Hi guys,

Im trying to get afk compiled under ubuntu 8 but it is giving me "make: dlltool: Command not found" Anyone know what package I need to install?

Do you by chance have the WINDOZE or CYGWIN flags turned on in your makefile? I don't think it should try making dlltool unless one of those flags is on. It's just a guess though.

OMG thanks dude! it was cygwin.

But now im getting this:

======================
make -s afkmud

============================
Any ideas? (I know I'm a total noob, but I'm learning)

The long version is something of a long story. The short version, if you just want it to compile, is that you should look for the part that says "g++" in the makefile (near the top, I think... something like CC = g++) and change it to "g++-4.1".

If you're feeling daring of course you could try the 2.1 trunk code since it doesn't have that problem anymore. But that's probably not a good idea for a newbie

Thanks, that did it! ^_^

Might try it, expect more questions.
