You didn't say which mud server you be compiling.

Well you only need a handful of packages. The linkage error can be a number of things, windows compiler options turn on, -mno-cygwin, -mwindows, not invoking make from cygwin shell, fudged up your profile so it doesn't export MAKE_MODE=unix, or most likely have NO main() program in your link which means your compile produced errors compiling the module that contains main(). make shouldn't go to the linkage step, unless your makefile is goofy and has err levels off. There is no limit command in cygwin, and it probably can be safely commented out of the shell script.

You can find a walkthru here: <a href="http://sourcery.dyndns.org/wiki.cgi?HowToCompileMud" target="_blank">
