On Raspbian Wheezy and most other distros I’ve done this on, Syncterm will just show up in your menu system automatically, usually under “internet”. If you don’t get a path back for that command, something has gone wrong. If that came back with “/usr/local/bin/syncterm” or similar, syncterm is installed. You can confirm that it’s in the command path and where exactly it wound up by typing: it should wind up in “/usr/local/bin/syncterm", but it could be something else similar. You need to sudo for this step because it’s going to move the compiled executable into a system bin directory. Make SRC_ROOT=/home/pi/syncterm-20160120/src step above again.Īssuming that that finishes, the final step is to do:
#SYNCTERM DOWNLOAD PATH INSTALL#
Sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev Note: if the compile bombs out with an error containing, “fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory”, it means you need to install a couple of libraries. I think that that was just because of the weird chroot environment that the Chromebook runs Linux in though. On Ubuntu on my Chromebook I had to install gcc and a few other things first. If it bombs, there might be another step or two. You will get lots of scary looking warnings, but it should get through. If all goes well, it will chew on that for a while. In my case, my home directory was /home/pi, so the make command for my system was: You’re going to feed that resulting path with “/src” appended to the end as an argument to the make command.
#SYNCTERM DOWNLOAD PATH FULL#
Once you’re there type “ pwd” to get your current full path. It will probably be different if the build date has changed.make sure you use whatever the date part of your actual path is! That should create a directory called “syncterm-20160120”, or something similar. Once you have it you can do the following to unpack it: (if wget isn’t installed you should be able to do “sudo apt-get install wget” to install it, then try again.)Īssuming that that works, when it’s done you should have a file called “syncterm-src.tgz” in your home directory. Then, assuming you have wget installed, type: The easiest way to do that is to drop to a command prompt on the target system and get to your home directory if you’re not there already by just typing “cd”. The link at the bottom that says, “complete source”. Worst case is probably that you’d wind up with a non-functional Syncterm half installed or something like that.įirst, download the source from the very bottom of the Syncterm homepage. That said, I have no idea how you’d mess your system up doing this. Standard disclaimers apply.if you somehow roach your OS doing this, I’m not responsible. These are the steps that I took to install Syncterm on Raspbian Wheezy, though this should work pretty much the same way for any modern Debian-based Linux.
