Do you remember what you did to get golded working on the pi again?
I had it working perfectly and thought I had an image of that
backup, but I did not. <sigh>
I do have it compiling correctly, but when running it ./gedlnx
nothing happens or is logged.

Otherwise, keep in mind there is no separation between the -C and the location of your config file.. so executing golded needs to be:
./gedlnx -C/path/to/golded.conf
It could be as easy as that. ;)
It was. I knew there was a trick you told me before, and that was
it, no space after the -C. LOL thanks man.

Probably one of the only softwares I've encountered that does it that
way. That's the only reason I remember. ;)
Either way Golded is working! ;) Just need to mess around with the user
ID a bit to see if I can sync up last read pointers. (Alpha level BBS software and all)

I started to use GoldEd and got it set up with my Synchronet setup,
but I found GoldEd doesn't handle message group prefixes configured in SCFG. I thought I saw that Digital Man submitted a patch to GoldEd to enable that, but I don't remember seeing updated GoldEd binaries, and
I wasn't sure I felt like trying to apply the patch and building
GoldEd myself.
If he indeed submitted a patch, it most likely wasn't added in to Golded's sources. However, it's not very hard to apply patches so unless you just plain don't care to do so, it wouldn't be a big deal to download the latest Golded sources and add the patch(es) yourself.
If someone wants to make software for people to use, I don't see why
they wouldn't build and distribute the binaries themselves. Many
people don't have software development tools set up on their computers
(a Linux installation might have software dev tools more commonly than Windows though, since custom-building for the different Linux distros
is more of a requirement than on Windows). I suppose with a software development background I could do it, but still, you have to find out
what software development tools they used and set everything up
properly to build it.. And you might be out of luck (sometimes) if
they used an old version of a development tool that is no
longer available for download.

If the BBS software doesn't use a message base format that Golded
already supports, the pointers will never be the same. While I have no
Sounds more like you don't care to even attempt it (only due to more negative reasons you've given not to). But there are pretty clear instructions on how to compile for both Windows and Linux in the documentation, which comes with the sources. If I remember right, there are a couple options given for compiling on Windows. Also, seeing as though there's still people compiling Golded for both Windows and Linux these days, the tools are most likely still available for download.

It's JAM. I think it's just a matter of getting the right user id
set in the golded.conf file to be honest.
I just haven't taken the time. GoldEd isn't something I use much
anyway, and when I did try it, I'm not sure I liked it as much as
reading messages directly on my BBS.
