I've been playing around with trying to get HPT compiled under Ubuntu
18.04
here, and I keep getting errors. Just about everything else will compile with no problems, but not HPT.
because of your message, i just tried this on my ubuntu server 18.04 LTS...
When I try 'make all install' in /hpt, I get a bunch of warnings that
look like:
what method in the huskybse/INSTALL file did you choose to go with?
i've used the II.1.* format where you copy huskybse/huskymak.cfg to your husky-dev root and edit it if needed... i do all of my stuff as individual account installations and not system-wide installations... the only gotcha that
i cannot remember how i fixed was creating a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d for my user... i'll explain how to do this below after we get the husky stuff built...
cd ~
mkdir -p fido-dev/husky
cd ~/fido-dev/husky
#
# here i get the husky modules i need either by pulling them
# from CVS or by tarball. i did it with CVS but don't recall
# exactly how... either way, i end up with a tree like this
#
# /home/myuser/fido-dev
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/areafix
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/fidoconf
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/hpt
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/htick
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/huskybse
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/huskylib
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/smapi
# /home/myuser/fido-dev/husky/sqpack
#
# at this point, we find and start following the huskybse/INSTALL file
# and we chose to follow section II.1 for building and installing...
#
# so after we read a little but, we start with II.1.2 Configuring
#
# we copy the huskymak.cfg file to our ~/fido-dev directory
#
cp huskybse/huskymak.cfg .
#
# and edit huskymak.cfg
# the only thing i do is set the PREFIX to home/myuser/fido
# everything else i leave alone
#
gedit huskymak.cfg
#
# now we move to II.1.3 Compiling and Installing...
#
# there's a missed step in the INSTALL FILE, huskybse/README.Makefiles
# says
#
# "Please first do "make install" in huskylib before you try to
# compile smapi or fidoconfig, and do "make install" in fidoconfig
# and/or smapi before you try to compile any of the other programs."
#
# so here we go with the tasks...
#
# do huskylib 1st
#
cd ~/fido-dev/huskylib
make clean
sudo make install
#
# now we can go back to the huskybse/INSTALL file and pick up II.1.3
# where we left off...
#
# do smapi 2nd
#
cd ~/fido-dev/smapi
make clean
make all
sudo make install
#
# do fidoconf 3rd
#
cd ~/fido-dev/fidoconf
make clean
make all
sudo make install
#
# the rest can probably be done in any order but check the docs
# i did them in this order...
#
# areafix 4th because others need its lib file
#
cd ~/fido-dev/areafix
make clean
make all
sudo make install
#
cd ~/fido-dev/sqpack
make clean
make all
sudo make install
#
cd ~/fido-dev/htick
make clean
make all
sudo make install
#
cd ~/fido-dev/hpt
make clean
make all
sudo make install
i split the "make all install" commands because i didn't want the binaries to be root:root... but the install part complains about
Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
so i "sudo make install" to handle that problem as we carry on with each step until we reach the end ;)
now about that file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d that i mentioned before we started the
above process... i do not recall how or when i created it but it does exist and
it points to my ~/fido/lib directory so the husky stuff, at least, can find the
lib files we compiled above... the file is named
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/myuser.conf
and contains the following
----- snip -----
# libc configuration for myuser
/home/myuser/fido/lib
----- snip -----
on my system, the above file is chmod 644 and chown root:root
after you create the file and place it in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, run
sudo ldconfig
to get it registered... after that you can test by running one of the small tools that was built...
~/fido/bin/pktinfo --version
and it should run... you could also
ldd ~/fido/bin/pktinfo
if you wanted to make sure none of the libs are "=> not found"... if they are, then the we missed something above... see below for example ldd output showing that the husky libs are now find in our ~/fido/lib directory...
so if you've made it this far, you can now jump to section III in the INSTALL file and figure out how to configure the thing... i found a tool called "fidoinst for bash" which set up my initial configuration which i then went digging through and adjusting... i don't remember where i found "fidoinst" or how i ran it... i just know that i came up with a working setup that the tparser liked and passed...
src/perl.c: In function 'perl_robotmsg': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26/CORE/perl.h:529:29: warning: ISO C forbids braced-groups within expressions [-Wpedantic] # define
STMT_START
(void)( /* gcc supports "({ STATEMENTS; })" */
yeah, even with my method there are a lot of warnings and even a bunch of errors but they're ignored... mostly the errors seem to be for installing man pages but they're not where man can find them anyway...
Then it will exit with error 1:
makefile.inc:28: recipe for target 'perl.o' failed
make: *** [perl.o] Error 1
the method i describe above doesn't add perl into hpt... in fact, the huskymak.cfg file specifically has
PERL=0
in it and perl is not included in the build AFAICT...

I know I have perl installed on that computer. When I run perl
--version I get:
that's the manually run stuff... not the -dev stuff for embedded...
I'm not sure what I'm missing. Is there another dependency for perl
that I've missed?
perl-dev maybe? but you don't need really need perl embedded in hpt, do you? i've never found a use for it, TBH...
