I built x3270 from source on my Raspbian system (so I could have a play with Hercules and an ancient (and therefore quirky) MVS). It so we can train people at work on the mainframe ( because thats what we do) ( im a windows power user so i have no problem using ulterior "methods" of accomplishing it ) Now - I know that Raspian has some limitations but x3270 was working 2 years ago - its strange that it would suddenly not work anymore. And i dont understand how to select the debian repository specifically through console. So far i have tried finding a source installer on the internet ( no luck just files from source forge i dont know how to use)Īdded repositories from other distros - Synaptic returns errors when i try to update it to use them. I am very committed to this and will go to great length to get it done. ( i installed c3270 onto lubuntu yesterday so i know that some of the distros emu works ! )Ĭurrently there is nothing in the repository except Hercules, Hercules Studio and curiously IBM fonts for 3270 terminals(weird right) And at the time x3270 was also available. Long story short I have been thrashing around for a few weeks trying to get Any 3270 Terminal emulator working on raspian.Ī quick google search turns up that since 2012 you have been able to emulate a mainframe on you Pi using Hercules.
