| | I was wondering if there was a way to get the smaug server you can compile under cygwin to run as a stand alone without haveing to use cygwin all the time you want to start it up? (Pardon the rambling, been an exhausting day.) | | Top |

| In the cygwin\bin directory is a file: cygwin1.dll
Copy that into your path (eg. c:\windows\system, or c:\winnt\system32) and then you should be able to simply double-click smaug.exe and it will run (it did when I tried it).

| | hmm, I tried that. When I double clicked, it would start up then immeadiatly shut back down again, is there anything I might be missing? Or will I need a win32 emulator to get it to work right? | | Top |

| | It is probably giving some error message. Try running it under Cygwin first, to see what the message is, then you can use the other technique to save having to start up a Cygwin window every time. |

| | The error might be to do with the directory it is in. Make sure you run it from the same directory you are in when you run it under Cygwin. |

| the path of my exe is at:
C:\cygwin\home\default\smaug\src
that's the same path that I use to run it under cyg. I don't understand why it still won't run on its own, and I did follow the instructions you've provided thus far. There also haven't been any errors (miraculous as that is considering I'm pretty lousy with codeing and codeing changes). Well, I can allways try to find a compatible compiler to use... | | Top |

| | Try putting the .exe into the "area" directory. |
