I recently downloaded the code and, for some fabulous reason, am receiving a rather curious error.


obj/clanedit.o: In function `clanedit_create(char_data *, char *)':
/home/mud/fd2/cirin/mud/dot/src/clanedit.cpp:124: undefined reference to `atexit'
obj/comm.o: In function `install_other_handlers(void)':
/home/mud/fd2/cirin/mud/dot/src/comm.cpp:931: undefined reference to `atexit'

I understand that this is a standard function and it should be in stdlib.h. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, in advance, for your time.

Ok, so.

I commented out void install_other_handlers, since atexit is the main call in it and I commented out all instances of it in comm.cpp.
Did a 'grep atexit *' and received nothing.
Did a 'make clean'.
Did a make.
GOT


obj/clanedit.o: In function `clanedit_create(char_data *, char *)':
/home/mud/fd2/cirin/mud/dot/src/clanedit.cpp:124: undefined reference to `atexit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dawn] Error 1

Went there and clanedit.cpp:124 is:
" node = new CClanType;"

So....yeah. I've emailed the admin for my server to find out why they don't have an up-to-date stdlib, might just have to move to a different place. Any ideas from anyone?

Might try contacting Balo (balo@storm-bringer.org) as he currently hosts several DoT MUDs and is guaranteed to have the most up-to-date libraries and such. He's currently visiting family so a response may take a few days.

Talked to the admin on my server, they're working on getting the correct libs. Shouldn't take them long, although they seem overly lazy.

Ok, they got it up and running, I'm all set.
