Hi All,

I seem to be stuck trying to compile SmapiNNTPd.

I have hpt installed with DYNLIBS=1, PREFIX=/usr/local & LIBDIR=${PREFIX}/lib in huskymak.cfg.

I had to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/your_lib.conf and then run sudo ldconfig to allow husky to run.

$ hpt
hpt/lnx 1.9 2023-12-21

When I try and compile SmapiNNTPd (git clone https://github.com/ftnapps/smapinntpd.git) I see:

$ make linux
make -f Makefile.linux
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/smapinntpd/src'
gcc -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -DPLATFORM_LINUX -D__PROGPROT_H__ -c main.c -o main.o
In file included from main.c:1:
nntpserv.h:22:10: fatal error: smapi/msgapi.h: No such file or directory
22 | #include <smapi/msgapi.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [Makefile.linux:37: main.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/smapinntpd/src'
make: *** [Makefile:15: linux] Error 2

I've also downloaded smapi-2.2.4-src.tar.gz from https://sourceforge.net/projects/husky/ and extracted it to smapinntpd/src:

$ ll smapi/msgapi.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 15K Feb 11 2003 smapi/msgapi.h
$ ll smapi/progprot.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 2.9K Oct 25 2002 smapi/progprot.h


Does anyone have any pointers as to how I can get this compiled & running?

eek, redhat-based distro perhaps?

strictly from a C standpoint not knowing about husky much.. typically you would build and install smapi separately if it's used this way.. it's not looking in the folder you think it is (but perhaps instead somewhere like /usr/local/include/smapi which might be it's post-install home)

Where are these located:

libsmapi.a
libsmapi.so
libsmapi.so.2.5
libsmapi.so.2.5.0

If they aren't in /usr/local/lib, then you might need to make a symlink or point your LIBDIR in huskymak.cfg to where they actually are.

libsmapi.so & libsmapi.so.2.5 were already in /usr/local/lib as links. libsmapi.so.2.5.0 wasn't so I made a symbolic link for that one as well.

libsmapi.a wasn't there either, I found it in ~/husky/smapi/Build & copied that over:

But still the same message about missing the smapi/msgapi.h file:

I notice that I have smapi 2.5 which doesn't include the smapi/progprot.h file also referenced in nntpserv.h, but it is there in the smapi-2.2.4-src.tar.gz archive I downloaded.

So I think what I did was I edited nntpserv.h and changed those two lines.

#include "/home/user/src/husky/smapi/smapi/msgapi.h"
#include "/home/user/src/husky/smapi/smapi/progprot.h"

... and it compiled. It may not be the best solution, but I had the same problems you did and when I got fed up I just started trying to point directly to files it was looking for. ;)

I notice that I have smapi 2.5 which doesn't include the smapi/progprot.h file also referenced in nntpserv.h, but it is there in the smapi-2.2.4-src.tar.gz archive I downloaded.

Funny thing I just noticed. I don't have progprot.h on my entire system, but changing that line to point directly to the smapi directory still worked. So maybe as long as it finds msgapi.h you're good to go. ;)

This worked, thank you. I'm not sure why I didn't consider using absolute paths, but that was the solution.

I was able to add in Carlos' MODE READER and UTF-8 patches, so if all went
well this message should be sent using SmapiNNTPd with a proper UTF-8
kludge from my iPhone.

I've got these files in /usr/local/include/smapi, but I have to confess that I cannot remember if I put them there by myself or not.. No need to edit nntpserv.h.

Please take a look at Makefile.linux. Is progprot.h "optional"? :

===
ifneq ($(wildcard progprot.h),)
PLATFORMDEF = -DPLATFORM_LINUX
else
PLATFORMDEF = -DPLATFORM_LINUX -D__PROGPROT_H__

Seeing as though we are probably using the exact same Makefile.linux, yes. Yes it is. ;)

Looks like it works just fine from my end. ;)

FYI, all of the other patches you did to Jamnntpd, also work on Smapinntpd. Make sure to read the "Test" thread here started by Tommi, commenting out that one line seems to fix the FROM field in all newsreaders, including Thunderbird. ;)
