merc.h:34:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

This means you need to install zlib. If you search for 'zlib' on these forums, you'll find instructions. The short version is that you need the dev package from Ubuntu's package manager.

act_comm.c:2007: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments

This is saying that you might as well use strcat and not (presumably) sprintf. Normally this is a warning, but you're using -Werror so warnings become errors.

act_comm.c:152: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

This error comes up pretty frequently, just search the forums for lvalue. The forum might have material for SMAUG but it's basically the same coding problem as ROM.

When you found posts on the forum explaining those problems, which parts weren't clear or helpful to you? If you plan on running the MUD yourself, you'll need to understand these things, so you might as well start now. If you help us understand what confused you, we can better help you learn your way around.

ok i will use this one as a example

act_comm.c:152: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

line 152 is
 REMOVE_BIT(ch->comm,COMM_TIMESTAMP);



the hole part of the script is


void do_timestamp( CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument)
{
    ARGUMENT(argument);
    
   if (IS_SET(ch->comm,COMM_TIMESTAMP))
   {
     send_to_char("Channel timestamps are OFF.\n\r",ch);
     REMOVE_BIT(ch->comm,COMM_TIMESTAMP);
   }
   else 
   {
     send_to_char("Channel timestamps are ON.\n\r",ch);
     SET_BIT(ch->comm,COMM_TIMESTAMP);
   }
}



and i do not see any thing wrong with the code layout or how it is in there

You have to fix missing include files first. They may have very important things in them that would make everything else work.

Can you tell us exactly where you got your copy of ROM from? I could at least look at the source to see what is happening then. There have been a few versions, so a link to where you downloaded it would help.

  • Can you show what REMOVE_BIT does? I found in my copy of ROM, this in merc.h:

    
    #define REMOVE_BIT(var, bit)    ((var) &= ~(bit))
    


    (Yours may be different).

  • Can you show what COMM_TIMESTAMP is declared as?

  • What is the "comm" field inside CHAR_DATA? In my copy it is:

    
    long        comm;

here is the define

grep COMM_TIMESTAMP *.{c,h}


More importantly, how is comm defined? If it is the same as mine, and is a long, then the code is trying to coerce it into a 64-bit integer, which it can't do.

It is nothing to do with the OS, because the compiler will still complain.

You might try removing the coercion from the macro (ie. make it the same as mine). Similarly for SET_BIT.

Or, change "comm" to be u_int64.
