I need some help with a broken installer script.
This is an installer script for an Amiga BBS program, DLG BB/OS. I was finally able to track down the last known owner of this package, and was very pleased to find that he not only released the program as free to the public, but the sourcecode is also available. Many thanks to Jeff Grimmett for the assistance with getting me this SW.
However, I am unable to install it fully, and manually installing it sans Installer script is a bit beyond my scope after 10 years out of the scene - my Amiga-ese is terribly rusty. I get about 75% thru the install and when the script checks for what CPU is running, it just locks up/aborts and will not go any further. It does this on a SAM, stock and PPC A1200, and a UAE dedicated box. It checks for the presence of either a 68000, or 68020 or better to install specific CPU libs, then just locks up and aborts install. I just can't get the darned thing to go any further regardless of what I try and install it on. It dies at the exact same line in the installer script regardless of what machine I try, real Amiga, a UAE emu box or the SAM.
My plea is if anyone knows more than I do about installer scripts and wants to help a brother out, I can put a link up for the sw if anyone would be willing to take a look at it and try a dummy or real install of said software, it would be appreciated beyond words. It's a rather small bunch of files by modern stardards, 5 LHA disks worth of software. I used this BBS package many years ago on a wide variety of "real" Amigas with super luck and suspect it'll run on my SAM just fine if I can just figure out a way to get the bugger installed. If anyone is willing to take a look at the issue, drop me a PM, would be super appreciated.
Thanks much,
