| As a long-time Imm, I'm familiar with building and basic C++, but this is my first attempt to create my own MUD using SMAUG. I'm attempting to compile it using Cygwin, but it doesn't allow me to use the "make" command, and I've been unsuccessful in all attempts to look up a place to download a possible missing file for it.
After a while, I just gave up on it and downloaded the exe that supposedly makes 1.04a work without a linux-style compiler, but when I try to run this through the command prompt, I get the following error.

After a little research, I found that I've got commands.dat in the right file, and nothing seems to be wrong with it.
I'm sure it's just an idiot newbie mistake I'm making, but any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

| | You need to be in the correct directory - if simply running the smaug.exe file, you need to be in the area directory. |

| | Also, to run 'make', you need to have the program installed (see the Cygwin install program, look for "make"). |
