MudOS for Windows 95 and Windows NT
Port by George Reese (Descartes of Borg)
This port has a few crashers in it. Known bugs include:
* connect() gives an WASEWOULDBLOCK error (*boggle*)
for connecting to the address server or socket efuns
* bug in reading DOS files (files with \r\n)
this is probably fixed in v21.6
* some bug in call outs
* Right now the proper calls to WSAGetLastError() are not made
This is not a simple compile yet, unfortunately. Perhaps someone can
fix the above bugs and simplify the make process? If so, please mail
your fixes to beek@imaginary.com.
To compile MudOS for Windows NT/95, you need:
MS VC++ 2.0 or later (dunno about Borland or other compilers)
gnu bison and sed, get them from ftp.cc.utexas.edu in the winnt section
Steps:
0. move the .mak and .bat files in this directory to the main source directory
and run CLEAN.BAT - this removes all files generated during compile
1. Open up edit_source.mak
2. From the command prompt run STEP1.BAT
3. Build edit_source.exe
4. From the DOS command line, execute STEPDBG.BAT (in case you're building
debug version) or STEPREL.BAT (in case you're building release ver)
5. Open up mudos.mak
6. Build mudos.exe
7. Open addr_server.mak
8. Build addr_server.exe
9. Install your lib and run mudos
Note: if you want to create a DEBUG version of MudOS you have to define
DEBUG symbol either in STD.H or in project setting in both EDIT_SOURCE and
MUDOS.
