Hi, I'm trying to compile a comprehensive list of every hardware and software platform that Circle is known to compile on. I need *your* help, please!! I only have access to a relatively limited spectrum of UNIX workstations so I depend on you, the user community, to provide compatiblity reports. I'm trying to create a table that looks something like this: --cut here-- CircleMUD has been reported to compile cleanly, out of the box, on the following systems: Operating System Version Hardware Reported By ----------------------------- --------------- ------------------------------ Linux 1.2.0 Intel i486 jelson@blaze.cs.jhu.edu Solaris 2.3 Sun SS10 jelson@blaze.cs.jhu.edu --cut here-- If you'd like to help generate this list of compatible systems, please follow the following easy 7-step program: 1) Get a clean, fresh copy of Circle 3.0 beta patchlevel 7. 2) Unpack it and type 'make'. 3) Note any compiler warnings and/or errors. 4) If there are ANY warnings or errors at all, go to step 7. 5) Try running the MUD for a little while (actually play it, preferably several people at once, for 5 or 10 minutes.) 6) If everything seems to work correctly, fill out a one-line compatibility entry in the format of the table above, and mail it to jelson@jhu.edu. Otherwise, continue to step 7. 7) Write mail to jelson@jhu.edu describing the problems you've had or showing the errant compiler output. Do not submit a "compatibility line" as shown above -- that's only for 100% clean compiles. After you mail me the compiler output, I will attempt to fix Circle so it works with your OS, and you can try again with the next patchlevel. Thanks!! Jeremy
