Compiling/running world/zone on FreeBSD [patch] [long] [1/2]

[var1ety]

I'm attaching a link to a patch to let you compile/run zone and world on a FreeBSD machine. Successfully compiled/running/talking on a 4.7-STABLE machine with one small problem, when I select a character to log in with I get booted back to the server select screen. I'm not sure if the cause of this is network configuration or FreeBSD at fault; I will try and look again at my network configuration tomorrow, but it seems alright right now. Messages from world and zone are included at the end of this message, and a unified diff against the 0.4.1 release package is attached.

It seems like the two programs are talking fine, and zone even loads up a zone in response to the player attempting to log in, so not sure what the issue might be.

Anyhow, on to the good stuff: To compile you need the devel/linuxthreads port, MySQL libs/headers, and uh, the other normal stuff. I compiled using gcc version 2.95.4. More info on the sourceforge patch page.

if SF doesn't update with the damned attached file i'll just post a followup with the patch in the message body. Uploading files doesn't seem to work anywhere =P

World/Zone output follows; was using minilogin which was running on a win2k pc with no firewalling =(

Without the cfg file, nothing will work.

Well it seems to be reading the zhdr more than once...unless the c+p screwed it up. There may still be problems with the fbsd netstack.. i would get a packet log and compare from a linux one. Our netcode doesn't work well at all together (linux and win32 and such).

[var1ety]

Thank you, Joolz, replacing my cfgs with a fresh set fixed the issue. I can now log in and zone and all that neat crud.

Someone please test the patch =) Gonna add a def to include the headers only if you define freebsd, but dunno how to deal with the makefile changes, which are both integral and non-portable to other OSes.

Also, thank you kathgar, the config thing was a messed up copy and paste, didn't even notice when I pasted =)

[Trumpcard]

make a new makefile called makefilefreebsd and i'll check it in with the other make files.

You'll just need to do a

make -f makefilebsd on freebsd to build it (or you can copy makefilebsd to makefile)

If you ifdef the changes needed, I'll merge it into the baseline.

[var1ety]

Changes are all ifdef'd, I'll move the commented freebsd compile lines to their own makefile and update the readme I included in the diff and repost to SF; thank you for the suggestion, that'll be a lot more elegant and easier to understand =)

[Trumpcard]

Sure thing ! I'll grab it off SF tonight assuming my cable modem starts working again and put the new makefile in.

Nice, another supported OS. :-)

uploaded gzipped tarball to sourceforce with entire copies of changed files for windows users out there, updated for cvs, lemme know if they work, or stop something else from working..
