Mudlet - Forum

Hi folks, I'm enjoying the heck out of mudlet.

Any chance of an updated release in the near future? The current one is almost a year and a half old, and there are some fixes that Chris committed quite a while back that I'd like to take for a spin.

I'm not opposed to compiling from source, but looks like the build instructions are more angled towards linux rather than a windows environment... although maybe cygwin is a possibility?

I don't have any information about the first personally, but as regards compiling mudlet for Windows, Chris started a thread and wiki article about it: http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3556

Um, the non- MSVC Windoze build platform is MinGW NOT Cygwin, though I've had a look at trying to port Mudlet to the latter I'm not aware that Cygwin ships a Qt5, only Qt4 so I had to revert to that and undo a few recent Qt5 specific change in recent git code. CygwinPorts (the bloody edged, beyond normal Cygwin packages) DOES have Qt5.2 libraries but I couldn't get the Creator IDE to work on either of a couple of machines - though I did get a sort of working Mudlet executable using qmake/make directly. However I was getting warnings about missing signals/slots that I would not have expected and they didn't seem to be related to the Mudlet source code more likely something internal. You will need to use luarocks I think because not all the Lua libraries have been packaged for Cygwin/CygwinPorts - specifically for the database support IIRC. Anyhow, it might be do able, but YMMV.

We're working on it. Sorry about it taking so long. Life

Are we waiting for milestones to be implemented/fixed/tested or is has the lead developer taken a sabbatical?

There are a couple of issues holding up the immediate release of it - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269582 is the bug one. I started to work on it but life's been too hectic last couple of months to finish.
