Run: ./configure If you know what you're doing (ie you've seen a configure script before) --help will list some things you can customize 4. Run: make If there are no errors the code should be compiled. To run the mud for the first time, to see if it runs properly: 5. Run: cd area 6. Run: ../src/dotd -v The mud will log it's output and if it says 'Ready to run' everything should be good to go. You can now 'Ctrl+C' it and run it through the normal startup script: 7. Run: cd ../src 8. Run: nohup ./startup & The configure script has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris but close variants should work. If you get errors compiling, contact dotd@dotd.com.
