Hey there. Sorry if this is the wrong area for discussion on this but it seemed relevant at the time. :)
I'm trying to compile SyncTerm on OpenBSD 6.4. Unfortunately, when the compilation process gets to:

clang -c -D__UNIX__ -DNDEBUG -I. -DDATA_LITTLEENDIAN -DFIXED_SEED=0x17d4b316 -Wn
o-pointer-sign -Wno-switch -fPIC -DHAS_RECURSIVE_MUTEX -DOSVERSION=6 -fomit-fram
e-pointer -o ./static-obj/unix.o random/unix.c
random/unix.c:404:11: fatal error: 'vm/vm_param.h' file not found
#include <vm/vm_param.h> /* For CTL_VM identifiers */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
*** Error 1 in . (makefile:1302 './static-obj/unix.o')
*** Error 1 in . (makefile:1780 'OpenBSD')
*** Error 1 in /home/sprite/src/sbbs_src/3rdp/src/cl (makefile:371 'default') gmake[1]: *** [GNUmakefile:100: ../build/../../src/../3rdp/clang.openbsd.debug/c
l/libcl.a] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/home/sprite/src/sbbs_src/3rdp/build'
gmake: *** [../build/Common.gmake:521: cl] Error 2

Well, as you can see, vm/vm_param.h is not found. I did locate /usr/include/uvm/uvm_param.h; is it possible that the header that you wanted to include had been renamed? If this isn't the solution I guess I'll have to dig for what package that might be in, I just thought I'd ask in case it's a simple makefile change that'll get things working here.
Thank you!

That's a cryptlib build error. Maybe try building without cryptlib/SSH support to get around that issue.

Say there's not really anything for documentation in that GNUMakefile for syncterm. Can you help me determine how to do that? I'm guessing that some modification will be in order in the CFLAGS = line of the makefile, but I'm not sure if it's that simple or if other work will be involved.
Thank you!

Doh. Of course it'd be something easy like that...

I'm a little befuddled at what I've gotten as a result, though:

Looks like your source files are old/out-of-date. telnet_io.c was last updated on August-24-2019.

I snagged it from syncterm.bbsdev.net's sourceforge link. It was syncterm-1.0.tgz. Is there another source I should be using?

Look again at the page.

There's a link to the daily CVS version, and another link to the
complete (daily) source code in ZIP format.

Your build error is from a mix of old (syncterm 1.0) source files and newer (sbbs) source files. If you want to build SyncTERM 1.0, you should be able to just fine. Just don't mix the old and new source files together in the same directory tree.

That said, I would recommend getting the lateset SyncTERM source tarball (1.1b) and use that instead of the old 1.0:
http://syncterm.net/syncterm-src.tgz
