Compiling tbaMUD
under Microsoft Windows using CygWin
Originally by: Jeremy Elson, David Goldstein, Tony Robbins, and George Greer.
tbaMUD compiles under Cygwin without needing any special modifications.
This free pseudo-Unix environment for Windows includes the "bash" shell, "gcc"
family of compilers, and a full set of programs and libraries for Windows users
to compile and run programs from source code intended for Unix. It can be
downloaded from: http://cygwin.com/

Compiling tbaMUD under Cygwin is basically the same as it would be under
another form of Unix:
1) Download from: http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
Select open.
Install from Internet
Select "just me" "dos"
Choose a mirror site.
Leave selected package as default.
Select the following from devel: autoconf, gcc, make, and patchutils
Click Next.
Install, follow prompts.
Install from Internet.
Choose a root directory, I use C:\
Select "just me" "Unix / binary"
Select a local package directory, I use C:\WINDOWS\Temp
Leave Direct Connection selected.
Choose a download site.
You can either click the "circular arrow" next to All to install the whole
thing (it lags a bit, wait for it) or leave default and add the necessary
packages yourself by expanding devel and adding: autoconf, gcc, make, and
patchutils (choose the first one of each). The all option requires
broadband and at least an hour to download. It will automatically install
once complete, just follow the prompts.
2) Download and uncompress the latest version of tbaMUD:
http://cwg.lazuras.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=16
Join the forums as they will be a great resource for any problems that you
encounter. Once you download and uncompress tbaMUD (I use winRAR) read
through the /doc directory.
2) Download the latest version of tbaMUD from http://tbamud.com
Create an account on tbamud.com as it will be a great resource for any
problems that you encounter. Once you download and uncompress tbaMUD (I use
winRAR) read through the /doc directory.
3) Start the Cygwin "bash" shell by double clicking the Cygwin Icon. This will
open a telnet looking window that mimics a *nix server where you can run the
MUD. Go to the directory where you extracted tbaMUD by using the "cd" change
directory command and "dir" directory listing to find the correct files. For
example "C:\tbaMUD". "cd c:/tbaMUD" "dir" in the listed files you should see
one called configure. DO NOT go into the SRC directory yet.
example "C:\tbaMUD". "cd c:/tbaMUD" then "dir" to list the files. You should
see one called configure. DO NOT go into the SRC directory yet.
4) Run the configure script by typing "./configure". This will automatically
detect what programs and library functions are available, and create the
files "Makefile" and "conf.h" based on the results.
If you get complaints from bash that it will not run the configure script
either because it cannot find it or because it claims the file is not
an executable, you can also try "sh configure", "sh ./configure",
"bash configure" and "bash ./configure" until one of them works.
5) NOW change to the /tbaMUD/src directory "cd src", and type "make", and watch
tbaMUD and the additional utilities included in the tbaMUD distribution
automatically being compiled and placed in /tbaMUD/bin.
6) Go back to /tbaMUD, and run the MUD either directly by typing "bin/circle",
or by using the "./autorun &" script. The & makes it run in the background.
7) Start a telnet program. Open a connection to your own machine "localhost"
on port 4000. You should see the MUD's login screen welcoming you. The
first person to login will be promoted to IMP.
If you have problems, read this document again. Most questions are answered in
the documentation or at http://tbamud.com. If you are still having problems

It really can not be stressed enough: READ EVERYTHING.

If you have problems, read this document again. Most of the questions received
in email or which are posted to USENET newsgroups are answered in this file, or
in other documents included in the tbaMUD distribution. If you are still
having problems and you're *sure* that your question is not answered in this
document or in one of the others files in the /tbaMUD/doc directory, try
