RE: Help with Compiling - Correction

Below, I wrote that you would type "make <OS as listed in the
Makefile>".  This is wrong.

The real command, is "./configure <OS as listed in the Makefile>".

Sorry for any confusion.

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.

Hey all,
First time poster here.  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.
Thanks
Joe Gabrielli
