Patch for compiling EQEmu with gcc 4.1

[John Adams]

Ok I'll check that out when I get home. I need to learn this Diff stuff anyway.

I am having the worst luck with this. Replacing the lines manually worked perfectly. I can compile and run my world on Linux no problem. Even made a few tweaks to make sure I was really getting it done right.

However, I cannot get this patch above to apply no matter what I do. Even taking just one simple thing (Makefile) and trying to patch gives me an error, thinking it's already been patched and wanting to -R it... but the file still has the extra MAKEs in it, so it's not already patched.

And, I was able to do the diff to re-make the patch the other night perfectly - following your diff example above (except on my Fedora, it says -u1 is obsolete and to use -u 1). Now, tonight, out of nowhere, I cannot even Diff anymore. Now it says my second dir is an extra operand lol... I give up.

Need sleep. I'll try again tomorrow.

Stupid edit button. I knew as soon as I cried and whined like a noob, I'd fix it. I finally got the Diff to work again (upper-case U, not lower case u oops).

Here's a link to the diff file for anyone interested in what eq4me did above. I tested it on a virgin 070-857 tar and got no errors so I think it's formatted right.

I was making an attempt to get the installation done under Suse 10.0. gcc 4.1. I had to modify each make file in one place from <errmsg.h> to "errmsg.h". It was not finding the header.
Once I got it to find the mysql*.h files and the libmysqlclient file, I got down to cleanipc error.
I figgure I was stuck, too new gcc and mysql and installed Suse 9.1 to roll back a bit.
It made just fine with no links to mysql or changes to the make files ( EQEmu-0.7.0-940 ) but it halted in the same place - cleanipc.
I mention it in hopes it helps someone else.

I also ask for help on what to do next. I saw a message to do g++ cleanipc.cpp -o cleanipc, which I did. Truthfully, what to do with all the peices in what fashion next is too scattered to find. 'Secially on 24k dial-up.
EQ4ME's wiki shows to copy the exe over to the server folder, what else do you do? Do I go for the data bases? Copy the files from the EQ game installation over ( to where ) is there a better file structure set up and server launch sequence please?

Thanks
