It just extracts all the files and doesn't even make the folders. I have tried to convert the format to TAR, ZIP and such and tried to OPen/EXtract with Picozip, Winzip and winrar as well with still the same problems.. any ideas why or am I missing something simple again?

Use something that supports them. I use WinRAR, and it extracts fine.

I have done that already, and other than the limit problem I finally got the code up and running. However, I found that this was not the code I needed for what I had in mind building. Sorry if i dont explain more, but it's 100% origional and modern concept that's probably easy for advanced people like you guys to do. I want the joy of learning to code and bringing my vision to life ^.^

Anyways, I switched the codebase. I have looked at a few different codebases and found that I will be better off with a SWR codebase for what I have in mind, but, for some reason when I extract the TGZ file it doesn't put the files in their folders ...
It just extracts all the files and doesn't even make the folders. I have tried to convert the format to TAR, ZIP and such and tried to OPen/EXtract with Picozip, Winzip and winrar as well with still the same problems.. any ideas why or am I missing something simple again? I find that I often get excited or my mind set so hard on something I miss the simple things.. My apologies for taking up your time and thank you all for the help.

Probably just go ahead and comment the limit command out in the startup file. It's meant for coredumps which you won't get much use out of on Cygwin anyway.

I also noticed you didn't edit the Makefile and uncomment the Cygwin line in any of this unless I missed something ?

I think the limit was a package you had to install. You may have missed it. You could just try commenting out the lines in the startup script that use limit.

Awsome! It works ! now.. how do I fix the problem with cygwin ? or see whay it has no limit?

Zeno I have played your mud for a while.. I was known as Brahmus on there.. Awseome mud and you rock. Next time I hit the bar , my first shot goes in your good favor! and the next 3 are for Nick, Samson and Whiteknight.. after that .. they are just for getting blasted and having fun..in a safe manner of course.

You can't run the exec from the src directory, the area files aren't located there. It seems like you missed something when installing Cygwin, because it's missing limit.

In the area dir type:
../src/swreality

You made sure it's running? Type ps ux and look for the process there.

What port is it running on?

Why doesn't ./startup & work? What errors are there?

Make sure you're connecting to the right port. If it's up, you should be able to connect.

Ok so.. Here's the status:

I deleted everything once again, deleted all my codebases and such that I had tried to get going and deleted all known cywin files.
I reinstalled cygwin once more and downloaded the codebase swrfote1.1 fuss..
unzipped it into the cywgwin/home/user directory and then started up cygwin..

cd dir
cd swrfuss
cd src
make

..everything compiled perfectly... finally.. but..
I tried to startup the mud and followed the direction from the smaug website ..

./startup & doesnt work
../src/startup doenst work

If I havnt stated already Im pretty new to this, And am in dire attempt to learn/play with coding...

So.. I used my noggin, it said earlier in the line the compile file -swrreality was what was compiled.. so I tried it..

./swreality alas! woohooo!

it booted up and loaded

....Booting Database....
...loading commands .. etc etc etc.. time etc date etc..
no errors or anything out of the ordinary.

I try to join it with mushclient on
localhost
port 4000
..nothing..
for some reason I cannot join it.
the very las thing it says during the bootin database is..

Reading in area files...
Is this what you guys are getting ? or is it just not finishing it's routine.?

other questions.. I managed to get it to connect 1 time.. then my laptop died and I immediately began to swear like a sailor while plugging in my powercord.. I opened cygwin
and ran the same proccess as before.. now I cannot connect ... Am I doing something wrong ? I have come so far with so much trouble and know I'm really close thanks to your help, Nick, Zeno , samson , Whiteknight you guys rock , do you think you can help me just a tad more and steer me into the right dirction?

I am using that same gcc version with Cygwin, and the latest FUSS compiles fine for me.

You haven't said what the problem is with using a precompiled version. You only really need to compile if you are planning to change the C code.
