Hi everyone,

My goal is to get a mud up and running using DIKU's source code.

I have downloaded the source code, but am not really sure what to do now.

Could you kindly point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

G

Do you plan on trying to host it on your computer or are you looking for an external host?

Untar/unzip distribution.
Start reading instructions
If it's the updated Diku distribution on this site the instructions are found in the file called INSTALL_NOTES
You'll have to decide which operating system you want to run it on.
You'll have to make sure a compiler and tools are installed.

The right direction would be not to pick this codebase to start with unless you have a very good reason to do so.
Otherwise, I personnly use Eclipse CDT with Cygwin on Windows to develop a Diku/merc/Rom base, and when I am ready to push it on a server (a centos) I an test it in a virtual machine with a Fedora installed with Ecipse as well, and I can use Valgrind there to check for memory leak or Buffer overrun. The advantage being I have the same tool on both Oses.
