Linux Smaug Makefile Help

Hi -

RH9 - Linux
GCC - compiling in the shell

Im having a problem linking:
Smaug 1.4a (customize over the past 4 years)
Original Distribution was a Nick Gammon port to Win32
(the code has numerous ifdef WIN32 statements, but still should compile -
might not be stable until removed...etc)
-I have checked lots or archives but still I can't find out the issue
RH9 - Linux
GCC - compiling in the shell

problem seems to be alot of undefined references - seems that mud.h

Here is my makefile - and the errors below .
Please Help??

You said 'customize over the past 4 years'. There seems to be many functions that are undefined. Try adding those to mud.h

No. Adding them to a header file won't help since this error is in the linking phase.

It looks like do_quit and a few other functions aren't defined in your code even though they are declared. (That's why you get a linker error and not a compiler error - if it wasn't declared, it would give you an error at compile time.)

My suggestion is to first start with a make clean; make; and if that doesn't work go find out if those functions exist in the code and if there aren't any #ifdef blocks that are preventing their compilation.

Thanks Sincerely for Replying to this albeit Cry for help.

I have been working hard on getting my first RH 9 distrubution going so its been a long week of configuring. I really thought I had checked everything on the Makefile, but since I don't code for a living, I still make novice mistakes. First, let me say that my code is compiled. Next Id like to point out what the solution was - my C files and my O files were poorly mapped. I went through my C files - some of were left off the make file, and I added them manually. I didn't add an 'O' file for each 'C' - I also was missing 2 'H' files - so because the source code was missing - the linker freaked out.

What is interesting to me is that I have been coding in MSC++ for 4 years - and only a couple of times did I even open the Makefile. Tell me if I am wrong - but I think MSC++ holds the dependent info in it's 'workspace' settings.

Now that I am compiling in GCC in the shell, I am going to have to relearn/learn some things I took for granted using that other program.

Tell me something - if I include a 'depend' command in my Makefile - would it auto-create all my Cflags, Oflags, Hflags, etc?

Still learning, TX in advance.

VC++ stores the dependency information in the project settings, yes, or perhaps even recalculates it every time. Many makefiles do the same thing, by having a first step of producing dependency information and a second step of acting on it.

I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean, but there are tools like 'automake' that will generate makefiles for you - you still need to fill in libraries and the like, but it'll create a makefile that compiles the source files in your directory. You can also do things like 'make depend' in some circumstances which will generate dependency chains.

Ksilyan -

Yes thanks - you did get it right - I was asking about Make Depend - while sorting out my makefile - I tried several experiments and used Make Depend - in the final version, I took it out - I do not want all my .C files added to the executable. Simply because there are still some code I am working on.

I finally got everything sorted late last night - lots of reformatting directories and area file names etc, the game seems to be running real well, and I only had to GDB - bt a couple of times. Thats a great tool. I recommend everyone read Nick Gammon's GDB primer if you compile in the Shell or need to debug your game. It took me 30 minutes to figure out and I solved 2 major problems getting my system up and running. Granted my code is clean - so I didn't expect too many issues - at least it was in Win32.

So for the record - I used the Win32 build of Smaug1.4a - from Nick Gammon - which I would like to thank him for that - it is great - and further more - I have successfully ported it to redhat 9. Now for some rest =)

Cheers!

Congratulations, I'm glad to hear you worked out your problems and have it running. :)

And yes, Nick's guide truly is of very good quality.
