ok, I am really batting 1000
I downloaded this and lua 5.1 and it won't compile under cygwin at all. gd.h missing or something.
maybe I should give up trying to be a mudder, cause getting one going sure is one hell of a mudder...
Robert Powell Australia #1
Can you post the actuall compile messages so we can see exactly whats going on, obviously your missing a header somewhere and need to install an extra package in cygwin.

Now dont give up too soon, when i first started i knew even less then you do, i still try to do things way over my head, but thats the fun of learning.
David Haley USA #2
I didn't realize anything used gd... that's odd, since it's a drawing library, but, err, ok... yeah, do what Robert suggested and post the exact messages. In the meantime, you can try installing the "libgd" package and see if that helps.

And yeah, it definitely is a fairly difficult process... but the eventual rewards are worth it IMO. :)

It helps to quote (ie. copy and paste) the actual error message. As far as I can see there is no reference to gd.h at all in Lua.

I just compiled it fine under Cygwin:

Corey #4
no, the mud, not the lua.
Robert Powell Australia #5
smaug does not use dg.h that im aware of. can you post the actual compile errors.
Corey #6
ok, read all the docs on nick's site, got smaug fuss 1.7 lua to compile. in the docs it says compile lua make linux, but it needs make ansi. ok, now you want to hear something funny? SmaugFuss 1.7 Lua won't run fuss areas or smaug areas. I get this error in my logs, and the mud exits.

Can you post the links to smaugfuss1.7 and lua package your using. The areas that come with the package always work.

Well I can't reproduce that. Using a fairly fresh copy of a Cygwin install (which I did last week or so):

  • I downloaded that exact file to make sure we are talking about the same thing.
  • I untarred it:

    
$ tar xzf smaug17fuss_lua_v4.tgz
$ cd smaugfuss/src

  • I edited the Makefile to uncomment the Cygwin line. That is, changed:

    
#Uncomment to compile in Cygwin
#CYGWIN = -DCYGWIN


    to:

    
#Uncomment to compile in Cygwin
CYGWIN = -DCYGWIN

  • I then typed "make" and got this:

    
$ make
make -s smaug

make[1]: *** [o/lua_bits.o] Error 1

  • I think this error is mentioned somewhere else, anyway to fix it you remove the entire function bit_tonumber from lua_bits.c - there are problems under Cygwin and that function is not used anyway.

    You also delete this line in that file:

    
  {"tonumber", bit_tonumber},  // new by Nick

  • Typing "make" again finishes the compile:

ok, read all the docs on nick's site, got smaug fuss 1.7 lua to compile. in the docs it says compile lua make linux, but it needs make ansi. ok, now you want to hear something funny? SmaugFuss 1.7 Lua won't run fuss areas or smaug areas. I get this error in my logs, and the mud exits.

The area problem is really easy to fix, pull out the areas from the origional package you downloaded and load up with those.

Nicks smaug lua code is an earlier version of FUSS and does not use the FUSSAREA section name convention of the newer versions of fuss.

Areas while you may think are totally portable between versions of smaug are sometimes not. The newest versions of FUSS have some fixes to the area file format that make nested containers work correctly.

So untar all the files again out of the package you linked above, re-compile, fix the error in code and it should just start up for you.
