This is going to sound crazily n00b coz well, it is. However, I'm out of ideas.

I have been trying to track down the OSX version of PennMUSH. Unfortunately, every link to a download I have found points to the same, deceased, webpage. I thought there would be an alternative download site somewhere, but there doesn't appear to be.

I under that the Unix version is meant to work on OSX anyway but I'm too dim to know how I'd go about setting it up.

Does anyone, anywhere, anytime have a copy of the latest OSX PennMUSH, or know where it can be begged borrowed or otherwise procured? Or alternatively, is someone able to tell me that falling from a log is an operation requiring more intellectual prowess and manual dexterity than getting *nix PennMUSH up and running on OSX?

Thanks.

If you have installed the developer tools under OS/X it should be compileable using the normal method documented in the PennMUSH download.

Here, I'll try it .... (time passes) ...

It compiled OK, excepting that it gave an error on the word "panic" because that is defined in one of the operating system include files. I fixed that by:

perl -pi -e 's/panic/Panic/g' *.c

in the src directory, and:

perl -pi -e 's/panic/Panic/g' *.h

in the hdrs directory.

Then it compiled OK.
