I'm very new to mud servers. I downloaded "winsmaug1.4a.zip" which is a windows port of smaug that comes precompiled and linked with a smaug.exe file.
However I would like to add some snippets and remove some code here and there and have found info on how to do it but I can't figure out how to compile and create a new executable.
Do you have to compile each .c file? And if so how do you link together all the object files that are created into an executable? I've downloaded and installed both cygwin and djgpp compilers. I've heard references made to "make" and "make clean" but am at a loss as to what this means.
I have had very limited experience coding. I used C++ with the borland compiler in school. There we only had one .cpp file and the rest of the files containing code were .h library files. So with a program with all these files I'm at a loss at where to start.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
