Updated the package to fix some build issues, plus include a thread patch similar to how upstream fixed for SBBS.

ncurses is required by the base group, so that's the only hard requirement. Everything else is now optional (X11/SDL/the "icon" support).

Let me know if you have any issues with the new package.

I finally changed the license line.

When I try to install I get this message. :: Checking syncterm integrity... ==> ERROR: license should be an array :: failed to verify syncterm integrity

@asterisc Thanks, updated.

Version 1.0 released as of August 5, 2015 -- the sources at http://syncterm.bbsdev.net are out of date, and the current sources are posted to SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm/.

If someone have a better idea, let me know!

hehe, I guess now I have a good reason to not use http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/syncterm-src.tgz . Whenever they update the source code, they create a new syncterm-src.tgz file, and replace the old one. So, if I use that file, whenever they update the code, the old md5sum will, of course, not be valid anymore, and the package will break. Therefore, the choice is: should I use a really old version from sourceforge? Or should the package break every 3 days or something? (the previous was from day 19 and today, day 22 they released a new version) Maybe I should upload the tgz to a server of mine, and every 2 weeks or something, update to the current version. Or maybe I should just orphan this, so someone willing to be checking every 2 days if a new version and updating the package can take over it. In the meantime, I have updated the package... but for how long I wonder? ;)

md5sums error.

Oh I wasn't aware of that. Updated.

Why are you using the source from sourceforge, instead of from http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/syncterm-src.tgz ? The one in sourceforge is so old and outdated, and the one from the above provided link includes support for SSH as part of the distribution. Also, keep in mind, using this, you would need to set MANPREFIX=/usr/share, otherwise for some reason it defaults to /usr/man/man1/*
