| To start with the background:
PII 400, Windows XP with Cygwin (downloaded EVERYTHING on initial install of that).
I untar the file 'tar xzf Rom24b6.tar.gz', it unpacks, goto the src directory to do compile 'make -k' and get the following on my make.out:
db.c:56: conflicting types for 'srandom'
make: *** [db.o] Error 1
make: Target 'rom' not remade because of errors
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated | | Top |

| Fantastic!
Compiled well. Go to startup and receive:
$ bash: ./startup: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[1]+ Exit 126 ./startup
Bleh! The problems with learning. Appreciate the help though: input and insight most welcome! | | Top |

| | On my web page How to make changes, including compiling I mention that under Cygwin it appears that tcsh is the shell to use, not csh. In other words, amend the startup script slightly to change csh into tcsh. |

| It says "[2] Exit 1 startup " because you ran it "in the background". Leave off the "&" and you will run it at your terminal, which you may as well do while you debug.
In my copy of ROM the startup file was in the area directory. Did you change to that directory before typing "startup"? |

| Cygwin is not a unix shell and most things that work on unix will not work with cygwin. With that being said to startup a mud with cygwin you need to copy rom.exe and paste it in the directory with area.lst which should be the same as the area directory. Next goto your area dir, cd rom24/area, and simply type ./rom
That should get the mud started, wait for it to say rom is ready to rock on port 4000 for conformation.
This was written because ppl that dont know cygwin will tell you things that just arent true. | | Top |

| There is a danger you will forget to do the copy after recompiling. Just as easily, change directories, but execute from the source directory. eg.

| As long as you have tcsh installed, or something else that works, you won't have any problems. I've run my codebase in Cygwin before without a problem, and without it complaining about the shell not being there. I don't specifically recall installing tcsh, but apparently it must have been since it seems to work.
It may be worth considering an update to the more recent versions of Cygwin. Most of the complaints I see are lingering rumors and half-truths left over from the older b20 days. There simply isn't any truth to any of those anymore. Go over to www.cygwin.com and download the latest setup.exe they have and have at it. | | Top |

| Well, I am having some problems getting the startup script running despite the presence of tcsh.
In the /rom24/area directory, where the script is located, I have this happening:
$ startup &
BASH: startup: command not found
[1] 495033
[1]+ Exit 127 startup
What am I missing here? The source has already been compiled(with GCC raising a stink about ambiguous if/elses). | | Top |

| Try this:
./startup &
Note the "dot slash". It's generally necessary in *nix, and since Cygwin seeks to emulate this, it's necessary here too. :) | | Top |

| Hmm..it seems to be running, according to ps:
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
138117 1 138117 4294829179 con 663 22:14:27 /usr/bin/BASH
427169 138117 427169 4294698991 con 663 22:16:04 /usr/bin/TCSH
438801 138117 438801 4294659975 con 663 22:16:22 /usr/bin/PS
However, when I attempt to connect to my own machine, it refuses the connection. The script itself is the default one included with ROM; no changes have been made to it.

- When I do it under ps I see the ROM server itself, like this:
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
193 1 193 193 con 1000 06:57:48 /usr/bin/bash
224 1 224 224 con 1000 07:36:19 /usr/bin/bash
277 193 277 273 con 1000 07:38:18 /usr/bin/tcsh
249 277 277 255 con 1000 07:38:19 /home/nick/Rom24/src/rom
271 224 271 279 con 1000 07:38:37 /usr/bin/ps
- You haven't said whether you have eliminated the message:
$ startup &
BASH: startup: command not found
If not, I don't expect to be able to connect.
- In my startup file, I see the lines:
# Set the port number.
set port = 9000
if ( "$1" != "" ) set port="$1"
It seems it is defaulting to port 9000, not 4000, if you use the startup file without an argument. Have you tried connecting to port 9000?
