Ascii codes of unknown characters

[wotmudguy]

Hi, I play this mud and use Ubuntu. Any possibility of a Linux and Mac binary?

Thanks for looking into the unknown character bug btw.

Current code doesn't compile on Linux (for me anyway) so I haven't tested it on a Mac either. It'd need to wait until git is useable again.

It's actually pretty trivial to compile it if you know what you are doing. It's just a few edits to the src.pro and 2 or 3 cpp files. Like I say, all trivial. Feel free to post any issues you have in doing so and I'll do my best to address them. (Only stipulation is that you use Debian Sid, as that is what I compiled it on).

Current git compiles out of the box on both Windows and Debian SID. You need to install the latestest version of http://www.nih.at/libzip/ (note: the latest Debian package of this library is too old so you need to build it yourself). Latest Ubuntu shouldn't be a problem either as it's pretty much a snapshot of Debian SID.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS doesn't compile it, and Chris' changes to fix that aren't merged yet.

[Heiko]

What's the problem with the Ubuntu LTS release?

[Vadi]

That was discussed two weeks ago in the email. Sadly I can't give a link to it.

The latest git also fails horribly on Sid.

[Heiko]

No, it doesn't - I've built it on both windows & SID.

Out of the box, without manually compiling a library?

It's easier to just merge the two week fix than discuss the specifics of the unbuildable git. Manually fixing things is not quite 'working'.
