Hello all,
I had a few problems getting the VN NNTP comversion to compile properly,
because it kept complaining about not finding several "server" procedures.
It turned out that the makefile expected NNTP version 1.4 to be installed,
and the filenames for NNTP 1.5 were not the same.
The upshot is that you need to change a few filenames.
In std.c, line 6,
#include <response_codes.h>
Should be changed to
#include <nntp.h> or "nntp.h"
Also, clientlib.c from the NNTP distribution should be compiled, and
it's location needs to be put in the makefile under SERVERLIBS.
That was, I believe, enough to get me up and running, although I've
not been actually able to read news as our system doesn't have NNTP installed
quite yet.
By the way, does anyone know of machines that run NNTP that allow
public access, ie anyone could use vn to read news with their machine?
Please mail to me if so....
