gopherd

This is a Gopher server, run under inetd.

The server is intended to be run as an inetd(8) service. It will serve one request and then exit. A suitable inetd.conf(5) configuration line looks like so:

gopher stream tcp nowait nobody /path/to/gopherd gopherd [-options]

Installing

Clone with submodules (contains required .mk files):

; git clone --recursive https://github.com/katef/gopherd.git

To build and install:

; pmake -r install

You can override a few things:

; CC=clang PREFIX=$HOME pmake -r install

Building depends on:

• libmagic. This is packaged for Debian as libmagic-dev.

• Any BSD make. This includes OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD make(1) and sjg's portable bmake (also packaged as pmake).

• A C compiler. Any should do, but GCC and clang are best supported.

• ar, ld, and a bunch of other stuff you probably already have.

To build the manpage, the following dependencies are required:

• xsltproc from libxslt

• docbook XSL
