Compiling and Installing MServer

Compiling MServer is pretty easy, and as long as there are no problems with the code, once compiled installing MServer is just as simple. First you'll need to change directories, and then we'll use the make command. Like this:

% cd Projects/MServer/src
% make

Once the server has been compiled, you can now decide how to install MServer. Unlike a regular *nix application, MServer can run from anywhere. You can leave it in ~/Projects/MServer/, or you can make another directory and move the files there.

% su root
Password: ****
% mkdir /games/MUD/
% cp -R ~/Projects/MServer /games/MUD/

Either way will work for MServer, you should pick the installation that works best for you.
