Make via my shell

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.

What do you get? Can you post the stuff you see on the screen? (Copy and paste). And what operating system are you using?

My operating system is XP. The shell OS is Slackware Linux 12.2.0. Annnnnd when I do "make" this is what I recieve (from smaugfuss 1.9 from your website here):
> make
make -s smaug

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.

Linux binaries rarely end with .exe. In fact, most have no extensions.

I'm willing to bet you'll want to run "./smaug" from the shell.

Does it matter what folder Im in?

Ok I did what you said from the src folder since thats where the smaug was.

OK so I figured it out somehow. I went into areas then ../src/smaug and now its running, thanks so much for all the help....now I just have to change the ports to my assigned from the host and Ill be golden!

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.

I think Conner forgot to end the [b] tag, so let me make it more clear:



is the command you should run.
