Cygwin problem

Im using cygwin to compile my mud and so forth. But it wont let me do make or make clean why is this?

You probably didn't install make when you installed Cygwin. Just run the installer again, and make sure you select 'make' from the list of packages.

Take a look at this if you haven't already:

http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/installingcygwin.htm

ive doen all that and when i type make and i am in src it keeps saying

make no target found blah blah no makefile
make smaug nothign to be done for smaug.

i think im missing files but im not sure.

Are you using SmaugFUSS? If not, I recommend it.

If you can't, could you show us the Makefile?

this is wat it says exactly(i took a makefile from another smaug program)

im using smaug1.4 jsut to add

$ make
make smaug
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/sm/src'

and heres the make file

I don't know why you're getting those errors. As Zeno suggested, I would recommend using SMAUGfuss since it has been maintained much more regularly, and besides the fact that it is more likely to compile correctly on modern systems, it also has very many bug fixes that any new SMAUG game should have.

im getting a error when i use smaugfuss now


$ make
make -s smaug

how do i fix this i tried and took the ld out but then i couldnt do anything when i was on the mud. so how do i fix this.

There are flags in the Makefile you need to toggle for that. Or try doing a search here.
