    From sardaukar@21:2/114 to All on Saturday, March 18, 2017 19:43:00
    Hello all!

    I'm starting my wiki articles (keep an eye on http://wiki.bbs.geek.nz/tutorials:crystal_bbs:start) and would appreciate feedback. I'll post again when I'm done with the intro, but for now I need someone to try out my BBS prototype's binaries so I can be sure Crystal binaries work on mac/Linux without extra libraries. Please download it here:

    https://www.NoFile.io/f/m4vLVGB0U79 (password is "zoinks")

    And let me know if it runs on your system or not. Only 64bit mac/Linux is supported. I know running binaries is scary, so you can try running this on a VM if you don't trust me :D If you manage to run it, login to the default localhost port 2023 with a telnet client and login as "user"/"pass" and you should see some scrolling ANSI art.

    Knowing if Crystal binaries run on other systems without modifications is helpful for the rest of the tutorial.

    Cheers,

    On macOS I got:

    dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libyaml/lib/libyaml-0.2.dylib
    Referenced from: /Users/andrew/Downloads/bbs_rel001/./bbs_macos_x64
    Reason: image not found
    Abort trap: 6

    I tried installing libyaml from macports but it had 0.1.7

    Oh, didn't know mac ports were still being updated!

    I use Homebrew(https://brew.sh) and having a look at the Crystal package, it seems to depend on libyaml 0.1.7 too, but maybe at a different location :|

    The package is here: http://braumeister.org/formula/crystal-lang

    I'll check if I can fix this, but Crystal being still in alpha will probably not help :( Kind of a shame, I would assume the binaries would stand on their own anywhere...

    Thanks for testing!

    Well, I'll only be able to check this at work, I use Linux at home. I might have installed a newer version of libyaml for Ruby compilation or something.

    I'll keep you posted!
