Actually, while that will more or less work, what you really want to be doing is running ./startup & from your src directory so that the mud will stay running when you exit your shell and so that things will log correctly and restart when they're supposed to and so on. You can also change the port from within the startup file in the src folder.
[EDIT]Oops, as Twisol correctly pointed out, my /b was missing a / *mutter* stupid keyboard */mutter* - fixed now.

Generating dependency file ...
Done compiling mud.
make -s dns
Done compiling DNS resolver.
So then I check both the src (according to the compiling page) and the area (because when you use the precompiled version thats where the executable goes) folders, and yet neither has smaug.exe.

The src folder now has an smaug that wasnt there before, but its not .exe. It could just be Im a newb when it comes to all this, but I was under the impression there was supposed to be an exe.
So I uploaded several different versions of the smaugfuss (1.9, 17) from this website and I follow the compiling page here as well. Everytime, I "make" and never get an smaug.exe.
