  • Installing Golded on ubuntu/linux

    From Rickv@1:154/110 to All on Sat Jul 5 13:37:47 2025
    I have been unable to get Golded Linux installed on my ubuntu system. I keep getting error after error. I have also been getting help from ChatGPT. Can anyone recommand a version that will install into ubuntu? I've tried the latest git on github.

    Thanks,
    RickV

    This works for me on Ubuntu 22.04:

    git clone https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus.git

    cd golded-plus

    cp ./golded-plus/golded3/mygolded.__h ./golded-plus/golded3/mygolded.h
    nano ./golded-plus/golded3/mygolded.h
    make
    make strip
    cp ./bin/gedlnx /usr/local/bin/
    cp ./bin/gnlnx /usr/local/bin/

    mkdir ~/.golded

    cp ./golded-plus/cfgs/config/simple.cfg ~/.golded/golded.cfg

    Thanks,that worked. But I can read mail but can't reply, it exits out when I try. I also don't have a help screen. But I have it running.
