Im a complete newbie trying to run DBsaga 2.0. I've got the codebase downloaded and I have Cygwin ver.1.7.17-1. I've read some of the how to compile threads and other posts but I don't exactly understand what I should do. The dbsc is in a zip file still. Do I need to move that folder somewhere into Cygwin? Im only doing this for personal use, learning to build and general fun. Can anyone give me a simple step-by- step newbie friendly guide to get this running on mushclient please?
Newbie needing help with Cygwin/smaug codebase

There was a thread recently involving Cygwin:

You should probably also read this:

To run most MUDs you need both a codebase (eg. Smaug, Mux, MUSH) and also the appropriate database / rooms file.
It isn't clear exactly what you have.

I got it worked out now the codebase was outdated. I now have used the make command and compiled everything but now when I use ./startup in the src folder I get Permission Denied. Is it something to do with using Windows 8?
Might be. It might depend where you installed Cygwin, maybe.
Ah that might be the problem. Should I just re-install it in a different location then such as My Documents?
Try it and see.
Okay. I tried re-installing Cygwin to My Documents instead; however, now when I bring up the terminal it is completely different and does recognize any default Cygwin command.
This is what it shows when installed to a folder that is not default..
bash-4.1$
When I tempt to use LS to find the directory, I am given this message.
bash-4.1$ ls
bash: ls: command not found
bash-4.1$ ls
Please keep in mind this is Windows 8. I had no problem a few years ago using the program on XP. What am I missing? And where should I try to install cygwin since the C:\ location is giving me permission issues when trying to use ./startup?

I honestly don't know about Windows 8. I don't have a copy.
I can only suggest you Google something like "cygwin windows 8" and see what happens.
