Compiling CircleMUD under RiscOS
by Gareth Duncan (garethduncan@argonet.co.uk)
You will need:
The CircleMUD source code.
!GCC, !UnixLib, drlink and make avaliable from Hensa.
Acorns sockets library avaliable form the Acorn ftp site.
A copy of !FreeNet and !FreeTerm.
1) Firstly obtain a copy of !GCC, !UnixLib, drlink, make and Acorns
sockets libary.
2) Place the directory Sockets from the sockets library inside
!UnixLib37.src.clib
3) Unpack the CircleMUD binary and start setting up the directory
structures in the src directory.
4) src
|
----------------------------------
| | | | | |
util act c h o conf
|
---------------
| | |
c h o
5) Place all the files in the correct directories according to their
name remembering to remove the directory information from the
filename.
e.g. ban/c goes in the directory c and is renamed to ban.
act/item/c goes in the directory act then c and is renamed to
item.
6) Set the type of any data files in the src directories to text.
7) Copy the acorn configure file (should be conf/h/arc) into the h
directory and rename it conf.
8) Create an obey file called !Compile in the src containing the
following lines
-- begin (don't linclude this line)
WimpSlot -min 10000K -max 10000K
dir <Obey$Dir>
make -r
-- end (don't linclude this line)
and set the wimpslot to as much memory as you can afford.
9) Place the make program in the src directory and rename the file
Makefile/arc to Makefile removing the old file already called
Makefile.
10) Unpack GCC and Unixlib placing them where you want and then
double click on them. Then run the !Compile file. Everything
should run okay. Make sure that drlink is placed inside GCC in the
bin directory. If you get any error messages check that the code
changes at the bottom of this file are present. If not alter the
code as instructed.
11) Place the module CallASWI from !UnixLib37.src.CallASWI in the bin
directory.
12) Now get a copy of the FreeNet internet stack or a recent version
of Acorns stack and FreeTerm. Make sure the FreeUser start up
script has the line
ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 up
Then run the startup script, run FreeTerm and then open a task
window. Run the !Run file (which should be placed in the directory
above src) from the task window by typing in its file name and
then press return, the Mud should load (you should be able to just
shift drag the !Run file onto the window if you are using !Zap).
13) To log onto the mud type localhost and set the port to 4000 in
FreeTerm and then press connect
Please excuse the poor spelling and grammar in this and if you have
any trouble contact garethduncan@argonet.co.uk.
Bye.
