compiling Problem

okay I have tried and tried to compile the server (smaug 1.4a) so I can use IMC but keep getting these errors I'm using cygwin

You have done something strange here. I got the IMC stuff to compile by editing Makefile and modifying the lines it mentions:

---

I actually had to remove 5 comments (it was 3 sets of lines).

I also had to add "-DSMAUG14" to C_FLAGS to remove one compile error I got...

okay I got it to compile but now when i run the server I get this message after it says making wizlist


0 [main] smaug 616753 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to SMAUG.EXE .stackdump
segmentation fault (core dumped)

okay also whenever I compile right at the end when it makes the executable it says this

chmod g+w smaug
chmod: changing permissions of 'smuag': No such file or directory
make[1]:*** [smaug] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/smaug2/smaug/src'
make[all]: Error 2

Hmm - I did not have a problem running that version. This is what I saw ...

If you are using the same source as me I'm not sure what the problem is. You could make sure you have the latest Cygwin.

You could try running under gdb to see what the problem is, eg.


gdb ../src/smaug.exe


As for the error during the make, that is a minor problem with the makefile, that doesn't seem to matter. It should read:


chmod g+w smaug.exe


You can change the makefile to make that message go away.

okay I tried it using gdb and got this


unable to read instructions at 0x61004ee7


before I got that a window popped up saying

program received signal sigsegv segmentation fault

okay I ditched what i had and downlaoded the code from your site and got the same thing

okay using gbd and using the next button I can get down to line 281 boot_db() but when I try to go to the next line 282 is when I get the error above line 282 is as follows
log_string("Initializing Socket")

Something must have gone wrong inside boot_db - I suggest you use "step" which will step into the function, instead of "next".

okay nick i got this from an E-mail from nivek and it worked i didn't even think of looking here for the problem
turns out I didn't have the gods directory and I had to take test deity out of the deity list file

okay now that it's running I checked to see if IMC works and it doesn't i uncommented the lines you said before I compiled and it didn't work

I've never used IMC so I don't know how to get it to work. Maybe someone else does. :)

gah i now this probaly sounds stupid but i go to compile the smaug code and then i go to run it and this is what i get

0 [main] smaug 616753 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to SMAUG.EXE .stackdump
segmentation fault (core dumped)

Are you using the stock SMAUG or the one with MXP added?

Have you changed the Makefile to add IMC?

Are you compiling/running on Cygwin (Windows) or Linux?

Do you get any messages before the crash (eg. loading areas)?

Try running with gdb, eg.

cd area
gdb ../src/smaug.exe
run

hrmmm i had to go over this one i got the MXP version
and im using cygwin i tryed using gdb but i got so lost so quick it wasnt funny .

okay i had the same problem when ryunning it look to see if you have a gods directory and also look at the deity.lst file and see if the test deity is listed in it if so remove it and try again this solution was given originally by nivek

It is almost impossible to debut these problems from a distance. I get SMAUG to work both under Cygwin and under Linux/OpenBSD using the supplied source, and making no changes, other than what I described in my "how to compile" page.

I can only suggest that you look at my recent post about using gdb and try to work out what is causing the crash. Typing "bt" (backtrace) in gdb should at least show what function you are in, and where it was called from. That should give a clue. For example, if it is opening a file, check that the file is there.

ahem.....Wahooooooooo!!!
it worked! i added a gods directory and removed the test diety and it worked fine!
Thankyou Straud And Nick without you 2 might have given up

oh and nick thanks for all the info on muds and other stuff yours so far is the only site i have found which explains stuff in a langauge i can understand (oh and i dowloaded a file on how to use gbd =)
