• Haiku & MagiTerm

    From apam@21:1/101 to All on Thursday, June 09, 2022 23:36:07
    Hey

    Seems there was a bit of interest around Haiku OS lately, I added the Haiku/BeOS password stuff to magiterm, so password saving now works there too.

    You will need to compile it, but it's pretty straight forward, just install libsdl2_devel, sdl2_image_devel libssh_devel cmake, and git from haiku depot

    then you can:

    git clone https://gitlab.com/magickabbs/MagiTerm

    mkdir MagiTerm/build
    cd MagiTerm/build
    cmake ..
    make

    and run the MagiTerm binary from there

    I'm using it on Haiku right now to type this message :D

    Wait! You're the author of Magicka bbs software? I installed and compiled a 6 year old abandoned source while on the MRC meetup last night and had some ppl in chat come check it out :D - This repo looks fairly recent, yeah?

    I also found someone that made some docker images for people to spin up. I'm guessing they have doors setup and everything but i haven't taken a look yet:

    I guess i'll have to go check out magiterm now ;)

    ... Honk if you love peace and quiet!

    Yeah, it's the most recent. I started over with Talisman when I stopped working on Magicka, I believe there are still one or two boards running it so always happy to fix bugs if / when they arise, but either no one is running it anymore or there's been no bugs in a good while.

    Ha! Thats me.

    I dont use magicka - and if I recall that image is probably an old version of magicka. I didnt have doors setup that that image shouldnt stop you setting them up I guess.

    I'm now trying to figure out how to install MagiTerm to some /usr/local and have it listed in the installed Applications.

    Yeah, Haiku is a bit different, it's not a linux distribution, but a different operating system all together, it's made with the idea of being compatible with beos and the kernel was originally based on the newos kernel.

    Haiku's programs are stored on a readonly filesystem it seems and are installed via haiku depot, though there is a place you can put third party applications though I can't remember where it is right now.

    The best solution would be to make a port, and submit it to haiku ports, but not sure I want to do that - ie another thing to maintain.

    Fantastic! Will be looking at doing this next week...due to my work week being Thursday-Sunday during the evening shift. Once I get this up & running...will setup my old EEE netbook.

    Thank you so much again!

    [Where to install binaries in Haiku OS?]
    on arch /bin/somedirector/files

    Haiku is linux-like, but created from BeOS - the structure is different. Currently I have them in /boot/home/system/non-packaged/bin and /lib ; but I have a topic out on Reddit that will hopefully get answered soon.

    If I new the OS a bit better it'd be no biggy - but I'll get it installed in the 'Applications' listing soon enough.

    :P

    I agree with you here - only because your style of development is so fluid and quick-moving... theres a way to get it done and I'll post the solution once I get it... you prolly read my other reply that I currently have it stuffed in /boot/home/system/non-packaged/bin - and that allows you to run it with only 'MagiTerm' in the terminal.

    Not sure if this has been answered already, but can this be ported to the raspberry pi?

    Sorry if you already were asked this but the wife has had honey do lists and there were a few days I was only partially reading posts.

    Yes! There's even packages and a repository for raspberry pi os 10 and 11, at:

    https://software.opensuse.org/package/magiterm

    if you're using a different distro on your pi (or even something like freebsd / netbsd) you should be able to compile it fairly easily. If you need any help with this let me know. It uses cmake, so fairly straightforward to compile.

    Not sure. Attempted to setup MagiTerm in Haiku last night...but unable to do so. Missing some libraries. Since this past evening was my Friday...will be able to spend more time to see what I can do.

    Did attempt to set it up on Mint...but they seem to not have the most modern versions of the libraries available. When I get more time...will also look at this as well.

    Sorry if you already were asked this but the wife has had honey do lists and

    No reason to apologize at all. During my work week...get most of the work I do from 11:30 PM-5:30 AM because of working the swing shift.
