| This seems to crop up from time-to-time. Try searching this forum for "character save" (or saving).
Probably the directory(ies) is/are not set up so it can't write the character file. |

| I suggest using Cygwin, which should compile the original source without many changes.
Failing that you could use the MS compiler, but they have made some minor, but irritating, changes to the way sockets (TCP/IP) work compared to Unix. For instance, "write" becomes "send", and "read" becomes "recv".
You could get the original SMAUG source, and the source from this site, and do a "diff" or WinDiff, especialy on the comms.c file, and see what changes I made. Then apply them to circlemud. |
