When i compile in cygwin it is making the corresponding .o files for all the .c files in the src directory. However when i then run the mud, it runs as if i hadnt changed anything. Does this have anything to do with the smaug.exe file being in a different folder than the code? This seems like a really weird problem. I went in and tried to change the who list so that you dont have to type who 1. I just plain commented out the whole if statement that is the response it gives if you just type who with no arguments in act_info.c, and commented out the include REQWHOARGS in mud.h, recompiled then rebooted the mud, and nothing changed, who still gives the arguments that i commented out. This seems like a really abnormal problem, it might have to do with the way i have my mud setup but im not sure which part might be setup weird so if you think you might have an answer if i gave more info please post what you need and ill fill that in.

When you do a compile, a new exec file should be made. (If you get errors, it won't). Make sure the exec you're running is the one that is new.

ah alright i see my problem then. When i compile i get undefined reference errors all over to mcount, crypt, RENAME, and re_exec. In the directions here with cygwin it talked about getting this error with re_exec that i had to go and either comment or uncomment a line in the makefile which i did and it changed nothing. Also in the makefile there were other lines pertaining to these errors but when i commented/uncommented them, no difference occured in the compiling(do i need to change it somewhere else other than just that line to make this work?). There was a previous post about 1 of the undefined reference errors, but the conclusion of that post was to get a new program other than cygwin to compile because cygwin often had problems with the smaug code.
That post also talked about disabling 'backtracing' to fix it. How can i do this with cygwin.

Have you read this?

If you change the Makefile you should recompile everything. Deleting all the .o files (first) will achieve that.

After you compile, go back to the area dir and put in

../src/smaug &

and that will start it up w/ changes included. I had the same problem. Windows doesn't remake the .exe files associated w/ the program, so and copies and maybe shortcuts need to be deleted and redone to be able to run it through the .exe file instead of cygwin.
Think that oughta help ya some

BTW, Nick, might want to mention in your compilation FAQ that little fact w/ Windows, and might help people w/ this problem and save forum space
