Hello!

I am completely new to Synchronet and I want to set it up on Slackware
for test purposes. Main goal is to have a web interface for certain
newsgroups.

I tried to build from the tarballs:

sbbs@localhost:~/src/sbbs3$ ls ~
3rdp/ ctrl/ docs/ exec/ install/ install-sbbs.mk node1/ src/ srun320d.tgz ssrc320d.tgz text/ web/ webv4/ xtrn/
sbbs@localhost:~/src/sbbs3$ SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec make symlinks setcap
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
make: *** [targets.mk:150: git_hash.h] Error 128
sbbs@localhost:~/src/sbbs3$

Did I do anything wrong?

kind regards

I recommens that just clone the repo (main branch)

https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs.git

then
cd src/sbbs3
make

As of right now, Digital Man's linux server appears to have hung again
which means gitlab is offline. This will also affect the wiki and other
bits we rely on.
Of course, you won't see this until it's all working again :)

Yes, the command line you're invoking is supposed to be run from the src/sbbs3 directory. What instructions are you reading?

I was reading https://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix#tarball_build_method

Although, I now used the git way and have compilation errors. I will investigate and maybe open a new thread here.

From what you pasted, it seems you missed step 5 there:
cd src/sbbs3

Although, I now used the git way and have compilation errors. I will investigate and maybe open a new thread here.

Looking forward to reading it.
