The config.h File

How to set it up...

The config.h file, aside from the autoexec.nos and the Makefile, is probably the most important file for the JNOS/Linux system. As the UNIX group knows, when you run "make," it is this file that drives the make program via the Makefile. So, what you have defined in the config.h file is what gets built into the binary objects, or final executable JNOS program.

To include a service or function, you must begin each sentence with the key word "#define" and to exclude or ignore the same, you must begin the sentence with "#undef" and it won't be "seen" by make. In the C programming style, comment lines begin with "/*" and end with "*\". Here is a rare case where hash marks are not used as comments!

Just a note of caution. Be very careful with this file. Edit only what you think you need to edit. It might be a good idea to copy config.unix, the original, into a file named myconfigs and work on myconfigs until you get it set. Then at the end, copy myconfigs into the actual driving file, config.h. Remember, it is the config.h file that is eventually read and interpreted by make.

My config.h File 


#ifndef	_CONFIG_H
#define	_CONFIG_H
/* This is a configuration for a full Linux version of Jnos */
#define WHOFOR "ka1fsb"

/* NOTE: only the below listed config files have been tested.
 * Due to the virtually unlimited number of combinations of options
 * in config.h, it is impossible to test each possible variation!
 * Others may or may not compile and link without errors !
 * Effort has been made to provide a clean set of #defines throughout
 * the source to produce a good compile, but no guarantees are made.
 * Your mileage may vary!!!
 * tested are: distconf.h, gwconfig.h, bbsconf.h, users.h homeslip.h

      Mail Document Request for:   config.txt
  A Few Caveats:

  • Be sure your local mailer is properly "hooked" into your browser.
  • Allow up to 24 hours for delivery, although 3-6 is typical...
  • Mailed copy, being the latest "on-line" version, may differ slightly from above.
  • Click on "Mail it to me" below to activate your mailer, then send from there.
  • Please don't change the subject field. (Additional text body comments OK.)
  • Sometimes server is down for extended periods of time... (1-10+ days)
  • (You obtain, modify and run all data/code at your own risk.)


Enough "excuses," just Mail it to me!

  What if ...

  • If your browser-linked mailer doesn't seem to respond, you may send a null-bodied email to ka1fsb@att.net with a subject of "Code Request - config.txt" not including the quotes... (Some browsers and their mail agents do not like excessive string data in the mailto format.)
