    Hi.

    I'm running Ubuntu Server 20.
    I'm installing the Synchronet BBS following the Non-CVS instructions.

    I following all commands from

    $ wget ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_src.tgz
    $ wget ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_run.tgz
    $ tar -xzf sbbs_src.tgz
    $ tar -xzf sbbs_run.tgz

    to.....

    $ echo RELEASE=1 > src/build/localdefs.mk

    But after write this command I receive this error message :

    sudo echo RELEASE=1 > src/build/localdefs.mk
    bash: src/build/localdefs.mk: No such file or directory

    I think I can't skip this passage because all of these are importants......

    I've continue installing other library but I get stuck when I've write the command /etc/init.d/sbbs start and the error is /etc/init.d/sbbs start
    Unsupported init type

    What can I do....because seems that localdefs.mk is missing

    Thank you so much for your answers.

    Best Regards

    Does your system use init.d (and not systemd)? Newer Linux systems mostly use systemd these days.

    What can I do....because seems that localdefs.mk is missing

    Thank you so much for your answers.

    localdefs.mk is optional and unrelated to your init.d/sbbs issue.

    ummm... why do you get only sbbs_src.tgz but try to also open sbbs_run.tg which is missing the 'z' in the name?

    there's also the matter of which directory you are in and which paths are stored that you're extracting... especially since other parts of what you pasted are starting in the root '/' but you may not be there and the archived weren't extracted there...

    In my experience, .tgz files (or .tar.gz files) need 2 steps to extract them. Typically these days I'll see a .tar.gz file, which is archived by tar and then zipped by gzip. When you unzip it, you then have a .tar file you have to extract (or, "un-tar"). I know .tgz is a shortened version of .tgz. I'd assume in this case .tg is what you might get when you un-gzip a .tgz, though I've never seen the .tg filename extension before.

    You need to build jsexec (run make in src/sbbs3) before you can run it.

    The first mistake is you didn't run make in src/sbbs3.

    In my experience, .tgz files (or .tar.gz files) need 2 steps to extract them.

    Adding the z option to a tar command line pipes the result through gzip.

    So,

    tar xzvf filename.tar.gz

    is the same as:

    tar xvf filename.tar.gz | gunzip

    If you unzip a .gz file, you'll get a tar formatted archive.

    If it was compressed with bzip2, then you use tar xjf ...

    That's right.. It's been a while since I've extracted a .tar.gz in Linux. But I remember doing 'tar zxvf' to extract a .tar.gz..

    Correct, though I had an odd one last week, where a bzipped tar wouldn't extract with -xjf, but it did extract when done in two steps.

    The -z tells tar to run gunzip on the file first.

    Yeah, those are the necessary flags -z (gunzip) -x (extract) and -f <filename>.
    But I usually throw in -v for verbose, so I can see what files are being extracted. Others did put the v in, but I left it out just to focus on the necessary options.
