- Didn't realise so many people were struggling to get MudOS up under Linux,
- or I would have uploaded version ages ago. I'll tar up my source directory
- today, and make it available to the masses later this week. Note that the
- version I have is 0.9.14.14, a pre-release of 0.9.15. It seems quite stable
- though, and I haven't had any crashes I haven't been able to track down and
- fix. You won't get a mudlib though, as the Basis mudlibs from TMI stopped
- working with their drivers some time ago... :-) Blam them. 8-)
- There are a few MudOS mudlibs out there, read a few of the .lp groups and
- you'll soon find them. I think there is one on orlith.bates.edu
- (134.181.1.12) called Nightmare, but I've never tried it.
-
- The only other thing you need is loopback telnet to be able to connect
- to your own IP ports.
-
- As for the things I had to do to make it work, it wasn't that much. The
- usual #ifdef'ing in lint.h, and about 10-15 changes to the code. Mostly
- adding #ifdefs to places already #ifdef'ed out by other architectures.
- Nothing fancy (like you have to do when porting muds to MSDOS...*urg*)
- Compiling with the -static flag is also a good idea...
