Hello everybody!

I have read the echos from Tommi Koivula and Joacim Melin regarding Compiling Nodelist.
First I compiled binkd with perl support and then added nodelist to perl-vars and so as Tommi wrote in his messages.

When I start binkd I get a message "No nodelist found"

Maybe you should have these lines in this order:

1. perl-hooks /bbs/nodelist.pl
2. perl-var nodelist fidonet:/bbs/nodelist.ndl
3. perl-var magichost !

I don't know if it helps...

Why the nodelist has ndl extension?

I don't know if it helps...

Hello Tommi!

Why not?

Is a regular version of the nodelist with just that extension? Or is preprocesed?
