 DB> And I've done this as well.

  Here are the instructions from someone in another network that got me
going with my pi setup.

-------- Import ------

I build it on the Pi no problem at all.. No errors or anything.. you just
need to make sure you have the proper packages installed.

First clone the -current source (as root user)

--8<--
cd /tmp
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/mbsebbs/code mbsebbs-code
--8<--

Now as root, enter this line to install all packages you need to successfully
build.

apt-get install xinetd telnetd zip unzip libc6-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev
automake arc joe libncurses5-dev libnspr4-dev xorg-dev bison libcap2-dev gdb
libsdl1.2-dev libgtk-3-dev lrzsz

There's a lot of stuff to download so it'll take a few minutes. Once finished
reboot the machine and login as root user (swap out of X session if needed
with CTRL-ALT-F4)

Now as root

cd /tmp/mbse-code
sh ./SETUP.sh

set a password for the mbse user

then LOGOUT and from the same TTY login login as the MBSE user

then as mbse user

cd /tmp/mbse-code
../configure
make
su
<enter root pw>
make install
exit

You MUST login as the mbse user to be able to build and install correctly. If
you just su to the mbse user you will get errors when trying to make install
because you didn't follow instructions :)

You will have to split /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs into it's parts (telnet, binkp,
fido, tfido)

Now you can configure the BBS.. all configs must be done as mbse user, never
use root to do anything in /opt/mbse cuz you'll screw up permissions.

There are HTML docs for the mbsetup program. READ THEM! lol

To configure for the first time (as mbse user)

cd /opt/mbse
../bin/mbtask
../bin/mbsetup

-!- EOF ---

I've successfully built MBSE-current on both Pi's and on Debian 8/x64 so it's
almost guaranteed to build for you if you install everything that I listed.

Cavaet: you can debug missing libs fairly easily if you get an error
/usr/bin/ld - cannot locate -l<libname>

<libname> can usually be resolved if you apt-cache search <libname>

----------------END IMPORT----------

Let me know,

Shawn
