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,
|
|
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.
|
|
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 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" 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
|
|
feel free to stop by The Builder Academy for assistance.
|
|
|
|
It really can not be stressed enough: READ EVERYTHING.

OPTIONAL: Make the following change to src/Makefile.in to make copyover work:
