Re: need help walking through diku set up c++
 

You're converting Diku to C++?

What is strd_up suppose to do?

Sargas, you might post what OS you're hosting it on, exactly what build of what MUD etc.

And it's Diku Gamma?
No offense, but why are you starting with one that old?

its a modified diku code formarly a mud called Forbidden lands its just one I want to learn on, and if I can get it up it has a loyal base or atleast from the people I talk to wanting it back up.

In many cases, MUD administrators who release code sometimes sabotage it upon release (either intentionally or inadvertantly). This is because many times there are parts that are not packaged with the release. Check to see if your code comes with a startup script. If it compiled ok, you're on your way to getting it operating.

Of course, there is always this failsafe:

linux:prompt$ cd area ; nohup ../src/<mud name> <port> &

Which will detach a process running the mud on a specific port until the machine reboots or the process is killed.

If you're getting compile errors, it would help to post them.
