Joe: I'm no wiz at compiling either but normally the compilation sequence is as follows: ./configure make make install Normally, you should see a file called INSTALL or README or something of that nature that explains how to compile and install the program. If you continue to experience problems, you might want to check the Makefile (file) to see if this program was written to support multiple operating systems. This can be seen by looking for all UPPERCASE labels like SUN, HP, AIX, or LINUX, in which case, you'll want to type make <os as listed in the Makefile> for example, make linux. Sadly, since the Makefile can be written in so many different ways, without proper documentation, you must figure out how to compile the program properly. BTW, make dep is the first step in compiling a new kernel, not for compiling a "typical" program.

I'm trying to compile a dated MUD client for Xwindow- Unix/Linux for XFree86 on OSX. But I'm having no luck. I'm not heavily skill in such things, and I was hoping someone here with a bit more knowledge could help point me in the right direction. The client source is available from here http://imperial.kqgames.com/clients.html for any who are interested. I followed the readme pretty carefully, ran the "configure" script, and then attempted to run the makefile "make dep". What I got was the errors down below (which for the life of me I don't understand). Either I need to change something in the config.h header file, or there's something going on that's changed in the developers tools on OSX versus Linux or other Unices? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
