Rot mud without linux stuff

I've been running a mud in windows with no probs (other than the fact that its in windows). So recently i installed linux on another computer but forgot that .exe files won't run in redhat. So now i have the source code and a make file that produces only an .exe file.

I tried the "startup" file, but it searches for "rot" file which doesn't exist. I think i need a linux makefile so that it makes "rot" for linux, instead of "rot.exe" for windows.

If you can help soon, it would be appreciated. The codebase is originally from Rot1.4, so Rom 2.4 linux makefile or higher should be good enough (not sure).

The standard makefile that comes with ROM should do it.

i downloaded rom 2.4b6 and took the "makefile.linux" and combined it with the general rot makefile. It worked out, the original makefile for rom didn't seem to make a linux file though. Thanks for the help.
