Speaking of compiling problems, I'm switching mud hosts (from a mudservices.com host running Redhat, to a wolfpaw.net host running Slackware). I copied the mud over to the new host, removed config.cache, config.status and config.log (just in case, I backed them up first) and reran configure. I then attempted to make, but got the following: velocity:~/shameless/src$ make circle make ../bin/circle make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mud/shameless/meer/shameless/src' gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall comm.c comm.c: In function `new_descriptor': comm.c:1343: `socklen_t' undeclared (first use this function) comm.c:1343: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once comm.c:1343: for each function it appears in.) comm.c:1343: parse error before `i' comm.c:1350: `i' undeclared (first use this function) I am not an advanced C coder, and sockets and operating system-dependent things are way over my head. Here's what I've tried so far: I grepped through the code looking for socklen_t, and didn't find any occurance other than 1 line in comm.c: " socklen_t i;". I searched through the mailing list archives but found nothing specific to this problem, nor anything under 'Slackware' that seemed to fit. I glanced through what configure came up with, though when I ran configure on the new host, it said 'src/conf.h is unchanged'. I kind of get the feeling that this socklen_t error may not be the only problem I will see when attempting to compile my mud under Slackware. Are there any suggestions, or pointers to info? Any help is greatly appreciated.
