and I'm not exactly sure why this happens? I've also got the same thing happening when I tried to add the purning thing from afkmud.org but this is my second try at adding finger heh
David Haley USA #1
Not being able to see the lines this refers to makes it about as easy to debug as it is to fill a barrel with holes. :) One thing you could try: put the lime in the coconut...
Metsuro USA #2
Well seeing as I dont get that error unless I'm including a file, because the same issues arrise when I add the purning system as well. So I'm thinking it has something to do with the finger.c or finger.h. Most of the lines are like HOMEDATA *hometowns, or CHAR_DATA *ch
Metsuro USA #3
Alright well to me, it seems its any reference to FILE. example.

line 92 from hometowns.h

HOMETOWN_DATA *fread_hometown args((FILE *fp));

and then 421 and 422 from imc.h

bool imc_loadchar( CHAR_DATA * ch, FILE * fp, const char *word );
void imc_savechar( CHAR_DATA * ch, FILE * fp );


but I could be very wrong, however I do not know because I am just taking wild stabs at it.

After toying around some, I got it to work, just had to include some files that weren't included already.
Conner USA #5
I don't suppose that you'd like to help others in the future avoid this issue by posting what extra includes resolved the issue, especially if they're not listed in the snippet...
Metsuro USA #6
Well I compared my mud.h to one on my wotc codebase. And noticed that the mud.h had...

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <string.h>


where as the mud.h I had only had stdio.h and limits.h i believe. so I added the extras and it seemed to work fine.
Conner USA #7
Actually, that makes sense.. thanks for sharing. :)
