| 7 | A note on install locations: |
|---|
| 8 | The entire process goes much more smoothly if you install |
|---|
| 9 | all of the required packages in directories that do not have |
|---|
| 10 | spaces anywhere in the path name. So Program Files is not |
|---|
| 11 | the best location. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | 1. Download and install the MinGW GNU Toolsets for Windows |
|---|
| 15 | from http://www.mingw.org/ |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | 2. Download and install ActiveState Perl for Windows from |
|---|
| 18 | http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/ |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | 3. Download and install the MSys package for Windows from |
|---|
| 21 | http://www.mingw.org/ This should be installed after |
|---|
| 22 | you have installed MinGW and ActivePerl |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | 4. Make certain that your MinGW and Perl locations are |
|---|
| 25 | properly moutned in your MSys /etc/fstab |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | An example fstab content is: |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | #Win32_Path Mount_Point |
|---|
| 30 | c:/mingw /mingw |
|---|
| 31 | c:/perl /perl |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | 5. `cd' to the desired install location with the .tar.gz file |
|---|
| 34 | and unpack the downloaded <version> with: |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | tar xzf pennmush-<version>.tar.gz |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | 6. cd pennmush then type: |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | ./configure |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | 7. Now type: |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | cp options.h.dist options.h |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | and edit options.h as desired, keeping the following |
|---|
| 47 | suggestions in mind: |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | a. Use MALLOC_PACKAGE 0 |
|---|
| 50 | b. Do *NOT* define INFO_SLAVE |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | Hopefully the last be changed in the future. |
|---|
| 53 | Also, 'make update' does not currently work correctly with |
|---|
| 54 | Msys (due to Msys problems), and this will also hopefully get |
|---|
| 55 | worked around in the future. |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | 8. Also, cp game/mushcnf.dist game/mush.cnf and edit. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | 9. Do a `make install' This will build the necessary files and |
|---|
| 60 | install the necessary symbolic links. You can ignore the |
|---|
| 61 | warnings regarding the redefinition of BYTE and LONG which |
|---|
| 62 | are given for funcrypt.c mycrypt.c and/or shs.c. |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | 10. Read game/README and follow those instructions. For MinGW |
|---|
| 65 | you will also need to edit game/restart and explicitly |
|---|
| 66 | set the GAMEDIR variable to your installation path, an |
|---|
| 67 | example is: |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | /home/noltar/pennmush/game |
|---|
| 70 | |
