Fuss 1.7 compile errors

Hi, I have never used Cygwin and decided to use it as a teaching tool. I tried to use SWRFUSS to see if maybe the code was weird but it was fine. Everytime I try to compile it says.
Assembler message:
FATAL: cant create o/imc.o: no such file or directory


please help :)?

Did you make sure to toggle the correct flags in the Makefile?

Yeah i took the # off the Cygwin thing. Something else Im suppose to do?

Hmm. Check to see there is a folder named 'o' in the 'src' folder?

I got it to work somehow, i guess you couldnt just unzip it with winzip. But I get some other message now too.
cannot find -ldl

I am not sure how to cut and paste with Cygwin, so any help would be nice. I would like to get this set up asap =D

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't there a part of the makefile you should comment/uncomment upon receiving errors about ldl missing? Look into that, see if it helps you.

Winzip does not correctly recreate directory structures when some of the directories are empty.

And I think Gatewaysysop2 is right about needing to comment/uncomment something from the makefile about the dl library.

Yeah there is but its not on SmaugFUSS its on swrFUSS for some reason x_x;;;

It should be in all Makefiles. Double check.

I triple checked ;_;

Go into your makefile, and find the line:

L_FLAGS = $(PROF) $(SOLARIS_LINK) -lz -ldl

Delete out the -ldl part.
Ok ok... Technically it compiles... But then you try to execute smaug and thats when things go wrong.

so it doesnt work and I shouldnt do it?

It compiles, you can run it, but then the only thing you can do is use socials...

I dont see how that helps me at all x_x

Make sure that there isn't a Cygwin installation package for the dl library. It'll be called libdl or something like that.

I did install all, so I have everything Cygwin could offer.

Samson has fixed the Makefile.

Ok where would I find the fix at, I looked at Smaugfuss.org

[EDIT - 11 March 2008] - The Smaug FUSS site is now http://www.smaugmuds.org/

It should be in the download now.

indeed it is, and its all done. Now to try to start it up.
