I was looking at anyterm today for an unrelated reason... and I realized that you could probably (ab)use this to run DF remotely!

Anyone gone down this road before?

Everybody uses webfort instead.

PRINT_MODE:TEXT only works with the Linux version, but it's certainly possible to use it to play on other machines through an SSH client.

Well I couldn't get this to work. To even get it to build with a modern gcc required a bunch of include changes and a tweak to an apr function call - and after all thay it just fails to work - probably because i didn't really know what I was doing.

I can't find webfort's page/post, just the github repo and people using it. Linky? I have no interest in using a third-party service/server, I want to host it myself.

Building webfort is tricky because it requires 32 bit libboost librairies that for some reason conflict with their 64 bit equivalent on Debian-based systems. You'll have to use a container of some sort.

Theres several of these webfort/DFAnywhere/dfterm3 things, and mifki isd working on an abstract server/ios client thingy.

I'm aware of mifki's work (and that it's far from complete). Can you point out these others that you must be aware of for you to mention them? I'm not looking for a solution that's half-completed

That wouldn't be an issue, I'm quite handy with both deb (and rpm) formats, and LD_PRELOAD and ld.so.conf trickery... or I could just build my own libboost in a private directory. That said it also wouldn't be an issue as I'm more of a CentOS/RHEL guy - I use it at work, might as well use it at home.

Is that github repo the only official site for it? No documentation, wiki etc?

Are you looking at the right repo? Development now is in https://github.com/Ankoku/df-webfort (and it seems in https://github.com/Alloyed/df-webfort/tree/dev), there are even some compilation instructions.

If you have trouble with webfort you can still use dfterm2 (which although abandoned should still work), dfterm3 (the plugin still compiles for .40.19) or dfeverywhere as far as I know.
