Is it really compiling? (Smaugfuss)

I m really confused.
I m doing changes to smaugfuss, simple changes like changing the text of the skills and then i compile the mud to apply them.

I get message from make that the compiling is ok but no changes are made. I dont know why...

I get this message on make. Is thing compling for sure?

oblisgr@TaLoS:/mnt/h/smaugfuss/src$ make
make -s smaug
Compiling o/skills.o....
Generating dependency file ...
Done compiling mud.
make -s dns
Done compiling DNS resolver.

Have you shut down the previous (running) version? Recompiling won't affect the one currently executing.

If so, how are you running it? In the src directory, try typing "ls -lt". You should see a list of files sorted in date order. And the date/time should be, like, 5 minutes ago. Like this:



The resolver got compiled last, so it is at the top of the list. smaug.exe got compiled just before, so it is a couple of lines from the top.

Now, to definitely execute that, the "manual" way is to change to the area directory and then run the file smaug.exe. That is:

oblisgr@TAXYDEMA:/mnt/d/smaugfuss/src$ ls -lt

Nick you say that a new smaug file will appear in area folder. This does not happen. I copy the smaug file from src folder into the area folder.

I suppose i have to ./startup?
when i run this file my WSL freezes and i have to close it.
I think it has some problem, it doesnt work properly.

But for sure the make and compling doesnt create smaug file in my area folder.

I figured out that each time i compile new code, i have to make and copy the smaug file from src to area in order the changes will appy.

In other words, every time it created a new smaug file in scr folder which i have to copy.

I suppose it doesnt suppose to work like this, so the question is why the maug file is not created in area folder.

Any ideas?

Nick you say that a new smaug file will appear in area folder.

I never said that. Check what I said.

Now, to definitely execute that, the “manual” way is to change to the area directory and then run the file smaug.exe.

That is, you “cd” to the area folder, and then by typing:

../src/smaug

You are running the smaug file (in the src folder) whilst your current directory is the area directory.

The ../src/ part tells it to find the file “smaug” in the folder “src” located one folder up.

In other words, every time it created a new smaug file in scr folder which i have to copy.

No, just execute it like I said. The file you execute doesn’t have to be in the current directory.

thank that helped!
cheers
