I have been unable to get Golded Linux installed on my ubuntu system. I keep getting error after error. I have also been getting help from ChatGPT. Can anyone recommand a version that will install into ubuntu? I've tried the latest git on github.

Thanks,

This works for me on Ubuntu 22.04:

git clone https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus.git

cd golded-plus

cp ./golded-plus/golded3/mygolded.__h ./golded-plus/golded3/mygolded.h
nano ./golded-plus/golded3/mygolded.h
make
make strip
cp ./bin/gedlnx /usr/local/bin/
cp ./bin/gnlnx /usr/local/bin/

mkdir ~/.golded

cp ./golded-plus/cfgs/config/simple.cfg ~/.golded/golded.cfg

Thanks,that worked. But I can read mail but can't reply, it exits out when I try. I also don't have a help screen. But I have it running.
