Compiling CircleMUD
|
|
under OS/2 Warp Connect v3.0 or 2.1

|
To compile CircleMUD under OS/2, you must have the following:
|
|
All needed files can be found at the hobbes.nmsu.edu FTP site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3.0, or OS/2 Version 2.1 with TCP/IP installed.
|
|
You should have at least 8 megs of memory. (Circle runs quite well on an
|
|
8 meg machine).
|
|
|
|
* An HPFS formatted drive. CircleMUD needs to be uncompressed on an HPFS
|
|
drive because it uses long filenames.
|
|
|
|
* The EMX09b runtime and compilation systems. These are free and
|
|
can be downloaded by anonymous FTP at hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/unix/emx09b
|
|
|
|
* The OS/2 port of GNU's GCC compiler. This can also be found at
|
|
hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/unix/emx09b. Please make sure you have the most
|
|
recent version of the GCC compiler for OS/2, as files needed by CircleMUD
|
|
were not included in earlier versions of GCC for OS/2. The current version
|
|
is 2.7.0
|
|
|
|
* GNU's TAR and GZIP programs to decompress the necessary files. Again
|
|
these can be found at hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/unix.
|
|
**** You only need this if you plan on getting some of the various
|
|
**** addons for Circle that others have coded.
|
|
|
|
* A MAKE program. Either the GNU Make, or IBM's NMAKE should work. You
|
|
can obtain the NMAKE from either IBM's Developers kit or from
|
|
hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/16dev.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
*** IMPORTANT
|
|
***
|
|
*** You must have EMX and GCC installed and the directories in your
|
|
*** PATH and LIBPATH statements in your CONFIG.SYS. Please read the
|
|
*** EMX installation instructions included with that package for more
|
|
*** information on how to install both EMX and GCC.
|
|
|
|
Download the ZIP archive of Circle and use your favorite UNZip utility
|
|
to extract it.
|
|
|
|
After you have uncompressed the files, switch to the directory that has
|
|
the CircleMUD files in it, and then to the SRC subdirectory. Rename
|
|
the following files:
|
|
|
|
Rename 'conf.h.os2' to 'conf.h'.
|
|
Delete the old 'makefile', and rename 'makefile.os2' to 'makefile'.
|
|
|
|
To compile the MUD type the following at an OS/2 command line:
|
|
|
|
NMAKE /i
|
|
|
|
CircleMUD will be compiled and the executable will be put in your current
|
|
directory. Copy the CIRCLE.EXE file to the circle30\bin directory. Then
|
|
follow the CircleMUD instructions in README on how to start up the MUD.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: General questions about CircleMUD can be addressed to the author,
|
|
Jeremy Elson, at jelson@circlemud.org. However, all questions which
|
|
specifically deal with the OS/2 port of Circle should go to my address,
