| | I'm attempting to compile firstmud 4.5.4, and I'm probably just doing something incredibly stupid/simple...I go into the main directory for firstmud and type 'setup.sh' and keep getting errors saying 'configure.in:12 required file './ltmain.sh' not found'. Am I in the wrong folder, or what's going on here? Thanks in advance. | | Top |

| Not completely sure what you're asking for here...I'm assuming you're asking for configure.in though
line 12 is :

| | Well what does the docs say to start the MUD up? I assume you have to run a configure script first, then compile, then run a startup script or the exec. |

| | That's just the problem...I can't find any real documentation here, and in addition to that - firstmud is now on sourceforge but appears to not have an actual site...I saw an earlier post that claimed 4.5.4 clean compiled for someone else, so I'm either missing a library or something, or am just doing this completely wrong. | | Top |

| | Why are you typing setup.sh? Shouldn't you just type make to compile? |

| | I can't...Something needs to be done before it will even make a makefile. I understand if you're too busy to take a closer look, but here's the link to what I'm trying to run if you want to take a closer look at anything. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/firstmud/firstmud-4.5.4.tar.gz?download | | Top |

| Just tried again on a fresh copy. Same error, but realized I should try to supply a little more information
user@slackware:~/firstmud-4.5.4$ setup.sh
Creating configure script.
configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
configure.in:12: installing `./config.guess'
configure.in:12: installing `./config.sub'
configure.in:12: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found
make: *** [configure] Error 1
Done. Run ./configure to create a Makefile.

| | The configure script is nonexistant because setup.sh is erroring out. It saying to run configure is just a default message that seems to show up no matter what. Before this happens, I also get a lot of warnings saying there are underquoted definitions for AM_PATH_LIBIDL, AM_PATH_ILIB, AM_PATH_GLIB, and 15 others. Any ideas? | | Top |

| | I downloaded the file and after looking at it for a few minutes am not immediately sure how it's supposed to work either. Can you get in touch with the author by any means? |

| | Oh... maybe 4.5.4 requires that you download 4.5.3, unzip that, and then unzip 4.5.4 on top of it? Either that or the author made an error in the packaging somewhere. :) |

| | I was able to get 4.5.3 to work as well, however when I try to run the startup script I get an 'Ambiguous output redirect' error. I've seen a post on sourceforge with someone else who also has this problem (same OS too - slackware), but the author's have not responded to anything on that site, and their supposed real site is firstmud.com ...a site taht i've never seen up and running. I'm able to get 4.5.3 to run by typing 1stMud <port #>, but it would be nice if the startup script would work. I haven't tried patching to the newest version yet though...I'll go ahead and try that now. | | Top |
