Did you actually edit the Golded config file? Just copying the default
and using it probably won't work. There are probably paths in there that need to be changed, as well as your name, node number, etc.
Also, you have to edit mygolded.__h with your information, and rename it to mygolded.h to personalize your copy.
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Nick

Do I just need the file in the same directory as golded? Does it need to be named anything specifically?

First off, let me correct myself here: If you downloaded the sources and compiled it yourself, you should have already edited mygolded.__h and renamed it, because otherwise it won't compile. Correct?
Hi,
I downloaded golded and compiled on Slackware 15. I built it with no
errors and copied the libs to /usr/bin/local. I copied the sample
config to golded.cfg and moved the cfg and golded binary to my home
dir.
I can run it but it just returns to command prompt with no output, I
know I am probably missing a step, but reading the docs have proven to
be difficult. Can anyone give me some direction? Thanks

I do have golded, gedlnx, gnlnx and rddtlnx in my PATH.
These are found after compiling in folder bin.
The golded config files such as golded.cfg, .exc, .inc are in my etc folder but
can be in the folder you run from.
There are NO libs created under Linux at least in my system.
Make sure before compiling that you locate file mygolded.__h and copy to mygolded.h then change the first six lines with your name fido address
and email address.
Then compile golded via the make file or whatever you use.
That all said I do get a lot of warning messages (I use gcc 12.3.0).

Thats right. I renamed that file and succesfully compiled it. I took that file and have looked at it but, I am not sure its reading the file. I will try it some more later on.
I have that directory structure. My issue is everytime I run it says a required file is not found, but I have no idea what file it is talking about. Some files referenced in golded.conf are not there, because they werent included in the package.
I will admit, having some kind of warning/error message in the Linux console letting you know that your golded.cfg has errors in it would
be extremely beneficial, compared to a blank screen and going back to the command prompt without any information.
Using 'tee' can help a lot.
'gedlnx | tee output.txt' works but ANSI color codes are captured so you'd need to look at the output in an ANSI-capable viewer.
I'm using GoldEd+ under Slackware 15 without issues.

Sure. RTFM. Nobody said it have to be easy. ;-)
Create an empty directory. If gedlnx is not in your path just copy
gedlnx into it. You can create a minimal config with ./gedlnx -INSTALL
There is a no show bug in case of config errors that can be worked
around with "gedlnx > /dev/null". (keep the output into file "gedlnx > output.txt")
Golded can have an advanced config. The group system, the charset
system, the template system, the random system. You should start with a minimum and configure the features you need one after another.

Here's a little gem I found a long time ago (if you haven't seen it already), maybe this simple script would work instead of a full fledged ansi-capable viewer?
Latest golded installed (but not being used at this very second) here under Archlinux v.today, also without issues except that I would love
to see ditching the cp437 stuff, getting rid of translation tables, and bringing in the iconv support. Unfortunately, I'm not a good programmer
so all of that goes right in the suggestion box aka trash bin.
Did you switch back to Linux recently? I could have sworn I saw your
old BBS software on OS/2 or DOS not too long ago. Or do you run
multiple instances these days and switch them up on occasion just to confuse me?

Mind sharing your config file?

Well awesome. Got somewhere with the instructions!
So, I have a basic install and the program started. I have the AREADEF
file of my Mystic file areas. How do I include that so I my message
areas show.
The sample config will not work without adjustments.
And that applies to all other shared configs too.

But helping others is what makes us humans, making other suffer as you did, is a show of envy and poor judgement.
I really *hate it* when rtfm s**t shows up, yoy may know what OP is asking, I may not, but was it very difficult to reply with help?.
Sorry it had to be said and it neither requires, nor expect an
answer.
This is about *hrlping others* not feeling betters undermining others.
