    I get reports that DOS doors can't be ran on SBBS. I'm trying to run DOS doors on SBBS/Linux64 (Ubuntu). It says the door cannot be ran on the node. Whats the issue?

    Hello Jon

    I had that same error did a reread and found I didn't add USE_DOSEMU=1

    make install SYMLINK=1 USE_DOSEMU=1

    Laughing now just stuck on still getting them to work.

    Hope this helped.

    Dos doors work great under *nix with Synchronet with the correct setup.

    You need dosemu and will need to compile Synchronet with USE_DOSEMU=1 if you haven't already.

    http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dosemu

    Read up on those to get you started, there's a lot more information on it with some searches between the wiki, google, and on DOVE-Net.

    I had that same error did a reread and found I didn't add USE_DOSEMU=1

    make install SYMLINK=1 USE_DOSEMU=1

    Initially, I used RELEASE=1 USE_DOSEMU=1. However, on my second attempted of reinstalling Synchronet, SYMLINK=1 USE_DOSEMU=1 worked like a charm.

    Laughing now just stuck on still getting them to work.
