Binkd is a Fidonet mailer designed to operate via TCP/IP networks.

As a FTN-compatible internet daemon, it makes possible efficient utilization of TCP/IP protocol suite as a transport layer in FTN-based (Fido Technology Network) networks.

Compiling

non-UNIX:

  1. Find in mkfls/ a subdirectory for your system/compiler, copy all files to the root of the sources.
  2. Run make (nmake, wmake or gmake, name of make's binary is rely with C compiler).

UNIXes:

1.) Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/pgul/binkd

2.) Change into the new binkd source directory:

$ cd binkd

3.) Copy all files from mkfls/unix/ to the root of binkd sources:

cp mkfls/unix/* .

2.) Run configure and make:

$ ./configure $ make

3.) When finished, the following instructions will be displayed offering various options for you:

 Binkd is successfully compiled.

 If you want to install Binkd files into /usr/local
     1. Run `make -n install' to be sure this makefile will
        do not something criminal during the installation;
     2. `su' to root;
     3. Run `make install' to install Binkd.
     4. Edit /usr/local/etc/binkd.conf-dist and RENAME it or
        MOVE it somewhere (so another `make install' will
        not overwrite it during your next Binkd upgrade)

 If you want to put the files into some other directory just
 run `configure --prefix=/another/path' and go to step 1.

Installation

  1. Edit sample binkd.cfg.
