MudOS installation (1993/01/28)
|
|
|
|
This is a brief description of how to install MudOS 0.9 (or later)
|
|
using native 3.x mode (MudOS does _not_ support 2.4.5 compatibility mode).
|
|
|
|
When you have uncompressed and untarred the MudOS_0.9.15.tar.Z file, the
|
|
following directories (and possibly others) should have been automatically
|
|
created: src, bin, doc, etc, and mudlib.
|
|
|
|
Perform the following steps:
|
|
|
|
0) Switch into the source subdirectory (cd src).
|
|
|
|
1) Set a value for INSTALL_DIR in the Makefile:
|
|
|
|
Edit the Makefile (or GNUmakefile if you have GNU make) using your favorite
|
|
editor. Change the INSTALL_DIR macro to point to an appropriate bin
|
|
directory (remember to save your changes).
|
|
|
|
2) Read the comments in the Makefile (or GNUmakefile) closely and make changes
|
|
to the various macro definitions as appropriate for your particular
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
3) Edit the options.h file to specify a memory management package.
|
|
|
|
Choose one of SYSMALLOC, WRAPPEDMALLOC, or DEBUGMALLOC.
|
|
If you are using a NeXT or an RS/6000, do not choose BSDMALLOC or
|
|
SMALLOC (it won't link, you'll be wasting your time... hack away if
|
|
you like but consider yourself forewarned). If you are using an HP, you
|
|
probably should use smalloc or bsdmalloc (use SYSMALLOC in options.h
|
|
and uncomment SMALLOC* or BSDMALLOC* in the Makefile) since the HP
|
|
system malloc is really slow. Note that smalloc is much more
|
|
space (overhead) efficient than bsdmalloc. Be sure to read
|
|
doc/driver/malloc before modifying the driver source code.
|
|
|
|
4) Edit the options.h file to specify a default directory (CONFIG_FILE_DIR)
|
|
for the runtime config file. This step is optional.
|
|
|
|
If you do not choose to set a value for CONFIG_FILE_DIR you will need
|
|
to specify the full path to the config file each time you start the
|
|
driver (e.g.: driver /usr/local/mud/etc/config.lil). If you do
|
|
specify a value for CONFIG_FILE_DIR (and you put the config.lil file
|
|
in that directory), then you may start the driver using:
|
|
driver config.lil
|
|
|
|
5) Read the comments in the options.h file and change those remaining macro
|
|
definitions that are not set appropriately for your tastes.
|
|
|
|
6) If your machine is not listed in the 'Platforms' file in this directory,
|
|
then you may need to change port.h.
|
|
|
|
7) Type: make install
|
|
|
|
If errors occur at this stage, then you may be able to correct them by
|
|
making additional changes to Makefile, options.h, or port.h. If 'make'
|
|
prints some message similar to "/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _ualarm" then
|
|
that means your machine does not have the ualarm() system call. In this
|
|
case, you could correct the problem be uncommenting the UALARM definitions
|
|
in the Makefile. If the install -c command itself fails, then you will need
|
|
to copy the driver and addr_server to the bin directory manually (using
|
|
the cp or mv command). If /bin/ld prints an error regarding _getrusage,
|
|
you will need to undefine RUSAGE in port.h. Messages regarding _random,
|
|
_drand48, and _fchmod may be handled similarly. If you make changes to
|
|
options.h, you will need to type 'make clean' and then 'make install'
|
|
once more.
|
|
|
|
8) The driver should now be successfully installed. You should now read
|
|
the helpfile entitled 'Run'.
|
|
|
|
9) Hint, if you are short on disk space and wish to make the driver and
|
|
addr_server binaries as small as possible, try using the 'strip' command.
|
|
type: 'strip driver' and 'strip addr_server'. Note that doing this
|
|
will make it difficult to get any useful information from running the
|
|
driver inside a symbolic debugger.
