- This is what you need to do to install lpc4:
-
- 1) Run ./configure, this is a sh script that will generate machine.h and
- Makefile from machine.h.in and Makefile.in
-
- 2) edit config.h and Makefile to suit your purposes.
- I've tried to make it so that you don't have to change config.h or
- Makefile very much. If you need to do what you consider 'unnessecary
- changes' then mail me and I'll try to fit it into configure.
- If possible, use gnu make, gcc, gnu sed and bison.
-
- 3) Run make.
-
- 4) optionally, run 'make verify' to check that the compiled driver works
- as it should (might be a good idea) This can take a little time and use
- quite a lot of memory, because the testprogram is 219 Kb.
-
- If you don't have make, try editing and running the sh-script called
- 'script' instead.
-
- What to do when it doesn't work:
- 1) Try again.
-
- 2) ./configure relies heavily on sed, if you have several sed in your path
- try another sed. (preferably gnu sed)
-
- 3) configure might have done something wrong, check machine.h and report
- any errors back to me.
-
- 4) If you try running with my mudlib and it crashes when you try to login
- try to remove the savefile lib/save/players. I've tried to make the
- database stuff portable, but I don't know if I succeded.
-
- 5) Try a different compiler, malloc, compiler-compiler and/or make.
- (if you have any other)
-
- 6)
- If you find a bug in the driver, or have a program that makes the driver dump
- core, please report the bug to hubbe@lysator.liu.se and include the following:
-
- o The version of the driver.
- o What kind of system hardware/software you use (OS, compiler, etc.)
- o the piece of code that crashes or bugs.
- (preferably in a lpc4-script with the bug isolated)
- o a description of what it is that bugs and when.
- o if you know how then also give me a backtrace and dump of vital variables
- at the point of crash.
- o or, if you found the error and corrected it, just send me the bugfix along
- with a description of what you did and why.
