Hi,

I've tried and tried to get Synchronet BBS running on my Raspberry PI 4 (ubuntu-server 20.04). I tried the 64bit and 32bit versions of Ubuntu.
No matter what, it keeps failing on an error jsversion.h.

I tried these instructions: http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:raspbian_install
I also tried these instructions (both the git and tarball methods): http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix

The package libmozjs185-dev as mentions in the instructions above is not existing in Ubuntu (libmozjs-68-dev and libmozjs-52-dev do exist and I have them installed).

It just won't get pass this error (See the error below).

Could someone help me please? I'm stuck!

THanks in advance!!

Those instructions are for Raspian, not Ubuntu.

If you want to go down the known-working path, use Raspian, not Ubuntu. I think we already talked about this in #synchronet?

Here's your real problem. You're missing that jsversion.h file, or it's somewhere the compiler can't find it; when C++ uses an #include, it essentially copies and pastes the file requested into position.

There's a good forum thread about this problem here: web.synchro.net/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=syncprog&thread=36519

I took a cursory look and I think if you run "cvs update -d" in your sbbs "src" directory before building, that should bring down the rest of the files you should need, but if this doesn't work I'd look in that thread and have a read.

Good luck!
