I have been attempting for a week now to get the newest CVS to operate correctly in linux. I know that DRs are unsupported, but am wondering if anybody else has had this particular problem.
I am running a Debian unstable distro w/ a 2.6 series kernel. libc6 v2.3.2-ds1-18. I have tried gcc 3.2 (seems to compile correctly), gcc3.3 (breaks inlining) and 3.4 (does not like the makefile's flags). I have also tried with mysql 3.23.49, and 4.0.x (include and client versions as well).
I have tried modifiying the make files, and even hacking the source a bit (at least studying it to figure out what's going wrong) and am just about at the end of my rope.
All three pieces compile correctly (with a few warnings of course). They seem to run fine, with one exception. It will send it's queries to the db server (I can see them come across in the mysql logs), but then just sits there. (This ONLY happens on the loading items section). After sitting for about 5 minutes it finally times out and sends the other queries which load up the guilds and factions portions. I have not tested whether it is actually serving the world/zones or not but I figured it's no fun without items
I also cannot get it to connect to MiniLogin (kinda wish I had the source for that one but not available).
Was just wondering has anybody else had this issue and resolved it? I've been all over the forums and seen that many people have been able to get eqemu to work in linux, so I'm sure it's probably something I am missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
