I don't recall if you mentioned what OS you're running on. The
following will only work as-is under Linux/Unix/etc. You can probably
do something similar under Windows (but I don't know of an easy way to
make something run in the background under Windows).
You will need to write a script file to do the make for you...
#!/bin/sh
# File: automake
#########################################
cd src
make circle &> ../make.out
Then in act.wizard.c...
ACMD(do_make)
{
system("automake &"); /* Note the & to run it in the background, that
way the MUD
won't lag horribly while it's compiling. */
}
