Hey Omni, I tried building last night and haven't done any troubleshooting yet but figured I'd let you know how it played out on a rather bog standard Arch install (which means probably a bit bleeding edge): https://pastebin.com/1cPEbdms

On Saturday, December 10th boraxman was heard saying...

Is there a Linux binary? I've downloaded the source code, but not su how to compile. There is a script to build a flatpak, but I don't ha flatpak installed. ___ MultiMail/Linux v0.52

I added some build instructions here:
https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_term

I've published a .deb: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_term/releases/tag/0.3.2

Some feedback if it works would be nice. One user said in an older
version that it doesn't work for some reason. I suspected a different glibc version but didn't hear back.

Thank you. I got it compiled and it worked. I like the CRT emulation, I think
this is perhaps the biggest feature for me.

I'll keep trying it out. I did get a little confused with the icons at the top
when connected. There were no tooltips or text to say what they were. Personally, I prefer text menus over trying to figure out what the icon means.

Also, I'm having trouble connecting to minds eye, I'll troubleshoot further and
let you know. It's not Minds Eye BBS as I can connect with Syncterm.

The choice if rust was an interesting choice. The source tree after compilation was 1.6GB!!! That is not including files in the ~/.cargo directory that were also added (its 550MB). The binary itself after stripping was 29MB, which is OK.

Thanks!

"git pull" should fix that issue.
I recommend doing a "cargo update" as well but that bug should be fixed by updating the source.

... I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.

I can add tooltips. Icons have the benefit of beeing easier to recognize. Once I get a crate for i18n I'll may switch to text.

oops... I don't add :23 anymore - I suspect that's missing in your URL. Add that and it should work. I'll fix that.

Rust binaries are not well known for beeing small. But for beeing secure and fast. The release version on my system is ~11MB fyi.
