TinyMUD

I can't get it to run with cygwin, I'm getting a lot of compiling errors, any idea why?

-Mark

No idea. Is TinyMUD a Smaug mod?

No, a simple C++ MUD made by Nick Gammon as a starter.

TinyMUD should compile essentially out of the box. What errors are you getting, and what version of g++ do you have?

The Cygwin setup file says I have gcc-g++;C++ compiler version 3.4.4-3

I only installed the standard Cygwin files plus gcc for C, C++ and make, maybe there is another file?


And here is what I get when I type make:

See this post:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=4496&page=4

In the middle of that page it describes the changes I had to make to get it to compile under the latest gcc compiler.

I have applied the changes and made a new file for downloading:

http://www.gammon.com.au/files/muds/tinymudserver_v2_3.tgz

Its md5sum is: 2c0fb4f7ecff50708bbd713376c2ae6f

When trying to download the new file it says I don't have access.

Don't know quite what happened then. I have fixed up the permissions, try again please.

We're good now, thnx

Getting a new error now when I try running TinyMUD, looks like this:

$ ./tinymudserver
Tiny MUD server version 2.2.0
Cannot initialise comms ...
bind: Address already in use

Suggestions?

Turn off whatever program is already using that port, or change the port TinyMUD uses.
