   Hello Bill!

I didn't use CVS to get the source... and I don't have access to the machine 
that I pulled it down to review where I got the source..
I am going to FA it over to you so you have it....I'll find where I got it from 
and advise for future...

first:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

NOTE: Some options of binkd require additiinal libs!!! Which are NOT noted in 
the instructions!

The --with-zlib and --with-bzip2 need these:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev


Now with a build environment setup

With the source at hand...

tar xvf binkd-1.1.tar.gz

cd binkd-1.1

cp mkfls/unix/* .

../configure --with-zlib --with-bzip2 --with-https --with-bwlim --with-ntlm 
--with-perl

NOTE: Do NOT attempt to use --with-pthreads ! ! !

It does NOT WORK! I've tried installing all the libs that various google 
results list on pthreads... it still fails with this option. There is some lib 
that this thing needs/wants that I can't find.

then

sudo make

That should result in a binkd binary in the directory.

If you run into issues post, and I try to resolve them..

I am working on compiling up a some things for various setups for Fido... ie: 
PI's ARMHF, and *bunuts AMD64, and possibly 32b if I can find time.
