I finally took some time to install Freenet and FMS on a pi today, which took some time, but it seems to be working ok.

First I found that 'wrapper' didn't work. Freenet kept dying and not coming back. I downloaded a proper set of files here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wrapper/files/wrapper/Wrapper_3.5.49_20220209/

I used wrapper-linux-arm-64-3.5.49.tar.gz as my pi is 64bit. I tried to compile myself, but finally gave up and just downloaded the pre-compiled version. If you're more paranoid, you'll probably want to get it to compile yourself.

Once you extract it, move bin/wrapper to {Freenet.dir}/bin and lib/libwrapper.so to {Freenet.dir}/lib. It seems to be working ok.

Then on to FMS. I downloaded the latest source fms-src-0.3.83.zip and tried to compile. It requires cmake and poco, which are available in the repositories.

My first error was a multitude of "narrowing conversion" errors in src/stringfunctions.cpp. This used to apparently be a warning, but newer compilers throw an error.

This works now by going to 'static const char HEX2DEC[256] =' at line 359, and changing every instance of '-1' in the assigning value to '(char) (-1)'.

Then in nntp/mime/Mime.cpp it throws a fatal error sys/io.h: No such file or directory. At line 537 I replaced #include sys/io.h with #include <stdio.h>

As of right now, both Freenet and FMS seem to be working properly. I will probably still try to compile wrapper myself, but probably not until next week or so.
