 Av> What of huskybse - when to compile that? Assume I need it to?

No, you just need to grab the huskymac.cfg from there and put in the root directory along with all the hpt, htick etc. directories.

 Av> By in place you mean copy it from huskybse to the root dir huskyproject?

Yes.

 Av> Do I need to do the same for each other program as well before compiling?

No, you just need to switch to each directory and run make in them, then sudo make install.

 Av> Deon seems to have set PERL=1 so perl support enabled?
 Av> I also see USE_HPTZIP=1 in Deon's script, what's the merits of that one
 Av> guys? 

Yes, I have both of those options enabled although I don't use them. If I use hptzip then htick can't get file descriptions from the file_id.diz when tossing files, so I just use zip and unzip.

 Av> Can someone comment on the CFGDIR=$(PREFIX)/etc/fido option in
 Av> huskymak.cfg do I need to alter that or be locked into using that? Or best
 Av> to go with this default?

You can go with the default. If you leave it alone the husky stuff will look for a file called /usr/local/etc/fido/config for it's config file.

I use /usr/local/etc/config but that is a choice you make. You can also call the file something other than config if you like, but it'll work as it is.

 Av> huskybse - when to do that one?

Yes, you just need the huskymak.cfg from there, copy it down a directory to your husky root, edit it to your needs and go.
