| | I don't know if any of you have tried out the "sharpen" snippet by Rantic from FrozenMUD, but I put it in and all compiles fine until I get to mud.h, when somewhere around line 300(I can't tell exactly cuz I'm using Cygwin and it won't let you scroll up) I get about a bazzilion errors all stating either a conflicting type or a previous declaration of a ton of differant things. What would cause this and how should I go about fixing it? | | Top |

| The errors are in the form of:
mud.h :5433: error: conflictiong types for "eItemBid"
mud.h :5433: error: previous declaration "eItemBid"
etc.
Could it be the patch you have to patch in? I'm not sure how Cygwin allows you patch it in, so I typed <sharpen.patch, which brought up a blank line so I assume it patched it. Perhaps not?

| To get a bigger Cygwin window, right-click on the upper-left icon of the prompt window, go to the 'Layout' tab, and increase the dimensions of the window as you wish. You can adjust not only window size (under 'window size'), but also the amount of lines in the scroll buffer (under 'screen buffer size').
This way, you might get more of an error report.
Another thing you can do is type:
make 2> errors.txt
to fill the file errors.txt with the errors (stderr) from make.
FYI '>' is an output redirector; what make would normally print to the standard error channel i.e. the screen is instead printed to the file errors.txt. The '2' means channel 2, which is the number for stderr. |

------------------
I do remember that on step that states:
---------
7) Add an "ASSIGN_GSN(gsn_sharpen, "bottle");" line in the boot_db
function, near the other ASSIGN_GSNs (these three steps commonly
known as "adding the gsn").
---------
I did not use "bottle" but "sharpen", as I don't understand why it'd call for "bottle". Could this have something to do with it?
Thanks and God bless!

/edit Nope, it wasn't the bottle. /edit | | Top |

| Could this possibly be the problem? As others have hinted, maybe you've included something you don't need, namely a double inclusion of mud.h in skills.c (is that where you put the code for this?)
If you take the code directly from sharpen.c, that has an "#include mud.h" statement at the top. If you pasted that into skills.c, you may indeed have a problem since mud.h is *already included* at the top of skills.c. In other words, take one of them out of skills.c if it appears twice.
Just wondering if that might be it, judging from the errors.

| | Yes, a double-inclusion of mud.h is nearly without a doubt the culprint here. It could be fixed with a trivial include guard, or simply not including the file twice. |

| Hey guys, one more question. I put in the "charge" skill by the same folks as made "sharpen", and the only error I am getting is:
-------
skills.c:6017: error: too few arguments to function 'is_safe'
----
Now I pasted the code directly from the charge.c document to skills.c so I didn't change anything that I can think of that would cause this. What's up?
Here's the code mentioned in skills.c
--------
if ( is_safe( ch, victim ) )
return;
-----------

| So the errors are fixed?
Look over your "header" of the is_safe funtion, seems like it was modified. Paste it here. |

| | When you pasted the code from charge.c to skills.c did you do that on your own initiative or was it part of the instructions? In the first case, what did you not paste? Or, in the second case, are you sure you did everything right? |

| The txt document says to add the code, preferrably to skills.c, which I did. The only thing I changed was I removed the #include mud.h like we found in sharpen. Then I changed the spelling on some of the send_to_char text fields, but nothing that dealt with the is_safe variable. But the error said there wasn't enough arguments. Wouldn't that be pretty easy to solve, as all it does is check for the char, the victim, and then return? I just am not sure how to make a valid argument to add.

| | You should do what Zeno suggested, then, i.e. go find the definition for is_safe and see what it says, and paste it here. |

| Whoops, didn't see Zeno's post! Yep, that's what I went and did. It appears the charge code left out the TRUE in the typical string of:
is_safe( ch, victim, TRUE ) )
and instead it said:
is_safe(ch,victim) )
So that is resolved. Thanks again guys! :)
