Ok so here my third attempt at getting this right.
So i've tried various SWR codes,yet i keep running into the same problem most people have and posted here,but i haven't and won't give up.
I'm using Cygwin,finally figured out how to use it,after forgetting 2 files<G>,got that sorted out.so now i try to compile this file from here swl http://pballgi.com/swl.rar
All goes well until i Make,and i end up getting this error message

$ make
make swreality
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kristy/swl/swr/dist/src'
rm -f swreality
gcc -o swreality act_comm.o act_info.o act_move.o act_obj.o act_wiz.o boards.o
build.o clans.o comm.o comments.o const.o db.o fight.o handler.o hashstr.o id.o
interp.o magic.o makeobjs.o misc.o mud_comm.o mud_prog.o player.o requests.o res
et.o save.o shops.o skills.o special.o tables.o track.o update.o space.o bounty.
o swskills.o -lm -lcrypt
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cann
ot find -lcrypt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [swreality] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kristy/swl/swr/dist/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

All i want is SWR to work,thats all,i like the whole idea of SMAUG,and the combination of SWR.
I'd be happy if i can get a working version of any SWR. I've been up the last oh 12 hours trying to get it to work,i got SWR1.0 to work then it crashed,afew times,i couldn't add areas,change skills,without it having a hissy fit.And i aint going to bed until i get it fixed and running and running.Any help would be greatful! And i'll be buying AreaEditor and Mushclient,both excellent.
Keep up the Good work! Long live the Aussies <G>

It's a rather big download, as he seems, bizarrely, to have left in all the .o files from his compilation. That just makes the download bigger for no real gain.

Anyway, do this ...


  1. Edit 'makefile' and change the NOCRYPT line to read:


    NOCRYPT = -DNOCRYPT


    Also change the line:


    chmod g+w swreality


    to


    chmod g+w swreality.exe


  2. Edit the file 'fight.c' and comment out the include for dir.h, like this:


    // #include <sys/dir.h>


  3. Edit the file 'save.c' and change the line:


    #include <sys/dir.h>


    to


    #include <dirent.h>


    Also change line 2143 from:


    struct direct *de;


    to


    struct dirent *de;


    (Change the "c" to a "n").

  4. Type "make clean" to get rid of the old .o files.

  5. Type "make".



It should then compile and link OK.

There seem to be a whole lot of warnings about SPELL_ACTION being redefined. Just as well, as the original definition in mud.h looks strangely incomplete ...


#define SPELL_ACTION(skill)   ( ((skill)->fla           \
{                       \
    if ( (ch)->substate == SUB_RESTRICTED )        \
    {                      \
   send_to_char( "You cannot use this command from within another command.\n\r",
 ch ); \
   return;                    \
    }                      \
} while(0)


You could probably delete those lines, they don't seem to achieve much, other than generate warnings.

In makefile, change the line:


rm -f swreality


to


rm -f swreality.exe


And (more importantly) change:


$(CC) $(L_FLAGS) -o swreality $(O_FILES) -lm -lcrypt


to


$(CC) $(L_FLAGS) -o swreality $(O_FILES) -lm


In other words, get rid of the reference to library "crypt", which you obviously don't have. :)

If you do that, it should link OK. ;)

You should have a file:


/usr/lib/libcrypt.a


If not, that is why you got the link errors. You might want to investigate that. Perhaps you didn't install the crypt component of Cygwin?

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp0': No such file or directory

Hang on Riley, you have now changed the ground here.

My earlier suggestion, for SWL, should have worked. You had a clean compile, and the only problem was linking against a library (crypt) that you didn't have.

By changing the makefile, you didn't need that library, so all you have to do is go back to SWL, change the makefile to remove the -lcrypt reference, and it should work OK.

Whatever you did recently, to give the cpp0 error, has now corrupted your Cygwin install.

If you can't get it to work any other way, I suggest ...

1. Remove Cygwin
2. Reinstall, including compilers etc.
3. Redo the steps for SWL as described below

Oh yes, and ...

0. Get some sleep first. :)

Ah yes, what next?

The first thing I would do is change to the area directory, and run it ...


cd ../area
../src/swreality.exe

OK, let's look at a bit of debugging technique ...

The error message suggests that there is problem initialising the socket (ie. TCP/IP) with the error "address not available" (guessing here). It was generated by the routine "bind".


Mon May 13 14:49:28 2002 :: Initializing socket
Init_socket: bind: errno EADDRNOTAVAIL triggered


Search for "bind" to see where that might be ...


$ grep bind *.c
comm.c: if ( bind( fd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa) ) == -1 )
comm.c: perror( "Init_socket: bind" );


OK, it's in comm.c. Edit that and look for the word 'bind' ...


inet_aton("216.162.171.220", &sa.sin_addr);
if ( bind( fd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa) ) == -1 )


Hmm - one line before "bind" is a reference to a specific IP address - "216.162.171.220". I am deeply suspicious of this line, a hard-coded IP address is hardly going to work for everybody, and is probably why you got "address not available. Comment it out ...


//inet_aton("216.162.171.220", &sa.sin_addr);


Type "make" to rebuild, and try again ...
