This is directions for compiling & linking CircleMUD for OpenVMS.
|
||
|
|
Additional documentation can be found at.
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have personally tested this port on both VAX and Alpha with OpenVMS v7.0
|
||
|
|
and DEC C v7.0 and Multinet TCP/IP using UCX emulation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build this, you need the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.1) DEC C compiler. I have tested with DEC C v7.0 and can help out
|
||
|
|
with problems with earlier versions of DEC C. If you don't have
|
||
|
|
the DEC C compiler I suggest you get a copy through the OpenVMS
|
||
|
|
Hobbyist program at http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.2) A TCP/IP stack for OpenVMS that supports UCX emulation. I have
|
||
|
|
personally only tested out Multinet v4.1B and Multinet v4.2.
|
||
|
|
If you are using a TCP/IP stack that dosen't support UCX
|
||
|
|
emulation I would suggest getting a copy of Multinet though the
|
||
|
|
OpenVMS hobbyist program at http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.3) A copy of the CircleMUD distribution file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be found at ftp://ftp.circlemud.org/3.x/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, you have everything, do the following...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.1) Unpack the CircleMUD file you got from "www.circlemud.org"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.2) Go to the SRC directory and locate the BUILD_CIRCLEMUD.COM file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The BUILD_CIRCLEMUD.COM file accepts the following parameters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P1 ALL Just Build "Everything".
|
||
|
|
CIRCLE Just Build [.BIN]CIRCLE.EXE.
|
||
|
|
UTILS Just Build The CircleMUD Utilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P2 DEBUG Build CircleMUD With Debugging Information.
|
||
|
|
NODEBUG Build CircleMUD Without Debugging Information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default is "ALL" and "NODEBUG".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "BUILD_CIRCLEMUD.COM" script checks some filenames to make
|
||
|
|
sure that they are correct as some of them are unpacked different
|
||
|
|
between the TAR file distribution and the ZIP file distribution.
|
||
|
|
It also checks for "CONF.H" and if not found copies "CONF.H_VMS"
|
||
|
|
to "CONF.H" for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So if you just want to build "everything" without debugging
|
||
|
|
information you could use...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ @BUILD_CIRCLEMUD ALL NODEBUG
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ @BUILD_CIRCLEMUD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The EXE's will be placed in the CircleMUD BIN directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, define the logical CIRCLEMUD_BIN to point to the "BIN" directory of
|
||
|
|
the CircleMUD directory like this...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC CIRCLEMUD_BIN DISK$WORK:[CIRCLE30BPL16.BIN]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run CircleMUD, just execute the "VMS_AUTORUN.COM" file in the CircleMUD
|
||
|
|
root directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To customize how CircleMUD runs, edit the "VMS_CIRCLEMUD.COM" file in the
|
||
|
|
BIN directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To customize CircleMUD features (like player killing etc) edit the "CONFIG.C"
|
||
|
|
file in the SRC directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To edit the CircleMUD login message, edit the GREETINGS.; file found in the
|
||
|
|
TEXT directory under the LIB directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the CircleMUD utilities, execute the file VMS_MUD_UTILS.COM in the
|
||
|
|
BIN directory and it will create the VMS symbols for the utilities.
