Ok i fixed that problem. I opened makefile and it had in there some notes about some lines in there one of them was something about the type of error i got and it said to delete that line (i assume thats what it meant for me to do) but.... got a new problem now (this probably should go on running the server bit but anyway)
I try running smaug.exe....

If you could tell me whats wrong thanks.

No area.lst file? Sounds like you aren't in the area directory. I usually do this after a compile:


cd ../area
../src/smaug


Ok thanks alot for that it works now
