Compiling with Cygwin

I keep getting this error when I try to compile this code.

Running Windows 2000, any help would be great.

Forgot to mention I tried Nick said to do. Adding "-DNOCRYPT" and "-DOLD_RAND"


I still get the same message with or without adding that stuff.

Here is what the original make file looks like.

Exactly which ROM file did you compile?

Its some code for a mud I play. The admin gave me the source code for it so I can play with it. He runs it under linux and was wondering if there was a way to run it under windows. Its his code, a modified version of rom 2.4

I couldn't see an error message there, only warnings. It is hard to say for sure, but under Cygwin you should be able to do it.

I don't really have time to download and work out how to compile every bit of modified code. Try looking at the messages carefully, and search this forum for keywords based on the error message.
