Just want to share my experience for anyone interested. Installing hercules via yay complains about dlpreopened files and compilation fails.

Using the very same hercules-3.13.tar.gz and the typical "configure, make, sudo make install" it works properly.

Also tried hyperion-hercules but it fails to use 3088 devices. This prevents to enable TCP/IP networking between Linux and Mainframe via tun/tap.

The symlink and rebuild worked, thanks! I will post this on the stable upstream too.

OK, Forced the re-build and all is good without the symlink.

ln -s /usr/lib/libnsl-2.33.so /usr/lib/libnsl.so.2

Fixed it on my installation. I need to force a rebuild to see if it will pickup that newer libnsl-2.33.so name.

@rachejazz

The stable upstream appears to be active here: https://github.com/rbowler/spinhawk

Looks like the old yahoo group is gone with no updates on the new location (assuming it's GH).

They'd need to get a fix into hyperion and backport into spinhawk, cut a new release. No problems packaging once it's there. Maybe add an issue on the stable upstream as well?

rachejazz commented on 2021-10-13 22:34 (UTC)

@pilotmattk I am attaching the issue I faced today with this version. Looks like hercules needs an update since it doesn't work with the latest libnsl https://github.com/hercules-390/hyperion/issues/289

Still confused though.

pilotmattk commented on 2021-10-13 22:16 (UTC)

Ideally this should be the source: https://github.com/hercules-390/hyperion/releases

An actual release in 2017 is newer/more stable than the RC0 in 2016 of hyperion: http://www.hercules-390.eu/hercnew.html

Also see hyperion comments on the main hercules site.

Suggest adding hyperion-hercules-git as another package if needed in the AUR.

Source says hercules is in v4 now. And that too in 2016. The pkg here says 3.13 in 2019. I am confused. Do you need help maintaining this one?
