The G-Kermit package provides a Unix program for transferring files with the Kermit protocol. It is provided here for transferring files over the Kermit protocol to UNIX 3.51 running on FreeBee-b72776.
Download (HTTP): https://www.kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/archives/gku201.tar.gz
The source distribution unpacks to the current directory. In order to avoid cluttering up the folder where the tarball was originally downloaded to, unpack it in the following way:
mkdir -v gkermit && cd gkermit && tar -xvf ../gku201.tar.gz
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
All the proceeding instructions on this page should be followed
in this gkermit/ directory. Once
you are done installing this package, you may navigate out of
this directory.
Next, apply a patch to fix some implicit declarations leading to a build failure:
patch -Np1 -i ../gkermit-2.01-fix-implicit-declaration.patch
Install gkermit by executing the following commands:
rm -vf gproto.c && make -j1
Now as the root user:
make BINDIR=/usr/bin MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man1 \
TEXTDIR=/usr/share/doc/gkermit-2.01 install &&
mv -v /usr/share/man/man1/gkermit.l /usr/share/man/man1/gkermit.1
rm -vf gproto.c: This command deletes a stray autogenerated file to ensure a working build.
make -j1: This command builds the package using only one thread to ensure there is no race condition.
