It's been driving me crazy. I'm using Cygwin (latest version) and when i attempt to compile SmaugFUSS 1.8, it (for some reason) screws up. It tells me...

and then it fails out and stops doing anything.

i have NO idea what this means... any UNIX people know how to fix this?

I believe that this was (probably) fixed in 1.9; is there a reason why you're using 1.8 and not 1.9?

I hadn't looked for it... I'll go get it and see if it helps. I'll repost if it still fails.

Actually that error was fixed quite some time back and shouldn't be showing up in 1.8. Are you sure you're not using the Smaug 1.8 that was released by RoD?

You're not actually using SmaugFUSS, you're using very old Smaug 1.8, based on the name of your directory. If it was FUSS, the directory would say smaugfuss.

Unless you're trying to restart an old mud you had then, as suggested above, your best bet is to download SmaugFUSS 1.9 from this site and there should be no problems getting it to compile cleanly.

Thanks very much you guys. FUSS 1.9 compiled like a charm! Sorry for the n00b-ness... I'm not a UNIX man.

New question; Logged in with FUS 1.9's Admin default, but no commands work :S what the hell?

Are you using Cygwin? Did you make sure to edit the Makefile properly?

I had to edit the makefile? :S (Yeah, Cygwin)

There are comments in the Makefile that should say something like "If you are using Cygwin, do this" or "If you are having dynamic command issues, do this".

I'm lost... I have no idea which bits of the makefile to edit. I haven't got a clue! Helps!

In the makefile, very near the top you'll find,

#Uncomment to compile in Cygwin
#CYGWIN = -DCYGWIN

change it to,

#Uncomment to compile in Cygwin
CYGWIN = -DCYGWIN

Make clean, make, and try again.

Thankyou guys, you've all been so helpful. Now everything works, I know how to build using SMAUG's internal code. You all rock! I'll be sure to let everyone know how awesome you are!
