx -C/usr/local/etc/golded+/golded.cfg

I had a closer look at the script. And it's strange you even get that far into the script. When you don't have a Russion locale installed you shouldn't get past line 15 of the script. And that just executes the gedlnx...

I don't use that script or anything to run...

But the behavior you describe matches what happens when you don't have a golded.cfg created or if you do golded can't find it

I use:

./golded @S A -C~/fido/golded/goldedMSG.cfg

I compile using the standard make files included, sudo make, and then I move the created binaries to a ~/fido/golded/bin/ directory and run it from there.


I create a BASH alias to run this, so all I do at the CLI is golded... and off it goes...

Do you have a defined golded.cfg defined? Location?

At a minimum this needs:

USERNAME Rick Christian
ADDRESS 1:135/377
AREADEF NETMAIL "Netmail" 0 Net Opus /home/xx/fido/netmail/

Also take not that if you use VERY WIDE terminals golded will CRASH seg fault and/or not run as well.

A bug report offers a fix for that, at least for reading, which I've added to my versions, but the internal editor still seg faults on wide terminals.

The screenfuls of warnings, while "techincally" not a problem for now.. portend
to issues later when the "deprecated" methods used are removed from gcc.

Hello Wilfred,

about: "Re: Golded+ on 64b Linux":

I had a closer look at the script. And it's strange you even get that far into
the script. When you don't have a Russion locale installed you shouldn't get past line 15 of the script. And that just executes the gedlnx...

The implied suggestion from the Golded scripts was to use the golded script to launch Golded. But upon examining the script file it became evident that it dealt with ".ru" Russian locales. Hence my decision to try to launch Golded manually. After first downloading the Golded+ source I had setup a basic golded.cfg file to use in running Golded. At first using the source obtained from the gpsrc-115-20161221.tgz. Running ./gedlnx (With golded.cfg in the same directory as gedlnx) left me right back at the command prompt.

After obtaining the golded+ source from the gpl115-20161221.zip which was created from running the dist-gpl.sh script and compiling Golded+. Loading gedlnx (Again with golded.cfg in the same directory as gedlnx caused Golded+ to
load ok. This is without specifying a golded config file on the commandline.

I will write a small bash file to load Golded in the future and also complicate
the config file more to meet my particular needs. <g>

Simply start the compiled binary with -Cconfig.cfg like this:
gedlnx -C/usr/local/etc/golded+/golded.cfg

Initially Golded+ seemed to load ok by just running ./gedlnx. That is with golded.cfg residing in the same directory as gedlnx. But I totally understand specifying a particular config file on the commandline.

i just edited the script ;)


==== Begin "golded" ====

plus i want to see the CP437 stuff as close to correct as possible so i use a wrapper tool and execute it like this
