Compiling CircleMUD on the Amiga
|
|
Written by Damian Jurzysta <boing@amigascne.org>
|
|
|
|
Compiling CircleMUD on the Amiga is basically the same as compiling it using
|
|
UNIX. What you need is:
|
|
|
|
* AmiTCP, INet225R2 or any other TCP/IP stack working with ixnet.library.
|
|
|
|
You can get the limited unregistered version of Miami from
|
|
http://www.nordicglobal.com. An old demoversion of AmiTCP 4.0 can be found on
|
|
AmiNet (ftp://ftp.aminet.org/pub/aminet/comm/tcp/AmiTCP-demo-40.lha).
|
|
|
|
* An installed and fully functional Geek Gadgets programming environment with
|
|
Autoconf installed. I've managed to compile and run CircleMUD using the
|
|
971125, 980523 and 990529 snapshots using GCC 2.7.2 and EGCS 1.1b-1.2.
|
|
The latest EGCS is always the optimal choice.
|
|
|
|
This can be found at ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/geekgadgets.
|
|
Installing this is a bit tricky at first, I recommend reading the manual
|
|
first. It is located at http://www.ninemoons.com/GG/docs/GG_7.html. That
|
|
way you'll know what archives to download and install.
|
|
|
|
* 6 MB's of RAM, it might work with less but has not been tested.
|
|
|
|
You can find it at the local computerstore. :)
|
|
|
|
* A 68020 CPU or better is required, I've not been able to compile it without
|
|
specifying the -m68020 flag, therefor it won't run on a 68000 or 68010 CPU.
|
|
|
|
A1500, A2500, A3000, A4000 and A1200 all come with factoryinstalled 68020-040
|
|
CPU's. If you own an unexpanded Amiga not listed above you'll need to expand
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Here is how you compile this baby:
|
|
|
|
1) Open up a shell.
|
|
2) CD to the circle30bplXX directory. (where 'XX' is the current patchlevel)
|
|
3) Type "sh configure".
|
|
4) CD to the src directory.
|
|
5) Edit the Makefile file and add -m68020 to MYFLAGS.
|
|
6) Edit the config.c file and replace "const char *LOGNAME = NULL;" with
|
|
"const char *LOGNAME = "log/syslog";". If you don't do this, logging
|
|
won't be working properly.
|
|
7) CD to the util directory and repeat step 5.
|
|
8) Due to a buggy/non-functional/missing implementation of HAS_RLIMIT in
|
|
ixemul.library/Geek Gadgets you need to edit sysdep.h and remove or comment
|
|
the definition of HAS_RLIMIT on line 324 saying "#define HAS_RLIMIT".
|
|
9) CD back to the src directory.
|
|
10) Type "make all".
|
|
|
|
If you want to optimize the binary executable, change MYFLAGS to correspond
|
|
with your current processor (-m68020, -m68030, -m68040 or -m68060) and FPU
|
|
(-m68881). The -m68060 option is not included in GCC 2.7.2, only in EGCS 1.1+.
|
|
Also add -O3 to MYFLAGS to activate maximum optimization and inlining. I'm not
|
|
sure -O3 is working with GCC 2.7.2, if you get compiler errors replace it with
|
|
-O2. Finally, remove -g and -O2 from CFLAGS to remove debugging information and
|
|
to avoid the above -O3 (or -O2 if you're using GCC 2.7.2) to collide with this
|
|
flag.
|
|
|
|
To run the server all you need to do is follow these five simple steps:
|
|
|
|
1) Make sure you have a TCP/IP stack running. You don't need to be connected to
|
|
the net, just leave it running.
|
|
2) Open up a shell.
|
|
3) Since the UNIX autorun kept crashing on my machine, I wrote my own autorun
|
|
script. If "sh autorun" isn't working for you, type "autorun.amiga".
|
|
4) If it says "file is not executable" when you try to run autorun.amiga, type
|
|
"protect autorun.amiga +es" and run it again.
|
|
5) To connect to it, use a telnet or MUD client and connect to localhost, port
|
|
4000. If you don't have one, use the one supplied with Geek Gadgets:
|
|
'telnet localhost 4000'. The first person to log in will be made an
|
|
implementor (level 34) with all powers.
|
|
|
|
You may want to read the README.UNIX file since most what is written in it also
|
|
complies to the Amiga Geek Gadgets environment.
|
|
|
|
If someone manages to compile it on a PowerPC processor, please contact me.
|
|
I don't own a PowerUP/G3/G4-board myself so I've not been able to test this.
