  • Husky compile problems

    From Dumas Walker@21:1/175 to All on Wed Feb 25 13:14:09 2026
    I posted this to FIDOSOFT.HUSKY but figured there might be some people on FSX who don't read there that might know.

    build.sh keeps abending.

    make: *** No rule to make target 'huskylib//home/bbs/husky/gnmsgid.c'

    So I set GNMSGID=0 in huskymak.cfg & ran it again.

    make: *** No rule to make target 'fidoconf//home/bbs/Husky/obj/afixcmd.o'

    I am starting to wonder if maybe the makefiles I pulled from github are busted?

    I am following the instructions in the huskybse INSTALL.asciidoc on a debian linux stable system.

    Is there a trick to this?

    I just compiled Husky. I followed the INSTALLasciidoc instructions at https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/blob/master/INSTALL.asciidoc

    (Ubuntu 24.04 I think)

    1. Install pre-reqs:

    Package What requires the package -------------------------------------------------
    git getting the sources and updating them
    make, gcc, g++ build from sources
    libperl-dev hpt at PERL=1
    zlib1g, zlib1g-dev hpt, htick at USE_HPTZIP=1
    texinfo hpt, htick, msged at ((HTML=1 or TXT=1 or
    PDF=1 or DVI=1) and defined DOCDIR) or
    defined INFODIR
    ncurses-base, msged
    ncurses-bin
    libmodule-build-perl, util
    libtest-simple-perl

    2. Install

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huskyproject/huskybse/master/script/init_buil d
    chmod 0755 init_build
    ./init_build
    cd ~/husky
    ./build.sh
    sudo make -j install

    I did this on a fresh OS install. I also have pre-compiled binaries if you need them? I actually setup a Docker script so I can build reguarly.

    Did you make any changes to huskymak.cfg besides GNMSGID=0 ?

    I've just compiled Husky on a fresh debian-stable installation without any issues.

    sudo apt install git make gcc g++ libperl-dev libmodule-build-perl \
    libtest-simple-perl zlib1g-dev libncurses-dev texinfo

    Then:
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huskyproject/huskybse/master/script/init_build
    chmod 755 ./init_build
    ./init_build
    cd ~/husky
    ./build.sh

    And finally: sudo make install

    The errors make me think there's something wrong with your building environment, so you might also wanna try building on a clean one using:

    env -i HOME="$HOME" PATH="$PATH" TERM="$TERM" USER="$USER" \
    bash -c 'cd ~/husky && ./build.sh'

    Regards,
    Jegor
